It occurs to me that much of modern liberal policy can be compared to a newly-licensed young driver taking his hands off the steering wheel. Everyone knows what happens when you take your hands off the wheel–if the tires are well-balanced, and the car is moving slowly, there may not be an immediate consequence evident–the car will continue moving in about the same direction at the same speed as before. But if there’s no one to make course corrections, or if the wheels aren’t perfectly balanced, or if there’s a bend in the road, eventually the car will go off course–perhaps disastrously so.

Likewise, some of the infantile policy changes being implemented by the Dems–the asinine health care bill, the “cash for clunkers” program, the unwillingness to admit that we are currently embroiled in a war in the Middle East (let alone to fight it properly)–are all akin to taking their hands off the wheel. The trouble is, we’re not perfectly aligned to begin with–and from my vantage point I can see many, many bends in the road ahead.

Pray they lose their majority, and soon, to someone who’s willing to steer carefully and watch the road.
