ON NET, I believe the liberal philosophy has done ENORMOUS good for America over the past 100 years.
I think that's right.

Yesterday I saw that clip of Obama admitting that the Republican Party from Reagan-to-W was, indeed, "the party of ideas." And he's right. We can't ignore that either. It's to his credit that he can see the value -- the necessity -- for the Reagan revolution that was co-opted by Bill Clinton. Remember, "the era of big government is over?"

Unfortunately, the likely nominee, Mrs. Clinton, has completely forgotten that philosophy. I think she never really shared it. That's why (setting annoying personality tics aside) a lot of people, myself included, really can't stand the thought of her winning. She is of the visceral Reagan-hating wing of the Democratic Party.
