When I read “Big Victory for Conservatives” in the last
edition of Random Lengths News, I had
to rub my eyes and look again. Either hell has frozen over, or finally liberal
progressives are finally recognizing what I and many limited government advocates
have been declaring for a long time: real progress is scaling back the state
and expanding liberty for the individual and local control for cities and
states. I still cannot believe that RLn would
print a press release from the conservative “religious, right-wing” Heritage
Foundation, but they did, and I congratulate them for doing so.

From the outside at the outset, limited government conservatives
have long railed against Big Business as well as Big Labor making backroom
deals in Washington DC at the expense of We the People. Obamacare was cobbled
together under such officious, secretive compromises. Here in California, Big
Labor and Big Business have already declared war on working Californians,
trying to ban plastic bags.

The closure and non-renewal of the Export-Import Bank is a
major victory, one of many during the current and previous Congresses, in which
government programs have stalled and died away. Even President Ronald Reagan
could not boast of such accomplishments, having managed only to slow the growth
of government, then preside over the closure of one department, which reopened under a succeeding administration.

This coupling of opposition to Big Business can
unite many
otherwise disparate fronts. PBS's liberal anchor Bill Moyers and former
Reagan
Administration Budget Director David Stockman discussed civilly the need
to end
Big Government bailouts to any private organization. Before that,
conservative
Washington Post columnist George Will and Left-wing pundit turned
professor
Robert Reich sat at “ABC’s This Week” Roundtable and declared their
commitment to ending corporate welfare (which includes the Ex-Im Bank).

Even US Senators Ted Cruz (Tea Party) and Bernie Sanders
(Socialist-In-Name-Only) joined forces to stop Ex-Im. Federal representatives
can forge bipartisan solutions, as long as they assist Main Street and Middle
America, not Wall Street and K Street.

By the way, the more people I meet, young and old, the more
that they identify themselves as conservative. The headline for the Heritage
Foundation should not have read “Victory for Conservatives”, but “Victory for
All Americans”. That is true face of conservatism: progress for every working
man and an opportunity to participate in the American Dream, the lasting, long
sought heritage of our Founding Fathers.
