the long run. For 40-50 years, they've been building a hegemony through the American South and Midwest. And they've taken over most of the governorships, state legislatures, school boards, judgeships, etc. They never give up. Their ideological zealotry has taken the conservatives over the top and now they have the Congress.

They never give up like we liberals, do. They never take their toys and go home when they don't get their way RIGHT AWAY! They're in it for the long haul.
