re: #121 Targetpractice

Can you imagine today’s Republicans going along with a program as expensive and involved as the Interstate Highway System? The Cruz’s of today would bitch and moan that that’s something the “free market” should be doing on its own.

YOU KNOW WHO ELSE HAS A FEDERAL SYSTEM OF ROADS, THE SOVIETS! But yeah, anyhow I really think it’s lame that the right thinks liberal is somehow a bad thing. Even if you don’t agree with the aims of contemporary liberalism, liberalism is arguably what established this country. Our founders were liberals in the broad sense of the word despite what right wing revisionists claim. Hell they had to be- calling for representative government not long after the age of absolute monarchy.
