"Yes. And, at the time, it was true. But, with the media asking about it at every turn, prompted by the wingnuts spinning in place over it, they are warming up to the idea." Liar, I posted a story that showed at the time you were lying. Then you ran away for a while

Morning Joe has an interesting guy on this morning whose name escapes me. He is writing a book on how the upbeat, positive conservatism of reagan and bill buckley gave way to this radical neocon group on both FP and domestic policy, particularly on tax cuts. Latter took tactics and turned them into strategies. Eg tax cuts work when they work so use them properly but dont make a religion out of them. Same with FP. He used iraq as an example of a formerly left wing ideology to promote democracty on its head into a rt wing military adventure without any programs (besides force of arms) to remake iraq into a better nation. When the wilsonian liberals said it, they ignored the realpolitik consequences. When the neocons did it, they ignored the programs necessary to even remake the one foreign nation we were trying to save. Its interesting to look at it this way. Buckley turned against the war early. Reagan and Bush 1 would never have done it for small c conservative reasons. We got a party being run by a radical band of nuts who cant see or wont admit that they failed. just look at how the four of five of them on this board post, to see what i mean. So as a moderate who sees many conservative policies i would like to embrace, i am banished by the all or nothing NO NOTHINGS., NO to everything and Nothing by tax cuts, rt wing social policy and 9/11 to offer up for policy.

CJ, > Yes. And, at the time, it was true. But, with the media asking about it at every turn, prompted by the wingnuts spinning in place over it, they are warming up to the idea. Man, you have a roundabout way of blaming "wingnuts" for the "Fairness Doctrine." How about we just talk about why liberals keep entertaining the idea in the first place? Tenchusatsu
