"The momentum has been steadily leftwards for the last 100 years or so"

That was true up to about 1980 because Marx's ideas sounded good in theory, but history showed otherwise and Ronald Reagan ushered in a new era of conservatism and showed that our Founding Fathers had the correct system. The left's ideas have been proved by history not to work, but they just don't want to believe it.

Well, I hope you guys are right, and maybe you are - after all, the tide does turn every 6 hours.

Reagan, IMO, has been the only president in recent years to understand or even care about the ideals of our founding fathers. But I don't at all think our leftward march was halted in 1980. Slowed down for awhile maybe. Sped up under Clinton. Moving slower with W, but still moving.

Do you remember President Reagans quip about liberals believing in Marxism, and conservatives don't because they actually read Marx.
