I think it would be more realistic to say that America is SOCIALLY liberal but FISCALLY and MILITARILY conservative...
liberalism is no more dead today than conservatism was 2 years ago when conservative republicans were swept out of office
If we had had Conservatives in the Congress when the Authorization of Force was voted upon, we would not be hip deep in two wars.
We would not have run up deficits beyond any recognition of rationality.
We would have balanced the budget and assured the future of the Republic.
Our economy would be the envy of the world.
Other countries would fear the threat of US Military attack.
We would have the option to make choices in almost all endeavors we faced.
But, because we have been governed by Liberals since about 1999, none of these things are true. Our country teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, our military is overstretched, our budget is wrecked, the economy is in the dumper and we have a Marxist in the White House. We're pretty much screwed.
The Liberal spending policies of Bush and Bush on steroids, the Big 0, have brought us to this dilemma.
The Democrats have not spent the way Bush and the Republicans did. Much of what appears to be current Democratic spending is simply paying for the ongoing cost of the Bush/GOP Congress.
