That was the point of the post. The left has moved ever farther to the left and have become today what was once considered ultra liberal. I consider the democrats of today as socialists in most of their current thinking.

That is not an America I desire to see.

I don't believe there has been such a change in the right wing sector and in fact there has been some erosion. Our income tax system needs an overhaul, think we will see anything along those lines? How about the Bush tax cuts that are proving the point lower taxes raise government income. Want to speculate how the reaction to the rise in taxes our citizenry will have when the Bush cuts become sunset? That will be the biggest tax increase in the history of the United States. The stock market is at new highs and the breaking of the DOW 15,000 level could happen very shortly. In spite of the cost of the war in Iraq in terms of dollars spent we continue to reduce our deficit.

<Are you not aware that Johnson was able to pass what Kennedy couldn't in the "great society?">

Johnson was an old-time insider in the Senate and knew where all the skeletons were hidden. He had no trouble twisting arms to get his programs through.
