Setting the table for the Party of No

Democrats have gotten very good at setting the rules of political engagement.  They have been allowed to frame every argument and set every agenda for every issue.
Let's take, for example, the argument over the health care reform bill, Obamacare.  Democrats came out firing with both barrels -- interesting since most leftists oppose the individual right to own firearms.  They set the terms of the discussion with the claim that "health care in America is broken."  Unfortunately, many Republicans and conservatives agreed.  "You're right, health care is broken, but our way to fix it is better."
Or, take for another example, recent legislation to extend unemployment "benefits."  The way I see it, there are no benefits inherent anywhere in being unemployed.  Again, Democrats said, "We need this."  Republicans said, "Yes we do.  But lets just do this and that.  We should probably make it 'deficit-neutral,' or at least give it that appearance."
It's a weak, weak argument.  It's the same argument the liberal and liberal-lite parties make all across Europe, and the reason they have not been an economic force in two hundred years and routinely face chronic high unemployment and ethnic groups that refuse to join the common culture.
The problem is this type of weak opposition reinforces an original premise which is wrong from the start.  It's awfully hard to counter an argument with agreement.
As a result Democrats have been able to push nearly every item of their socialist wish list with nary the meekest opposition from Republicans.  And, as a result, America is on the cusp of becoming a third-world banana republic dictatorship ruled by an elite class of "intelligentsia."
Think about this the next time you and your buddies crack open a 30-pack of Coors Light.  Your pal says, "Let's drink the whole case!"
But you don't think drinking an entire case of 30 cans of light beer is such a good idea.  You might say you "oppose" his idea.
"No, I don't think that's a good idea," you counter.  "Let's only drink most of the beer."
So you and your friend rock out and polish off 26 cans of beer, black out and awake weeks later on a Japanese whaling ship cleaning carcasses.
How's that for opposition?
Republicans need to embrace the concept of opposition.  They need to become obstinate.  "Party of No" ought to be badge of patriotic honor.  Conservatives have it right.  We know what works, and have mountains of empirical data to support it.  If we fight harder for our liberty maybe we'll be able to keep it.
