Election tally: Glenn Beck won. Progressivism lost.
By Jonathan Zimmerman Jonathan Zimmerman Wed Nov 3, 11:08 am ET
New York Score one for Glenn Beck. Not just for Mr. Becks Republican Party, which captured the House and nearly the Senate in yesterdays midterm elections. The verdict represents a victory for Becks political philosophy, a brand of conservatism that sees progressive values as the No. 1 threat to America. One day, historians might look back on 2010 as the year that Americans sounded the death knell for progressivism itself.
A government solution for every problemThe term dates to the early 20th century, when social reformers triggered an unprecedented explosion of government activity. To these self-described Progressives, Americas filthy cities, factories, farms, and schools cried out for improvement and regulation. They crafted new laws to bring this undirected chaos under intelligent control.
