The counterrevolution is over. For 40 years the radical right
has sought to uproot and overturn the American domestic and global
order created by centrist liberals of both parties between the
1930s and the 1970s. Liberalism has survived, while the right is
not only defeated but also demoralized, dispersed and
diminishing.
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are H. L. Hunt (you possibly know his background), a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." --Dwight D. Eisenhower http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/06/10/liberals/
