Re: "Lachlan McIntosh, executive director of the South Carolina Democratic Party, says today's yellow-dog Democrats aren't the same as those reared in the segregated South." True enough.... I am encouraged by some polling results that indicate nearly as many people (third, after 'Rep.' and 'Dem.') self-identify "Libertarian" beliefs --- belief in personal freedom, smaller and less intrusive government, balanced budgets, low taxes, less foreign interventions, etc. --- as claim to identify with the policies and programs of the modern Republican or Democratic Parties. Perhaps... among the vapidness and cynicism of modern 'two Party politics', an American consensus is quietly building, all unnoticed by the media.
