Bartels is yet another socialist tome from the 1960's hippie, university mono-culture. The entire point: democracy should produce equal economic results, is wholly anti-American. If the Constitution had said that the goal of democracy was to affect equal economic outcomes throughout our society the theme of the book would have been perfectly compatible Tedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18312763508813419254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7198256.post-64415488920726028592008-07-09T15:16:00.010-07:002008-07-27T15:00:01.644-07:00"Why We Are Liberals" by Eric Alterman, Ph.DThe first question this title (by a noted Ph.D., pundit, and intellectual) brings to mind is: don't they know why they are liberals. Or, shouldn't they have thought about it before they became liberals. Or, honestly, what are they - idiots. To conservatives, liberals are, quite simply, and impolitely, people who don't think or who can't think very well.

This book is an extremely rational look at global warming that ultimately asks the reader, although not explicitly, to consider why human kind still has a pronounced, if not suicidal, collectivist, and socialistic instinct when in all of human history only American freedom has produced salutatory results.

The author concedes, quite honestly, that Republicans claimed the title and that Democrats gave it up too easily.

Joe McCarthy and the Sub-Prime CrisisWhen saintly Sen. Joe McCarthy asked witnesses if they were or ever had been associated with the Communist Party they were shocked, aghast, and horrified at such blatant, militaristic effrontery.

He is primarily associated with the concept of micro financing.

You do, though, learn a lot from looking for what should be there, but clearly is not.
