3-monkey massacre

For the last decade, ever since the failed implementation of the Contract With America, Republican moderates, Rockefellerites and the mainstream media have preached that in order to maintain its grasp on the electorate, the Republican Party would have to move to the center and establish a Big Tent. This wisdom was embraced and repeated ad nauseam by most of the conservative commentariat, which with only a few exceptions was quite happy to ''carry the water'' (in Rush Limbaugh's term) for the party's political pragmatists.

This Republican pragmatism came at the price of Republican principles. Conservatism was replaced by compassionate conservatism. Small government was replaced by strong government. National defense was replaced by the defense of Middle Eastern democracy. National sovereignty was replaced by the Free Trade Area of the Americas. Congressional declarations of war were replaced by permission slips from the United Nations. The Department of Education was not closed, but the Department of Heimland Sicherheit was created.
