Let's play deconstruct the Nadin claims:
The country is not conservative. The elites are. The elites used to understand that you have to give something to the people from time to time...they are really are not. In fact, they are taking away fundamental rights. So 2014...the ones to blame will be the elites, in particular the party elite of the Democratic Party who has chosen to turn a blind eye to these concerns.
Actually, what the country is a complex amalgam of opposing philosophies and beliefs. No, not all the elites are conservative. If they were you wouldn't have folks like Soros supporting Bill de Blasio- and he's certainly not singular.
Both parties are woefully corporate, but those who can't distinguish between the two, aren't looking. For all it's corporate ties, if the SCOTUS had more Justices appointed by dems, the VRA wouldn't have been dismantled and the CU decision would have been different.
You traffic in broad, almost invariably error ridden generalizations. You don't post links to back up your spurious claims.
I think of you as DU's very own Madame Malaprop.
