Excellent point. And Democrats pre-Vietnam were pro-national security from FDR to Truman to JFK. They may have been wrong in so many other ways, and even implemented national security badly, but I have no question of their commitment to the defense of this country. Other than Joe Lieberman, I can't name a single national Democrat who I think has the protection of US national security as a priority. Not one.
But HBO won't make a documentary about that huge change in the Democratic party. No, instead we should fear that religious people exercise their free speech and voting rights by influencing the Republican party. HBO has made its intolerance, contempt and bigotry against religious people, whether Mormons or now conservative religious voters, all too clear. I'll be cancelling my subscription.
Harry and Bess would not be able to contain themselves in denouncing that filth, that is what would be happening.
Liberalism regards human history as a "budding rose unfolding;" it develops teleologically until it reaches perfection (the "omega point") and then magically stops. And this programming took place without a Creator; in fact, the unfolding universe itself seems to be regarded as the creator.
Anyway, according to liberals, a "moderate," "centerist," "decent" person is one who keeps up with the unfolding of history (from the Tennessee Valley Authority to "gay rights") and a "dangerous radical" is a person who maintains his original position instead of changing with the times.
