The Coming Collapse of Liberalism in America

Liberalism in America has been in a state of collapse ever since it was born. Most liberals just never knew it and those few who did refused to publicly acknowledge or personally accept it.

Of course, the terms “liberalism” and “liberals” would have to be defined but if modern liberalism began with FDR’s New Deal, reached its glorious fruition under LBJ’s Great Society, and achieved its nadir with BHO’s Obamacare, it would have to be judged an abject failure, as much a failure as its philosophical cousins, Marxism and socialism, which have failed repeatedly and ignominiously.

Such grand designs sometimes take a while to expire, especially when bolstered by repressive political regimes in control of obsequious media–such as in the U.S.S.R., Cuba, North Korea, et al.–but fail they do, eventually. Less competent dictators–think Latin America–come and go like tortillas at a Mexican festival. Still others are in process of failing miserably, as in Venezuela, but fail they will. They always do.

Here at home, Roosevelt’s foundational social initiative, Social Security, is on its last tottery legs, Johnson’s socialized salvation for medical care for elders, Medicare, is even worse off, and Obama’s Obamacare, though not still-born, is hopefully, thankfully, soon to be strangled in its cradle.
