It would be nice if we really did want those things, but . . .

. . . I suspect America doesn't cherish freedom and national greatness that much anymore.

David Harsanyi looks at a new Rasmussen poll and has doubts that respondents offered these viewpoints truthfully:

1.) "We hate Congress"

2.) "We want a third party."

3.) "We're super-worried about debt."

4.) Government is too big."

It's interesting that people want to believe they hold these views, and want others to believe they hold them.  But election results of the past couple of decades do not point to a conclusion that we are still a center-right country.

Which is not to say, of course, that those of us who actually are center-right should stop fighting.
