Not at all, and there's no way an intelligent human being could have construed what I said to have meant that.So how'd that work out for the Soviet Union? How's it working out for the leftist paradises of North Korea, Cuba, China? Have they dealt with "those aspects of human nature that are most harmful to the general welfare, common defense, and domestic tranquility"?It's human nature for humans to organize together and create a system of laws to deal with those aspects of human nature that are most harmful to the general welfare, common defense, and domestic tranquility.
I repeat: Progressivism is doomed to failure.
You're rejecting the concept of humans organizing under systems of laws?
lol
Most Liberals tend to be snotty sarcastic High School Drop-Out types. You would think they would grow out of that stuff eventually but many just don't. Most are just petulant annoying children in the end. They will never grow up. Just look at most of these Obama-supporters. They're certainly no geniuses. It's actually very sad.

You obviously do not know many liberals.

Would be interested in seeing your post outlining what liberals are like, what they wish, and how their views compare with conservative's views.

I'm telling you that progressivism, as represented by the countries I listed, has been an utter failure. History shows this. At least, it shows this to those who aren't willfully blind.

If that review is accurate, it's devastating.
Mamet depicts the drama by reducing the two concepts to what he believes is their core, apparently learned from half a semester of high-school political science and a week of talk radio: The right practices logic and believes in individual freedom; the left is a cult which believes in the power of the government.
lol, Mamet appears to have morphed into the equivalent of a B-list internet forum wingnut, proudly sporting his newly acquired official dittohead starter kit.

"David Mamet made a stir in 2008 with his Village Voice essay, "Why I Am No Longer a Brain-Dead Liberal." This book is a fuller, wittier, and more scathing treatment of the same subject--a liberal screenwriter who has "seen the light."
Like other big media apostates, Andrew Breitbart, Tom Wolfe, John Stossel, Ben Stein, and Dennis Miller, Mamet realized the liberal assumptions that capitalism was evil and that Republicans were corporate lackeys had serious holes. When he began to investigate the logic behind free markets, he realized that it actually made sense. As Mamet puts it, modern liberalism is nothing more than a religion that its practitioners preach blindly on faith.
To examine the inanity of modern liberals, Mamet offers 39 entertaining essays that cover the gamut of modern living, including "Adventure Slumming," "Cabinet Spiritualism and the Car Czar," and, my favorite, "Oakton Manor and Camp Kawaga." Throughout the expose, Mamet makes use of his excellent perspective in the arts. With examples from his theater class, he shows exactly how absurd political correctness and the liberal agenda can be.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story and wants to peer into the ultra-liberal New York/L.A. big media mindset."

That kind of comical mischaracterization of liberalism is exactly the sort of thing that makes Mamet look like he's a standard-issue product of rightwing talk radio.
I would like some evidence that Mamet has really become a conservative, and by that I mean,
a conservative who can pass all the various litmus tests that the 'pure' conservatives demand before they'll honor someone with the title.
For example, is Mamet now more conservative than John McCain? Can he claim that? Because if he isn't he in no way passes the modern test.

maybe he is someone who has decided to stop drinking the kool aid long enough and use his eyes and ears and read.....without being afraid of what he might find.

I'm going with a rather more exotic theory (and it is arguable). He's Jewish, and has become angry with what he perceives to be a growing anti-Semitism on the Left. That's his gut-level motivation.
The rest is dress-up.
you trumped me!!!

No. I am referencing the widespread conservative opinion that people like John McCain can't be called conservative.
You know, the kind of rightwing PC (political correctness, not politicalchic) whose counterpart on the left is, IRONICALLY,
what Mamet is objecting to.
