"Not until all the conservatives die off."
About half an hour ago when I heard these words out of the mouth of a liberal college student, I was reminded of modern liberalism being out of touch with reality.
Why did she say this? I am in a strategic management class where the professor frequently reminds us of the issues that our generation will face and what we will need to do in order to solve them (The professor, unlike many, I believe to be a moderate conservative). The girl who made this outrageous comment did so under her breath, but loud enough for me to hear, as the professor was discussing how we would solve the pressing issues of Social Security, Medicare, health care costs, and the environment.
The modern left is so far removed from reality that their only attempts at bringing real world solutions to problems are quickly repudiated, and later a "Our way or the highway" approach is taken.
Welfare reform was criticized as biased against blacks and single mothers.
No Child Left Behind was criticized as, "one of the emptiest slogans in the history of politics," by...you guessed it, liberal icon Barack Hussein Obama.
The War in Iraq, initially supported by leftist icons Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and Carl Levin, who urged then President Clinton, "to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspected Iraqi sites, to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
Romney's health care reform in Massachusetts, a great compromise idea, is not enough, as leftists continue to drive for federalized health care.
McCain has worked with democrats from Feingold to Lieberman. Bush, with Ted Kennedy. The left now wants immediate withdrawal from Iraq(not the gradual withdrawal that Hillary stood by before she realized it wasn't popular), federalized health care, and instantaneous tax hikes on the rich.
Perhaps it's time for the American left to go back to elementary school and learn about sharing and compromise. Then they can try to govern.
