Not quite, unless we have 60 loyal pubbie senators, or they change the rules of the Senate.

"A Republican Party that is more conservative than Mr. Goldwater could have imagined controls the White House,"

When the hell did that happen?

An interesting article, especially coming from the NY Times.

The one thing that they can't comprehend when they talk about the rise of conservatism since Goldwater and the sixties, is the correctness of conservatism.

Maybe liberalism is failing because it has no logical or moral core.

There is still far too much socialism (an ideology entirely based on theft) in our society, but things are swinging slowly back towards the concepts of individuality and freedom.

These swings take decades.

I don't buy it. The Left has been on the attack on all fronts - socially, culturally, politically, etc... for years. Everytime you turn around WE are the ones reacting to THEM.

But maybe I just see it differently.

Don't be fooled. What this article is really saying is, "we know liberals have the best plans and programs, we just aren't organized like those bad old conservatives. Conservative ideas are so bad the conservatives have to get all these rich people to put up millions to create and sustain all these think tanks and activist groups to promote their ideas and make them appear popular. We liberals don't need to do that because our ideas are so obviously superior!"

And the left still shows no real sign of knowing how to fight back.

They are, as we speak, trying to use the prison abuses to disenfranchise the right. The press has a campaign to get Bush and, in so doing, delegitimize all that conservatives stand for. That is "fighting back". The socialist / anti-Christian / Hedonist ideals have taken over American popular culture. Political correct dialogue is all that the public forum will permit. Gay "rights" are being cramed down our throats. Our military is being trashed. If Blair gets dumped, USA and Israel may just be alone with a few sympthetic but impotent countries looking out for their own survival. I would say the left is fighting back, just not openly in a fair and public debate where they stand to lose.

today. A Republican Party that is more conservative than Mr. Goldwater could have imagined controls the White House, Congress, many governors' mansions and a majority of seats in state legislatures.

The editors at the Times have really lost touch with reality.

I shudder to think how far to the left the editorial staff really is.
