Its not a left/right, liberal/conservative thing. The political class has one direction. More. Government grows, rights recede, period. And of course cable news and talk radio do their best to make everyone think we're an irreconcilably divided electorate. Truth is, middle class conservatives and middle class liberals have far more in common with eachother than they do with any members of the political class. People don't want to believe that though. They'd rather be fooled by the illusion of progress whenever their team is in power. I suppose its always been that way though.
