Actually, I will agree that Dems are more open to ideas.
The problem here is that Dems are open to every lunatic idea imaginable, like the idea that socialism does anything but impoverish the masses while allowing the Politburo to live off the fat of the land.
I would rather concentrate on a few old ideas that I know have worked in the past — like the Christian religion and the U.S. Constitution.
Reagan: “The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so”
As described by the famed economist, Milton Friedman,
"In the only cases in recorded history where the masses have been able to escape grinding poverty is where they have had capitalism and free trade.... History is absolutely clear, that there is no alternative way so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people, that can hold a candle to the productive activities unleashed by the free enterprise system."
Very good.
