Am I wrong?

Is it true that EVERY bad thing that occurs can be traced to some liberal policy?

Even your reference to ill mannered kids - “self esteem” movement, non-punishment movement, “wouldn’t want to break their spirits” movement - all _liberal_ ideas, all bad.

Guh...I know of which you speak. I have a colleague whose spouse bought into the whole hippie "let the child set the agenda" bullhonkey. And for their trouble, they have a 4-year-old who still isn't toilet trained and is fixing to grow up to be a perfect little sociopath. And these were the people who hounded me to pledge that I would never spank our child. Took everything I had not to reply, "I'm sorry...you're in no position to lecture anyone on good parenting."
