For Jay in NC. Eerily apropos, I think, given his comment on the second post below this one. :-)
It's crazy-makin' ta think the Repugs were once the liberals! Of course, then came civil rights and letting The Other (than white men) vote and the Southern Strategy and on and on...

If Rachel can line up with Ike she doesn't quite make it into the definition of "liberal." For that you have to think Roosevelt and Adlai Stevenson.
Just goes to show that the whole country has run off the conservative cliff unless you are dividing up factions and labeling groups as gay or ethnic. Otherwise, labor law, financial regulation, and the other things that make the world spin around are just ignored. Well, except for Bernie Sanders. He is old enough to know what a Democrat is supposed to be and what liberal thought actually is.
Oh, yeah... Repubs were NEVER liberals and that includes old dozy Ike. Ah, I guess I have to make a half-way exception for Teddy Roosevelt... forgot about him for a moment.
