While I can sympathize with the sentiment, we have no one else to blame as conservatives but ourselves for letting the leftists call the agenda. So afraid to be tarred with any epithet – racist, sexist, unfeeling, not compassionate, or any number of others – we allowed ourselves to be browbeaten into submission and not to protest LOUDLY when business was hamstrung by idiotic regulations. I closed a business seventeen years ago up north when I was told I’d have to retrofit my entire production building – already equipped with sprinkler systems and fire alarms – with newer equipment for no good reason at a cost that would have bankrupted me. I was denied permission to move the business within the state (which I shouldn’t even have needed, this is America after all) and basically to spend money I didn’t have. So, 28 people lost their jobs. Such is the mentality of our benevolent government!
