Well, it's over. No more screed. The conservatives have total control of the organs of government, and except for rare procedural blocks, the moderates can do nothing to prevent any action on the part of the government. They have at least four years to eliminate government, "stimulate" the economy by cutting taxes and regulation, continue to eliminate union representation, reduce civil rights to increase the effectiveness of courts and police, reduce public education funding, shift more government functions to the private sector, and increase the deficit to fund military ventures.

They have their wide-open crack at Social Security, and at abortion. They have their "wins" in same-sex marriage.

They have their wide open shot at drilling in national park lands. Eliminating pollution controls. Reversing 75 years of law considered carefully by hundreds of men (and women) who made decisions based on problems that were then facing society. Eliminating programs that care for people who cannot take care of themselves. They're almost done with this work, and now, it only remains to finish the job.

Pursue imperial expansion into Syria - we know they're next on the list. Continue to use selective judgment on foreign policy matters.

Withdraw from the United Nations - in fact, kick them out of New York and make them establish themselves on friendlier soil. Withdraw from more treaties that limit our freedom to act.

Do everything you think will make life better and the economy more productive. Have at it, already. Don't ask questions, you've been given the mandate from the American people. Appoint the judges you wish to see on the bench.

In four years, no excuses about what you weren't able to accomplish, or why it didn't work. It's all about your performance now. Best wishes. At the end of the four years, if this doesn't work, I want to hear from you about what DIFFERENT you will do to MAKE it work. No more excuses.
