No matter who prevails at the ballot box in November, John McCain or Barack Obama, the four-decade-long conservative counterrevolution is over.
Now that Hillary Clinton has conceded the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama, the primaries are over and the general election campaign for the White House has begun. On the Republican side, however, the general election campaign began months ago -- and presumptive nominee John McCain has spent much of that time tacking toward the center. He praised multilateralism in a March 26 speech in Los Angeles and in general is trying to appear more like an Eisenhower Republican than a Reagan Republican. True, every four years all major-party presidential candidates race toward the center. But in the last decade, even during the seven-plus years of the Bush presidency, the center of American politics has moved considerably to the left. Whether Obama or McCain wins the White House, liberalism has already won the national debate about the future of the country.
For 40 years, the radical right tried to destroy the domestic and international order that American liberals created in the central decades of the 20th century. The people who are known today as "conservatives" are better described as "counterrevolutionaries." The goal of Barry Goldwater and the intellectuals clustered around William F. Buckley Jr.'s National Review was not a slightly more conservative version of the New Deal or the U.N. system. They were reactionary radicals who dreamed of a counterrevolution. They didn't just want to stop the clock. They wanted to turn it back.
Three great accomplishments defined midcentury American liberalism: liberal internationalism, middle-class entitlements like Social Security and Medicare, and liberal individualism in civil rights and the culture at large.

What the matter,....you can call me and anyone else all kinds of names....but can’t take it?
Like my Mom always said...”if you dish it out...be prepared to get it back”...an you have a nice day!
Actually, fighting back against a nem caller...IS demonstrating self respect. Have a lovely day!

I did not call you names. So don’t lie. You made a personal attack using profanity. I don’t know why you are still here. You shouldn’t be.
I hope your day is a miserable as your personality.
So not only do you to to bully others with name calling and snide remarks, you then LIE about it. You called me all the names I listed..and have been calling others them as well. Perhaps it’s the only thing you’re good at since real political discussion seems beyond you.
If you can’t take it....don’t dish it out! Have a truely lovely and God filled day!
I know you won’t have a God filled day, no one could who uses profanity like a member of DU, so don’t pretend. Others know about you.
Somehow that thread disappeared. It did after I reported abuse. I myself, would have left the thread and pulled you.
Be careful not to fall off that high and mighty horse of yours....”others” have written me about YOU....they are watching YOU...Have a God filled and blessed day...for God even blesses the asses amoung us. No profanity; just a fact!
If you can’t take it...don’t dish it out!
I feel very sorry for you. Your post is a reflection of your problem.
Run along and use your profanities with someone else.
One only needs to check my posting history. They won’t find profanity used on other posters. Even those that I disagree with.
Calling people royalists and slave owners because they think the people who pay the taxes should have control of their own money just shows your ignorance, and your name-calling and insults just reveals your nasty personality. Try reading a book instead of calling people names.
I'll check back and see what names you call me.
You run along and check the definition of profanity. “Ass” and or “jerk” doesn’t fall in that definition!
Like I said...your “posting history” shows that you do a lot of name calling ...and make a lot of snide remarks..about McCain or any poster you disagree with......and when you get it back...you cry like the little baby!
If you can’t take it...don’t dish it out!
Have a lovely and God filled day!
Bye
Were you born micro cephalic or did the doctor drop you?
Was JOHN ADAMS a KING WORSHIPPER?.
Normally I don't respond to RETARDS, but since unfortunately your vote counts as much as mine, I thought I might pass along the news that in spite of your PARANOID DELUSION, I have no illusion that the franchise will ever be taken away from simpletons like yourself UNTIL THE REPUBLIC FALLS.
And then maybe in the aftermath the FOUNDING FATHERS ADVICE WILL BE HEEDED .
And whats with your "PRINCESS" fetish, are you light in the loafers?
Would you like that roasted or deep fried? :)
Are you running around FR with a bag of crows?
Anyway, deep fried, please, with a side of onion rings and a large glass of bourbon, hold the ice.
