Liberalism has had front seat and first dance at all the parties and grand openings. It's been coddled, nurtured, and protected by media, legislatures, and courts. It's been a staple educational form from kindergarten thru professorship. It's been written about ten to one over other political ideals and and taken in as a stepchild by the Hollywood elite. Liberalism has imposed it's values and will on private citizens and institutions and all other aspects of life. It's dampened Christmas, Easter, and every other Christian belief or expression and it's failed? I can only guess that with such an infrastructure, base of supporters, and institutional control the only reason it's failed is because it's wrong. Sounds like 45 minutes of sour grapes to me. The democrat party can never fully embrace liberalism because in it's true form liberalism represents only a small fraction of the population. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
