politics and poetry
by E.D. Kain on February 13, 2009
“And just as I often fret that my hopes for a right-of-center majority lie somewhere back in the wreckage of the Bush years, I think the liberaltarians ought to worry, just a little, that their moment actually arrived in the Clinton years, and that it’s already behind them – somewhere back in the vast obscurity of the political past, where the dark fields of the republic roll on under the night.”
~Ross Douthat

Indeed, and I believe that he’s right. Clinton was it (what were the so-called “New Democrats” but liberals who’d gone back to a more classical liberalism?). Scott’s post above is dead on about the stimulus bill killing any goodwill libertarians might have had for the Dems as currently constituted.
Damn it, I meant Mark’s. That’s what I get for trying to read a bunch of posts at once in different tabs (and not following most of you guys on your old sites til you started this one.)
