Is Modern Liberalism facing complete disaster in our time?

Normal people have long known that Modern Liberalism - with its constant litany of taking from the rich to pay the poor, its chronic overspending and demands for ever more taxes, and a massive central government expanding into every corner of people's formerly-private lives - is unsustainable. But "unsustainable" means, in fact, that the end must eventually come.

And the end of liberalism might be a lot closer than anyone dared hope.

Is that why liberal hysteria has been rising to a shrill crescendo ever since the election of Barack Obama, the most socialist-left Congress in history, and a veto-proof Senate... the latter two of which they have already lost?

Modern liberalism was started in the U.S. in the 1920s and 1930s, with Hoover's tinkering with the economy and FDR's two New Deals. Will it finally be relegated to the ash heap of history in the 2010's, with small government, personal responsibility and private charity returning to the fore at last?

What Liberals Fear More Than Obama Losing

by Geoffrey P. Hunt
August 30, 2011

The left are now wringing their hands fearing their agenda is overripe, blaming everyone else for their own spoiled pickling. While Obama's sinking prospects for re-election are disquieting, the real source of liberals' despair is their sudden, unexpected realization that the progressive agenda is dead in its tracks and will likely be in full retreat after 2012.

Obama is finished, but the demise of their identity politician is neither the main event nor surprising. He was a lame duck after he returned from Copenhagen empty handed in September 2009, expecting the mere presence of his electro-magnetic glow would secure the 2016 summer Olympics for Chicago.

He cannot claim a single success. His resume is a bibliography of failure. His signature achievement, the dubious namesake ObamaCare, was designed by someone else. Its central feature, the individual insurance mandate, is destined to be overturned by the Supreme Court.

We will have our fill of post mortems, ad nauseam, about how The One broke their hearts; his considerable skills, now considered overrated, were just no match for the enormity of the clean- up needed after Bush's mess; a victim of his opponents' entrenched racism.

Obama was only a convenient vessel, a mere tool. But enough about Obama; even the Congressional Black Caucus is ready to Move On.

The end of the Progressive Era, eclipsing Obama, has come from two places -- one fiscal and pragmatic, the other ideological and visceral. First, the debt crisis and persistent economic woes have made it clear that the progressive agenda is unaffordable and unsustainable. The money pumps in the forms of more borrowing and taxes cannot possibly keep up with the tons of green water spending coming aboard.

Second, beyond the limited government ideology now gaining real traction, Americans without an ideology are finding that central planning madness from Washington is making their lives worse, not better.

The tipping point provoking the libs' worst nightmare was contained in Rick Perry's speech announcing his candidacy to be the Republican nominee for president. Perry proclaimed his mission was not to make government more accountable, effective, or efficient -- that's standard issue bromide from populist reformers.

No, Perry was bold enough, and as his critics will assert reckless, to suggest government should be irrelevant -- his words "as inconsequential to your lives as possible." This may be the most radical anti-government posture since Calvin Coolidge, leaning on the likes of Lord Acton:

"There are many things the government can't do, many good purposes it must renounce. It must leave them to the enterprise of others. It cannot feed the people. It cannot enrich the people. It cannot teach the people."

The liberal press are frightened out of their wits. Whether Perry is an authentic purebred limited government advocate may be debatable. No matter, he's close enough.

Perry's credibility as a governor, his disdain for Washington, his unapologetic and outspoken defense of conservative principles, his jobs and business climate record, all despite occasional lapses and rhetorical excesses -- in short his popularity and substance overcoming his defects -- make him the candidate the Dems fear most. Perry, more ruthless, pragmatic, and plain spoken than any of his rivals is the most likely to lead the coming dismantling of the federal government monstrosity.

On the other hand, all of the AAA rated countries in the world have universal health care, strong safety nets, and strong economies.

America, on the other hand, just tied with Qatar for infant mortality rate.

Essay writers can write all they want to; the truth is in the pudding. Look around you. America is in a mess over stupid stuff and the rest of the world is passing us by. That has nothing to do with our debt and all to do with our inability to function as a political body. Republican obstructionism is killing us.
 
the only thing the left is mad at Obama for is caving and doing more republican crap then plans Liberals voted him in for.
Right on the money, pfos.

Obama's community organizer skills have won some good ground for us, but his unwillingness to let America be destroyed just so Republican TEA Partiers can learn the hard way that "their way or no way" is a terrible political strategy has been an abrasive lesson for us to watch.
 
Oprah Winfrey,Donohue,Sally Jessy Raphael and Joan Rivers shows are Modern Liberalism. Every one of these people in their audience when they become jurors the justice system gets screwed. Just like how many times you see guest boo hooing crying on the hosts shoulders and they pat them on the head and say Awwww.. and the audience says AWWWWW!!! Now you see someone on the witness stand crying and the jurors feel sorry for him or her and they get Adquitted on an not guilty verdict. Thats what Modern Liberalism is doing to the justice system. You didnt have that crap 150 years ago cause if Modern Liberalism was back 150 years ago then Mary Suratt wouldnt got Hanged and she would walked out a free woman.

Yes, shame on those women. Rather than yelling to audiences, they should go home and be subservient to their husbands, like Michele Bachmann is doing.
 
To no one's surprise, the usual leftist fanatics ignore the oncoming express train and keep assuring each other that there will always be plenty of Other People's Money for them to take, to maintain their unsustainable programs.

Keep up the good work, lefties. It ensures that when the collision comes, even more of you will be destroyed, than if some of you had noticed what is going on. And that can only be good for the country.

:D

Please note that it is the rest of the world, the AAA rated countries , who are doing well. Its not the US, Qatar, and the other second tier countries who believe the answer to every problem is to give more money and power to the already rich and powerful.

Its the AAA rated countries who take care of their citizens, take care of their environment, take care of their children and their education, and take care of their businesses who are doing well.

Isn't that a pretty clear sign to you that America's slippage of the past 10 years is pretty dramatic and pretty awful? Are you happy to see your Republican policies turn us from where we were in the 1990s to where we are today?

And on top of all that, you are convinced that you need to visit more damage on us with horrible policies that you have watched fail disgracefully.

Why? What have you got against us? Why do you hate America?

sometimes its sucks when they put the nation first...:)

Is modern liberalism facing complete disaster? YES! And, it can't happen too soon.

Modern liberalism has already faced complete disaster. That disaster is called Republican policies.

Thank goodness those days are about over. The TEA Party has become the single most despised group in America; below Muslims, illegal aliens, Congressmen, lawyers, and mimes. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/17/opinion/crashing-the-tea-party.html?_r=1&ref=teapartymovement

In 16 months we can get back to being a great nation again. I am embarrassed to be on an equal footing with Qatar. We can be better than that.
