Much of the 'hidden agenda' is, of course, about things like more (predominantly for business) tax cuts, further privatization (under the rubric of 'efficiency' and 'smaller government'), reduced regulation, welfare cuts - in effect, support for the <a href="http://press.princeton.edu/chapters/s5877.html" rel="nofollow">increasing inequality</a> in American society.<br /><br />What I find especially appalling is all that cant about 'liberals.' One need not be an academic historian to see that, over the past three decades, the 'right' (especially in its <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservatism" rel="nofollow">neoconservative</a> embodiment) has won all but the least significant battles.<br /><br />The 'left,' target of all that right-wing venom, has effectively been <a href="http://www.tvo.org/TVO/WebObjects/TVO.woa?videoid?741836651001" rel="nofollow">emasculated</a>, demonstrably no longer capable of countering the relentless agenda of the 'right.' All those 'liberal institutions' still so viturpated by the 'right' ('liberal' media, 'left wing' academics, 'progressive' institutions) simply serve as another target for this deflection.Madeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593933575568389288noreply@blogger.com
