Townhall.com: Michael Medved: For Conservatives, Obama's Changes Would Be Permanent and Devastating

For all of us, actually -- on immigration, new entitlements, new government agencies, "conservatives need to face the fact that Barack Obama has promised profound systemic changes that will be irreversible--absolutely permanent alterations of our economy and government where there is no chance at all that Republican office-holders of the future could in any way repair the damage.... The chances of ever taking away such goodies are nil --- Presidents may come and go, but entitlements are forever.... In his first years in office, a President Obama could easily succeed in buying so many interest groups and constituencies with expensive new governmental favors, that conservative dreams of rebuilding a small government majority will go absolutely nowhere." Remember Reagan promising to eliminate the then-new Departments of Energy and Education?
