Do you consider Joe McCarthy and his most ardent followers to have been the left? How about the Dixiecrats of the Old South politically allied with the hard-nosed Northern ethnics?

Some of the biggest conservative disappointments have come from traditional Protestant institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and the blue-blood establishment. Old-line Protestant denominations have dried up and blown away. I admit that Catholics have a mixed record but there is enough blame to go around for all.

What I consider liberal is the Catholic vote being an extremely dependable vote for the left in election, after election for generations. There was nothing unique about the Catholics electing Obama.
