over the edge?
universal health care is over the edge?
cutting polluting emissions is over the edge?
what conservatives seem to want is an "every man (leave women and others out) society where only the strong survive.
We had that in the late 1800's. Big business had it all and regular people had nothing.
Liberalism gave us our excellent standard of living. Conservatism resisted that.

how sad
It doesnt sound true at all. Liberalism is so close now to going over the edge. Be careful for what you wish you may actually end up getting it.

Re: Children, children!
I am inclined to agree with you, cp. It is pretty common knowledge that FDR enacted programs that his cousin, Teddy, proposed when forming the Progressive Party 3 decades before.
And yes, politics is the art of the popular. That's why major parties have little chance of enacting legislation for people's good rather than what people want.
The present situation is a prime example.

Children, children!
Don't you see that all that has been done to help the little guy in this country has been advocated long before by populists and goo-goos and would have been implemented to actually help the little guy if the political parties didn't pervert the ideas for political gain, i.e. so that the little guy ends up getting screwed in the end.
Check out my populist (Popular Capitalist) views in my column at the Johnsonville Press.

HEY GUYS! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PROVE ME WRONG!
And you haven't.
But isn't that the conservative way? Name-calling, innuendo, mud-smearing . . . but not an ounce of solid, fact-based, REASONED discourse.
