Maybe you’ve heard the warning: The country is beset by a menace. A fringe conservative minority is holding Congress hostage, extracting radical policy concessions over the will of the majority. And it’s leading the nation to fiscal, environmental and moral ruin.

Maybe you haven’t heard this part: These dangerous conservatives are Democrats.

“I am talking about the radical conservatives in the Democratic Party,” said Saikat Chakrabarti. “That’s who we need to counter. It’s the same across any number of issues—pay-as-you-go, free college, “Medicare for all.” These are all enormously popular in the party, but they don’t pass because of the radical conservatives who are holding the party hostage.”


Wow, so to the Communists/Socialists, traditional Democrat Liberals are now "Radical Conservatives". Who would have thought that some of you here who identify as liberal where really "Radical Conservatives". You can't make this stuff up.

IMHO, the only hope for continued American freedom and liberty, is for Conservatives and Traditional Liberals to put aside their differences, and unite against the radical Communists/Socialists.

Dave, I agree with you. I would add that it needs to be traditional conservatives. The tea party conservatives will never compromise.

Just read that article little bit ago. We must have same news aggregator. Interesting piece. Even if you dislike the politics, you have to admire the ambition and attitude about making groundswell changes.

I thought socialism was when workers controlled the means of production? Who’s proposing that?

And I can see how paygo could be seen as radically conservative by some.

truth doesn't matter, since most people don't bother with definitions and accuracy...

funny how the right likes and embraces "socialism" when private industry screws up royally, as it did when the financial meltdown of 2007/08 happened and the nation's/world's economies were crashing...guess who the capitalists begged to bail them out..the public sector...all of us...

or when private industries go bankrupt, leaving environmental disasters...we all pay...

private industry benefits from a well-educated labor pool, provided by the public education system...which we all pay for...

ad infinitum...


but "socialism"...
