The "liberal" wing of the Dems would fit quite nicely in with Republicans from the 50s. And Barry Goldwater, who was considered a ultra-rightist in the 60s, would be viewed as suspiciously "moderate" were he to be in the GOP of today. Let's not forget it was the allegedly liberal Clinton who extended the federal death penalty in a crime omnibus, who "reformed" welfare, and who pursued a foreign policy that involved considerable military intervention abroad.Davegeeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-21836902938085632962010-08-23T17:59:01.890-06:002010-08-23T17:59:01.890-06:00Rachel Maddow once said, "I'm undoubtedly...Rachel Maddow once said, "I'm undoubtedly a liberal, which means that I'm in almost total agreement with the Eisenhower-era Republican party platform."<br />I'm really not kidding at all, it's pretty much common knowledge that the United States has been steadily drifting further and further to the right for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-50440879569693319242010-08-19T13:04:22.577-06:002010-08-19T13:04:22.577-06:00"a right-wing government and a far-right-wing..."a right-wing government and a far-right-wing government."<br /><br />You're kidding me right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335908177719535466.post-22166963309701604512010-08-18T16:44:37.250-06:002010-08-18T16:44:37.250-06:00I like how in the article it comments that Mr. Fro...I like how in the article it comments that Mr. Fromm quit the Western Guard because it "lost its quality of tolerance". Now he pals around with neo-Nazi skinheads.

I'm sure he loves the United States, where you get to vote between a right-wing government and a far-right-wing government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
