Why conservatives have trouble getting elected

Warner Todd Huston writes at Renew America: “As a result of this mis-educational system we are now weighted down with, we are disgorging into the greater world from those flagellation stations we call ‘schools’ citizens that mindlessly expect that politicians exist only to ‘give us stuff.’ The individualist spirit that expected government to leave us alone is now subdued, replaced with a spirit of looking to government as mommy. It is a mommy, though, with apron strings that strangle us to death.”
