Clintonism is the symptom of this.....its cause is far deeper..is daily fed and nurtured in the Ivy League, in your local public schools..see the International Bacalaureate programs in your state...http://edaction.org/2004/063004.htm
It took the pure evil of the Clintons (who are FAR and away the most wicked american politicians in our history) to move the ball as far as it has been moved.
IMO, they are in a league with the worst of the worst in recorded history, and I have no doubt they are agents of evil and are actively plotting for the enemy and against us.
They aren't just the garden variety putrid socialists like their disciples (the litany I mentioned--all of whom have bowed to their master) and those Ivy Leaguers to whom you refer.
The Clintons are cold fusion waiting to strike. They use conventional weapons too, but--as in 1992 when they defeated GB Sr, and nunerous times during their evil reign--will happily use the nuclear option at any time if is the only means to their end.
