Senile Liberalism

This is an excellent article on what is wrong with Republicans and Democrats. I don't know if you can access it if you are not a Weekly Standard subscriber. But if you are not, well shame on ya.

An excerpt:
"TO SOME DEMOCRATS, a message gauged to appeal to the "undiscover'd country" somehow represents a rejection of all liberal values. If liberalism means affirmative action, unrestricted abortions, ever more invasive controls on small property owners, gay marriage, and opposition to any hint of religious ideals, then the ideas suggested here are indeed heretical. These positions are acceptable to the Democratic party faithful in large part because their base lies with groups such as government workers or university professors, who would benefit from an expansion of government power and control. The other major blocs of support, outside of organized labor, come from social liberals on Wall Street and in Hollywood, and high-tech billionaires, people largely immune to the ill effects of liberal dirigisme."
