Sadly, I fear that we're in for a massive right-wing, conservative revival. It's unbelievably depressing and demoralizing. We hole-up in our little on-line bunkers and lament the end of liberalism. Unfortunately it's all we have right now. No one else is listening. No one else seems to even care about listening.

You know what they say, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em".

"Socialism and liberty can not go together."

Of course. The main problem with socialism is that it requires a police state.

Bastiat clearly establishe this 150 years ago when he wrote "The Law" and Hayek put a questions to reat with his The Road to Serfdom in 1946 in which Hayek firmly establishes that "Socialism forms the roots of Naziism."
