The Disgrace of Liberalism
By J.R. Dunn
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/03/the_disgrace_of_liberalism.html
2008 marks the end of liberalism as a governing force in the same way that 1968 marked the end of liberalism as a political doctrine.
American liberals spent the '60s seeing their programs and policies collapse one after the other. The War on Crime, the War on Poverty, civil rights legislation, Vietnam, all were either unmitigated disasters or textbook examples of the law of unintended consequences. The Democrats went into the 1968 presidential election as crippled as any political party in American history, choked with failure, bereft of ideas, and facing a general uprising from their own younger elements.
Can it be? An interesting case is made in the above article. A very good read in any case. (I got yer hope of change right here folks)
