Guardian: The Triumph of Liberalism

[dynasaw]

The article states " It was not merely Democrats, but liberalism, which was triumphant. . . the GOP has now been not merely defeated, but crushed. The horrendous political legacy of George Bush and Dick Cheney continues to sink the GOP, and demographic realities – how toxic the American Right is to the very groups that are now becoming America's majority – makes it difficult to envision how this will change any time soon."

1. Oh I LOVE this! I really LOVE this.

Seriously, EAT IT ghost of Ronald Reagan.

2. +1. Now to fight off the ghost of Ayn Rand in each state. Still pushing for the end of civil

government by defunding and privatization, ala Nordquist.

3. Depressing article--

Cuts in Medicare and SS all but inevitable. For tiny tax increase on the rich. We need a revolution.

4. Harry Reid already stated no cuts to either. But what I don't get is...

How SS could even BE cut. It is a pay-it-forward system, you can't cut younger people's SS since they already paid or are paying their fair share into it for someone else who is already collecting it.
