The Republican Party is not for small government. They are for imposing their values on America; but rather then doing it in a convincing manner, they bully their way around. That’s why I think that they need a lesson.
When I was a teenager, our family used to take road trips on European country roads (way before GPS and MapQuest). I would argue about the best way to get to destination. Well, my dad said “you lead the way, son.” Sometimes, we wouldn’t get to destination until late in the evening. Well, I learned humility and I learned cooperation.
