Both the agendas and the methods of the politically committed of both major parties have moved toward extremes over the years.
Each of us defines what is objectionable, here as elsewhere, in his own way.
This is my way.
The dominant conservatism.
Actual conservatives, for some decades in control of the Republican Party, have long seriously meant to repeal The Great Society, The New Deal, and every progressive construction since McKinley.
They oppose direct election of the president and favor repeal of popular election of senators.
They oppose institutions, laws, and regulatory controls and measures aimed at protecting workers, consumers, and the public from employers, producers, and economic powers.
They oppose the dismantling, over the decades and beginning in the mid-20th Century, of clerical power over American law as it concerns marriage as well as private and public conduct related to sex.
They would, if they could, restore the
status quo ante,
including re-criminalization of sexual immorality and pornography as they were defined and prohibited in American law through the 1950s and again making divorce very difficult if not totally impossible.
They favor measures to cripple the federal government by starving it through debt ceilings, elimination of the IRS, massive tax cuts, and opposition to deficit spending.
Some of them would, if they could, deport some 11 million illegal immigrants in a vast exercise in ethnic cleansing.
The dominant liberalism.
Liberals are responsible for a continuing malignant growth, originating in the mid-20th Century, of federal control over American economic and educational institutions, private and public, and increasingly over state and local machinery of law enforcement, in service to the PC agendas of radical environmentalists, feminists, sexual minorities, and so-called racial and social justice warriors.
Liberals indulge, support, and participate in the propaganda, policy, legislative, and demographic wars against whites, males, and white males, including the project to end the majority status of eurowhites in America.
Liberals support a radical environmentalism extremely harmful to the American economy and beneficial to our economic and military competitors, globally.
In particular, in connection with global warming they support a congeries of measures that, while useless to prevent it, would impose great costs on American businesses, consumers, and taxpayers to the advantage of foreigners and especially the world's leading greenhouse gas producers, the Chinese, who openly intend to actually increase their own pollution.
Liberals support empowerment of governmental, supra-national, and global institutions without democratic legitimacy and aimed at achieving liberal/radical goals or enforcing liberal/radical agendas.
Liberals support censorship and indoctrination by PC bureaucracies and the actions and agendas of PC thugs and mobs in our streets and our schools.
Liberals support groups and individuals who support weaponized history and guilt-trip politics targeting eurowhites, Western Civilization, and their friends and defenders.
Liberals support, ally with, and are supported by anti-capitalists including socialists, anarchists, and communists, as well as others openly committed to anti-Americanism.
Liberals support unrestricted abortion at will throughout pregnancy, and some openly support infanticide.
Children of Zinn, steeped in the weaponized history of the left wing grievance industry, liberals are anti-American and unpatriotic, wholly unable to happily celebrate the birth of our country or any of its several patriotic holidays.
