And here's from LTRadio.blogspot.com on Nicole Sandler
My comments:
Contractual issues?! I don't know man, that kinda sounds BOGUS, but whatever, maybe it is.
And Imus! Oh you buttwipes at CC! RIGHTWING TURDS TO THE BITTER END!
Guess Bill Press's syndication fee is just SO much more!? Well, I guess now with Imus on WINZ, they can STOP calling themselves SOUTH FLORIDA'S PROGRESSIVE TALK!
_______________________________Sandler out at WINZ
A major shakeup occurred late last week at progressive talker WINZ in Miami, as morning host Nicole Sandler has left the station due to contractual issues.
Sandler has hosted the show solo since September 2007 and produced and co-hosted the show alongside Jim DeFede in 2006-07. She also served as Promotion Director at the station.
The departure is a bit surprising, as Sandler's ratings have been very good. In the most recent Arbitron ratings survey, WINZ's morning show topped conservative talk rival WIOD in the same time slot among the core talk radio demographic of men 25-54, and just a tenth of a point behind them 25-54 overall, 1.3-1.4.
Sandler is currently shopping for a new job. And judging from the emails sent to yours truly, her fans aren't too happy. WINZ has picked up ABC Radio Networks' Don Imus to replace Sandler.
Meanwhile, Sandler's predecessor DeFede has apparently left his most recent afternoon gig at WFTL in Ft. Lauderdale. "Unfortunately I never meshed with the rest of the station so rather than continue working there, I asked them to buy me out of the remaining 14 months of my contract," said DeFede. "We were able to reach a deal this week and my time at WFTL is now over."
This deserves reposting re: Nicole Sandler
Greetings Progressive Democrats of Florida!
Dear PDA members:
As we write, we hope all of you and your loved ones are well, and safe. If you suffered as a result of T.S. Fay please send us a note, we will try to get you help with what we can.
You have received several messages from PDA National and we want to limit our mailings so as not to flood your mailboxes. Therefore today we have tried to include a number of items in one piece.
Miramar, Broward County, Florida. (Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area.)

IT'S OFFICIAL! Nicole Sandler GONE from WINZ!
http://www.940winz.com/main.html has replaced her on their schedule with Don Anus!
Chalk this up as: Clear Channel Fuck Up #984,622!
Chalk this up as: Clear Channel Fuck Up #984,622!
ANALyzing time, with yours truly!
So who wants to start up a betting poll of how Clear Channel, as well as the rest of the terrestrial radio scum and vermin, do at least half a dozen MORE assaults on LIBERAL TALK RADIO before Election Day, which is Tuesday, Nov. 4th, DO NOT LET THEM TAKE THIS RIGHT AWAY TOO! GET OUT AND VOTE! Anyways, I'm willing to even go double or nothing with this here PENNY--ok, so I'm not exactly a BIG SPENDER...fine, make it 50 cent!--that JUST CLEAR CHANNEL ALONE fucks up another DOZEN TIMES before Nov. 4th! Why would I "dare" to say such things?! Remember 2004?! Take your time, slowly put your iFoney DOOOOWN...
Time for a REVIEW:
1) Howard Stern Show -- fired from 6 CC stations (Miami, Orlando, Louisville KY, San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Rochester NY) in Feb. 2004, right after Janet's Boob Gate *GASP* MOMMY! A NIPPLE!!! Grow THE FUCK UP America...
2) Bubba The Love Sponge -- fired from ALL his stations, all of which were CC owned (Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Ft. Myers & West Palm Beach--maybe a few others, not exactly sure) again, in Feb. 2004. Bubba and crew were OUT OF WORK FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS, UNTIL HOWARD STERN GOT HIM HIRED TO SIRIUS! Bubba was #1 i Tampa, #1 in Ft. Myers, ALMOST #1 in Jacksonville, did well in Orlando and did not-so-well in West Palm! However, Bubba MADE CC MONNNNNNNEY! Like how Bubba is NOW on 102.5 WHTP "The Bone" in Tampa, oh and 98 Rock is IN THE SHITTER! (See a few posts below for where all Bubba is on the air currently.)
3) Neil Rogers on 560 WQAM Miami -- censored after Janet-Booby-Gate by Beasley Broadcasting, no longer can say "Goddamn", "Asshole", "Douche-Bag", and other "BAD WORDS" he'd only been saying on the air for 2 DECADES!
4) Howard Stern dumped from other non-CC stations before 2004 election, markets including Harrisburg/York PA, Providence RI, Grand Rapids MI, MIAMI--FROM WQAM!, Syracuse NY,Fall River MA, Lexington KY, Ft. Myers/Naples FL., Columbus OH and Las Vegas! After the CC cluster-fuck in Feb. '04, which was CLEARLY LINKED to Howard reversing his position on THE IRAQ WAR (which CC just LOOOOOVES and DROOLS OVER) after he read Al Franken's book "LIES AND THE LYING LIARS WHO TELL THEM"!!! Coincidences?! NOT!
We have the historical evidence. Watch for the SHIT to HIT THE FAN soon to progressive talk radio.

WHAT THE HELL! Nicole Sandler replaced by IMUS on WINZ?!?!?!
Holy fucking batshit! Clear Channel AGAIN proves they are THE ENEMY, rightwing RETARDS TO THE BITTER END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And oxyRU$Hitler Lardass all but BURNS CROSSES on the air for the last 2 weeks, so, he got fired too right?! No, you say?! ZIG HEIL TO CRAP CHANNEL Y'ALL!!!!!!!!! How long until WINZ dumps ALL it's liberal talk?! Nicole was beating out WIOD--the Miami KKKon yakker that NO ONE listens to since they went Con! I guess that rubs the Mays family the WRONG way, having a liberal voice make it, while NO ONE is listening to Blimpo and his 900 clones. Also while they help enable shitheads who are plotting WORLD DESTRUCTION get away with MURDER. Also, remember about 8 years ago, before Air America, before Nova M, Randi Rhodes was simulcasted to WINZ from 2000 until...ONE WEEK AFTER 9/11 when WINZ flipped to a sports format that FUCKING NO ONE listened to! Smell that?! That's a rat...A BIG HUGE ONE.

Biden heh?!
I'm (so far!) kinda ambivalent on Biden. Pro: he's GOT experience! Con: Delaware is already a BLUE state! Pro: He is one hell of an attack dog, McCain's weaknesses he knows! Also, he went through seriously horrid shit with his first wife DYING in a car wreck; he rode AMTRAK back to Wilmington, DE, from Washington, DC, EVERY DAY, TO RAISE HIS FAMILY. STOP, HOLD ON A SECOND, I THOUGHT THE REPUKELICONS HAD THE MONOPOLY ON 'FAMILY VALUES'?!?! LIKE, McKKKAIN DUMPING HIS FIRST WIFE, WHO WAS DISFIGURED IN A CAR ACCIDENT, FOR CINDY THE RICH BITCH!!! Con: Does anyone outside of Delaware KNOW WHO JOE BIDEN IS?! Ok, plenty more than Tim whatever his face is, the Virgina gov'r! Still beats 4 years of McKKKain and whatever shithead Nazi he picks!!! DailyKos.com & Rude Pundit also makes some good points, some of which I've already cannibalized! 8/23/2008
Clinton supporters have nothing to complain about in Biden nomination
by smintheus
Sat Aug 23, 2008 at 02:05:15 PM PDT
Last November, as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clinton said that she'd be happy to have Joe Biden as her running mate.
I would consider Joe Biden for anything," Clinton said. "He's a friend of mine, he's a wonderful senator. I'm one of Joe's biggest fans."
Today Clinton praised Barack Obama's VP choice, saying Biden is "an exceptionally strong, experienced leader and devoted public servant". If there's any sense at all in political debate in this country, the nomination of Biden ought to put an end effectively to complaints that Obama is short on experience. It's the only consistent criticism of Obama that I've heard this year from truly persuadable voters.
Biden's nomination also will make it difficult for Clinton's supporters to feel aggrieved that she wasn't chosen instead. All along her candidacy was based on claims of (a) experience, and (b) expertise. Joe Biden has more of both than Hillary Clinton does, as even her more ardent supporters would have to admit. If you believe that the choice of a vice president should just be a question of merit, as many Clinton supporters have been arguing, then the selection of Joe Biden is highly merited.
That won't preclude a few PUMAs from continuing to nurse their grudges. Extremists aren't amenable to reason. But Biden's nomination will show their complaints to be ridiculous, in the extreme.
A Word or Two Regarding Joe Biden:
Still in an ouzo haze (thanks, Talia), but here's a couple of observations from when the phone vibrated at 3 a.m.:
1. Biden's son is heading to Iraq. That's the kind of political street cred it takes something like five and a half years in a prison camp to earn.
2. Biden is a tough motherfucker. God tried to take him out with a double brain aneurysm, and Biden kicked God in the nuts. Don't you want a Vice President who can kick God in the nuts and not be allied with Satan?
3. Ron Fournier of the AP is a little bitch. Biden must have pissed him off somewhere down the road.
4. Yeah, he ain't perfect (see the Clarence Thomas hearings and his anti-Obama comments that are already being used against him). But if you're complaining, would you seriously have wanted the media talking about the tension between Obama and Clinton(s) for the next four to eight years? And would you have wanted to explain to every non-Virginian just who the fuck Tim Kaine is?
(An earlier version of this post said that Biden had brain cancer. It has been corrected to accurately reflect exactly how hard God tried to smite him. God's still gotta put an icepack on his balls whenever he thinks about Biden.)

Stuff
One of the GREATEST and most diarrheal-inducing rePublicliTARD HYPOCRISIES has got to be how the GOP (Gangly Old Perverts!) completely HATE government...MEANWHILE, THEY HAVE NO FUCKING PROBLEM WORKING IN GOVERNMENT, PAID FOR BY *OUR* TAX DOLLARS! This is CLEARLY an open-and-shut case! If your ass has an "R" after it, and you work in ANY capacity for the government (reminder: OF, FOR, AND BY...say it...say it you moron rightwing dipshits...WE THE PEOPLE!), stop what you are doing, resign your post, AND GET A GODDAMN PRIVATE SECTOR JOB!!!!!!!!

SOME THINGS SHOULD NOT BE DONE IN THE FUCKING NAME OF THE "ALMIGHTY DOLLAR"! Until a majority of Americans WHO GET UP OFF THEIR ASS get this very cut and dried IN-YOUR-FACIAL concept, then you better not expect ANY shit to work worth 2 shits and a fuck!
Some people say I'm cynical!!!!!!!!! Poor misguided fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever fucking happened to all the OUTSTANDING old-school Anarchy sites?!?!!?
Most of the really good shit you can find at this AMAZING site, and I do not say that lightly: TextFiles.com just so ya know. Now go draw something sexual on your school bathroom's walls with your laundry marker!
And someone tell Obama to just fucking announce his damn VP choice already! Dude, if you're trying to hype this up, uh, it ain't happenin'...I say pick Wesley Snippes...goddamn! Could you imagine! Blimpo oxyRU$Hitler would have a fucking stroke!!! IF ONLY!!!!!!!!!

FUCK YOU Clear Channel for keeping this NAZI prick troglodyte on the air. And DOULBE fuck you for NOT syndicating Randi Rhodes (she had to pretty much do it on her own!), fuck you for firing Bubba the Love Sponge, fuck you for at the same time of dumping Bubba you dumped Howard Stern from 6 stations JUST CUZ IT WAS AFTER JANET JACKSON SHOWED 1/10th A SECOND OF NIPPLE, AND YOU COULDN'T MAN-UP AND SAY "GO TO HELL" TO THE FUCKING FCC, YOU FASCIST SCUMBAG ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goddamnit, why can't dead people be brought back to life, cuz if EVER there was a time in the history of this planet that we NEEDED truth-to-power-speakers like Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Terence McKenna, Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, John Lennon, Johnny Cash, and on and on, NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!!

Audio and more from Media Matters:
On the August 19 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh said that "it is striking how unqualified [Sen. Barack] Obama is and, and how this whole thing came about with, within the Democrat [sic] Party. I think it really goes back to the fact that nobody had the guts to stand up and say no to a black guy." Limbaugh went on to say: "I think this is a classic illustration here where affirmative action has reared its ugly head against them. It's the reverse of it. They've, they've ended up nominating and placing at the top of their ticket somebody who's not qualified, who has not earned it." Limbaugh added: "It's perfect affirmative action. And because of all this guilt and the historic nature of things, nobody had the guts to say, well, wait a minute, do we really want to do this?" Read on…
Yes, someone should have told this young, uppity negro to STFU and know his place in American society. You knew he was a baby killer, right?
Rush is a racist pig, we all know that. We knew long ago that the Republicans weren't going to go down without a fight and that this election cycle was going to yield some of the ugliest politics in modern history — this is what it looks like. The stench of desperation makes this even more pathetic, as Limbaugh and the party he so diligently carries water for, take their nose dive into the political dustbin.

My email to that SCUMBAG Jerry Della Femina
Dear Jerry,
You are truly a ROYAL ASSHOLE REICHWING NAZI and should be anally impailed on Satan's freshly sharpened pitchfork.
ONE'S PRIVATE SEX LIFE ***WITH CONSENTING ADULTS*** HAS GODDAMN NOTHING TO FUCKING DO WITH RUNNING A GOVERNMENT OF FOR AND BY WE THE FUCKING PEOPLE FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!! WHERE was the VENOM like this spewed out when it came to Larry Craig trying to get some in a public bathroom?! Where was this type of outrage OVER MARK FOLEY TRYING TO FUCK 16 YEAR OLDS?!?!?! You rightwing trolls ALWAYS protects your own even if they were to rape a donkey on live TV while wearing a sandpaper condom.
You were an ambulance-chasing lawyer who hit it big getting your Southern hick clients to sue large corporations, hospitals and doctors for damages – some real, some imagined.
As a Southerner AND PROUD LIBERAL, your "Southern Hicks" line is EXTREMELY INSULTING, you dumb YANKEE YUPPIE! How you like THAT?!
And where is your PROOF (something you wingnut slime NEVER have) that his cases were SOME IMAGINED?! The burden of PROOF is the ball that is now in YOUR court pally. Sounds SLANDEROUS TO ME.
You got goober juries from your home state to award hundreds of millions of dollars in damages and you took your cut and became a rich man. Between the insurance companies and the hundreds of millions that you and your greedy band of trial lawyers sucked out of doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, the world's greatest medical system has been crippled.
Oh blow it out your ass. Here we go AGAIN, "goober juries", as if EVERYONE born south of the Mason-Dixon line has a brother & sister for their parents. Well buddy, PENNSYLVANIA has THE HIGHEST rate of INCEST in the COUNTRY, and last time I CHECKED, that's a NORTHERN STATE, asshole. "The world's greatest medical system"?! ARE YOU HIGH ON METH!?!?! More like the world's greatest system of RIPPING PEOPLE OFF since it's a FOR PROFIT system, and since your ignorant Con ass has no clue about THE COMMONS and why SOME THINGS should NOT be done FOR PROFIT, you miss it AGAIN. Hey Jerry, how do you like our nation's SOCIALIZED FIRE DEPARTMENTS, POLICE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ROADS, etc.!? Socialized medicine WORKS in the 36 OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS ON THIS PLANET, AND IT COULD WORK HERE FOR ALL, IF SELFISH ASSHOLES LIKE YOU WOULD STOP DRINKING THE AYNN RAND KOOL AID.
And how many $400 haircuts have REPUBLICANS had?! I'm sure you wouldn't report that being a good little goose-stepper.
You ran for Vice President in 2004 and you thought that someday you were going to be President and it all went into the dumpster the minute you got caught having an affair with Rielle Hunter, a woman who looks like the winner of the Camilla Parker Bowles look-alike contest.
Now you are resorting to personal attacks on Rielle Hunter! How classy of you! Got any SUBSTANCE, other than the drugs your snorting?!
Yes, some married people – and a lot of married politicians – have extramarital affairs. But there will always be a special place reserved in hell for a man who has an affair while his wife is counting her last days on earth – the victim of an incurable cancer.
Again, this is a PRIVATE matter between John and Elizabeth, you idiot you. Grow up. Do you have PENIS-ENVY or something?! Are you gay for John Edwards?!
Sadly you're not the only one. Washington is full of scum of every political persuasion and no one will ever forget how Newt Gingrich told his wife he wanted a divorce while she was in a hospital still woozy from cancer surgery.
OH WOW! You broke the 11th Commandment of bashing a fellow KKKon!
You're all alone, baby. Stay away from the convention. You'll be as welcome as Eliot Spitzer. If you have the balls to show up you'll find the politicians who yesterday would have rushed to press your hand will slide away from you as though you have the plague. You have the stink of a loser.
Now it's back to bashing ANOTHER Democrat for A PRIVATE AFFAIR THAT HAD GODDAMN NOTHING TO DO WITH RUNNING A GOVERNMENT. YOU sir are THE LOSER! You are the reason why American's don't GET the real issues that affect them and how KKKonservatives like your nasty ass can keep lying, stealing and cheating the American public out of REAL DEMOCRACY, SHAME ON YOU. And GROW UP.
You are truly a ROYAL ASSHOLE REICHWING NAZI and should be anally impailed on Satan's freshly sharpened pitchfork.

The Plot Against Liberal America
by Thomas Frank
August 17, 2008
The most cherished dream of conservative Washington is that
liberalism can somehow be defeated, finally and irreversibly, in the
way that armies are beaten and pests are exterminated. Electoral
victories by Republicans are just part of the story. The larger
vision is of a future in which liberalism is physically barred from
the control room - of an "end of history" in which taxes and onerous
regulation will never be allowed to threaten the fortunes private
individuals make for themselves. This is the longing behind the
former White House aide Karl Rove's talk of "permanent majority"
and, 20 years previously, disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff's
declaration to the Republican convention that it's "the job of all
revolutions to make permanent their gains".
When I first moved to contemplate this peculiar utopian vision, I
was struck by its apparent futility. What I did not understand was
that beating liberal ideas was not the goal. The Washington
conservatives aim to make liberalism irrelevant not by debating, but
by erasing it. Building a majority coalition has always been a part
of the programme, and conservatives have enjoyed remarkable success
at it for more than 30 years. But winning elections was not a bid
for permanence by itself. It was only a means.
The end was capturing the state, and using it to destroy liberalism
as a practical alternative. The pattern was set by Margaret
Thatcher, who used state power of the heaviest-handed sort to
implant permanently the anti-state ideology.
"Economics are the method; the object is to change the soul," she
said, echoing Stalin. In the 34 years before she became prime
minister, Britain rode a see-saw of nationalisation, privatisation
and renationalisation; Thatcher set out to end the game for good.
Her plan for privatising council housing was designed not only to
enthrone the market, but to encourage an ownership mentality
and "change the soul" of an entire class of voters. When she sold
off nationally owned industries, she took steps to ensure that
workers received shares at below-market rates, leading hopefully to
the same soul transformation. Her brutal suppression of the miners'
strike in 1984 showed what now awaited those who resisted the new
order. As a Business Week reporter summarised it in 1987: "She sees
her mission as nothing less than eradicating Labour Party socialism
as a political alternative."
In their own pursuit of the free-market utopia, America's right-
wingers did not have as far to travel as their British cousins, and
they have never needed to use their state power so ruthlessly. But
the pattern is the same: scatter the left's constituencies, hack
open the liberal state and reward friendly businesses with the loot.
Grover Norquist, one of the most influential conservatives in
Washington and the "field marshal of the Bush plan", according to
the Nation magazine, has been most blunt about using the power of
the state "to crush the structures of the left". He has outlined the
plan countless times in countless venues: the liberal movement is
supported by a number of "pillars", each of which can be toppled by
conservatives when in power. Among Norquist's suggestions has been
the undermining of defence lawyers - who in the US give millions of
dollars to liberal causes - with measures "potentially costing
[them] billions of dollars of lost income". Conservatives could
also "crush labour unions as a political entity" by forcing unions
to get annual written approval from every member before spending
union funds on political activities. His coup de grâce is that the
Democratic Party in its entirety would become "a dead man walking"
with the privatisation of social security.
Much of this programme has already been accomplished, if not on the
precise terms Norquist suggested. The shimmering dream of
privatising social security, though, remains the great unreachable
right-wing prize, and the right persists in the campaign, regardless
of the measure's unpopularity or the number of political careers it
costs. President Bush announced privatisation to be his top priority
on the day after his re-election in 2004, although he had not
emphasised this issue during the campaign. He proceeded to chase it
deep into the land of political unpopularity, a region from which he
never really returned.
He did this because the potential rewards of privatising social
security justify any political cost. At one stroke, it would both de-
fund the operations of government and utterly reconfigure the way
Americans interact with the state. It would be irreversible, too;
the "transition costs" in any scheme to convert social security are
so vast that no country can consider incurring them twice. Once the
deal has been done and the trillions of dollars that pass through
social security have been diverted from the US Treasury to stocks in
private companies, the effects would be locked in for good. First,
there would be an immediate flood of money into Wall Street; second,
there would be an equivalent flow of money out of government
accounts, immediately propelling the federal deficit up into the
stratosphere and de-funding a huge part of the federal activity.
Business elites
The overall effect for the nation's politics would be to elevate for
ever the rationale of the financial markets over such vague
liberalisms as "the common good" and "the public interest". The
practical results of such a titanic redirection of the state are
easy to predict, given the persistent political demands of Wall
Street: low wage growth, even weaker labour organisations, a free
hand for management in downsizing, in polluting, and so on.
The longing for permanent victory over liberalism is not unique to
the west. In country after country, business elites have come up
with ingenious ways to limit the public's political choices. One of
the most effective of these has been massive public debt. Naomi
Klein has pointed out, in case after case, that the burden of debt
has forced democratic countries to accept a laissez-faire system
that they find deeply distasteful. Regardless of who borrowed the
money, these debts must be repaid - and repaying them, in turn,
means that a nation must agree to restructure its economy the way
bankers bid: by deregulating, privatising and cutting spending.
Republicans have ridden to power again and again promising balanced
budgets - government debt was "mortgaging our future", Ronald Reagan
admonished in his inaugural address - but once in office they
proceed, with a combination of tax cuts and spending increases, to
inflate the federal deficit to levels far beyond those reached by
their supposedly open-handed liberal rivals. The formal
justification is one of the all-time great hoaxes. By cutting taxes,
it is said, you will unleash such economic growth that federal
revenues will actually increase, so all the additional government
spending will be paid for.
Even the theory's proponents don't really believe it. David
Stockman, the libertarian budget director of the first Reagan
administration, did the maths in 1980 and realised it would not
rescue the government; it would wreck the government. This is the
point where most people would walk away. Instead, Stockman decided
it had medicinal value. He realised that with their government
brought to the brink of fiscal collapse, the liberals would either
have to acquiesce in the reconfiguration of the state or else see
the country destroyed. Stockman was candid about this: the left
would "have to dismantle [the government's] bloated, wasteful, and
unjust spending enterprises - or risk national ruin".
This is government-by-sabotage: deficits were a way to smash a
liberal state. The Reagan deficits did precisely this. When Reagan
took over in 1981, he inherited an annual deficit of $59bn and a
national debt of $914bn; by the time he and his successor George
Bush had finished their work, they had quintupled the deficit and
pumped the debt up to more than $3trn. Bill Clinton called the
deficit "Stockman's Revenge" - and it domin ated all other topics
within his administration's economic teams. With the chairman of the
Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan himself speaking of "financial
catastrophe" unless steps were taken to control Reagan's deficit,
Clinton was soon a convert. He got tough with the federal workforce.
So-called virtues
George W Bush proceeded to plunge the budget into deficit again.
Indeed, after seeing how the Reagan deficit had forced Clinton's
hand, it would have been foolish for a conservative not to spend his
way back into the hole as rapidly as possible. "It's perfectly fine
for them to waste money," says Robert Reich, a former labour
secretary to Bill Clinton, summarising the conservative
viewpoint. "If the public thinks government is wasteful, that's
fine. That reduces public faith in government, which is precisely
what the Republicans want."
In 1964, the political theorist James Burnham diagnosed liberalism
as "the ideology of western suicide". What Burnham meant by this was
that liberalism's so-called virtues - its openness and its
insistence on equal rights for everyone - made it vulnerable to any
party that refuses to play by the rules. The "suicide" that all of
this was meant to describe was liberalism's inevitable destruction
at the hands of communism, a movement in whose ranks Burnham had
once marched himself. But his theory seems more accurately to
describe the stratagems of its fans on the American right. And the
correct term for the disasters that have disabled the liberal state
is not suicide, but vandalism. Loot the Treasury, dynamite the dam,
take a crowbar to the monument and throw a wrench into the gears.
Slam the locomotive into reverse, toss something heavy on the
throttle, and jump for it.
Mainstream American political commentary customarily assumes that
the two political parties do whatever they do as mirror images of
each other; that if one is guilty of some misstep, the other is
equally culpable. But there is no symmetry. Liberalism, as we know
it, arose out of a compromise between left-wing social movements and
business interests. It depends on the efficient functioning of
certain organs of the state; it does not call for all-out war on
private industry.
Conservatism, on the other hand, speaks not of compromise, but of
removing its adversaries from the field altogether. While no one
dreams of sawing off those branches of the state that protect
conservatism's constituents - the military, the police, legal
privileges granted to corporations - conservatives openly fantasise
about doing away with the bits of "big government" that serve
liberal ends. While de-funding the left is the north star of the
conservative project, there is no comparable campaign to "de-fund
the right"; indeed, it would be difficult to imagine one.
"Over the past 30 years, American politics has become more money-
centred at exactly the same time that American society has grown
more unequal," the political scientists Jacob Hacker and Paul
Pierson have written. The resources and organisational heft of the
well-off and hyper-conservative have exploded. But the org
anisational resources of middle-income Amer icans . . . have
atrophied. The resulting inequality has greatly benefited the
Republican Party while drawing it closer to its most affluent and
extreme supporters."
In this sense, conservative Washington is a botch that keeps on
working, constructing an imbalance that will tilt our politics
rightward for years, a plutocracy that will stand, regardless of who
wins the next few elections. And as American inequality widens, the
clout of money will only grow more powerful.
As I write this, the lobbyist-fuelled conservative boom of the past
ten years is being supplanted by a distinct conservative bust: like
the real-estate speculators who are dumping properties all over the
country, conservative senators and representatives are heading for
the revolving door in record numbers.
Plutocracy
The Democrats who have taken their place are an improvement,
certainly, but for the party's more entrepreneurial leaders
electoral success in 2006 was merely an opportunity to accelerate
their own courtship of Washington's lobbyists, think-tanks and
pressure groups staked out on K Street. Democratic leaders have
proved themselves the Republicans' equals in circumvention of
campaign finance laws.
Throwing the rascals out is no longer enough. The problem is
structural; it is inscribed on the map; it glows from the
illuminated logos on the contractors' office buildings; it is built
into the systems of governance themselves. A friend of mine
summarised this concisely as we were lunching in one of those
restaurants where the suits and the soldiers get together. Sweeping
his hand so as to take in our fellow diners and all the contractors'
offices beyond, he said, "So you think all of this is just going to
go away if Obama gets in?" This whole economy, all these profits?
He's right, of course; maybe even righter than he realised. It would
be nice if electing Democrats was all that was required to
resuscitate the America that the right flattened, but it will take
far more than that. A century ago, an epidemic of public theft
persisted, despite a long string of reformers in the White House,
Republicans and Democrats, each promising to clean the place up.
Nothing worked, and for this simple reason: democracy cannot work
when wealth is distributed as lopsidedly as theirs was-and as ours
is. The inevitable consequence of plutocracy, then and now, is
bought government.

The plot against liberal American has been most effectively achieved
by the Washington Democratic leadership. They don't want to go back
to get off of the gravey-train of corporate money any more than the
Republicans. Every freedom lost has been with their participation.
Every corporate Republican rip off has been with them driving the
getaway car.

Bush had finished their work, they had quintupled the deficit and
pumped the debt up to more than $3trn. Bill Clinton called the
deficit "Stockman's Revenge" - and it domin ated all other topics
within his administration's economic teams. With the chairman of the
Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan himself speaking of "financial
catastrophe" unless steps were taken to control Reagan's deficit,
Clinton was soon a convert. He got tough with the federal workforce.
So-called virtues
George W Bush proceeded to plunge the budget into deficit again.
Indeed, after seeing how the Reagan deficit had forced Clinton's
hand, it would have been foolish for a conservative not to spend his
way back into the hole as rapidly as possible. "It's perfectly fine
for them to waste money," says Robert Reich, a former labour
secretary to Bill Clinton, summarising the conservative
viewpoint. "If the public thinks government is wasteful, that's
fine. That reduces public faith in government, which is precisely
what the Republicans want."
In 1964, the political theorist James Burnham diagnosed liberalism
as "the ideology of western suicide". What Burnham meant by this was
that liberalism's so-called virtues - its openness and its
insistence on equal rights for everyone - made it vulnerable to any
party that refuses to play by the rules. The "suicide" that all of
this was meant to describe was liberalism's inevitable destruction
at the hands of communism, a movement in whose ranks Burnham had
once marched himself. But his theory seems more accurately to
describe the stratagems of its fans on the American right. And the
correct term for the disasters that have disabled the liberal state
is not suicide, but vandalism. Loot the Treasury, dynamite the dam,
take a crowbar to the monument and throw a wrench into the gears.
Slam the locomotive into reverse, toss something heavy on the
throttle, and jump for it.
Mainstream American political commentary customarily assumes that
the two political parties do whatever they do as mirror images of
each other; that if one is guilty of some misstep, the other is
equally culpable. But there is no symmetry. Liberalism, as we know
it, arose out of a compromise between left-wing social movements and
business interests. It depends on the efficient functioning of
certain organs of the state; it does not call for all-out war on
private industry.
Conservatism, on the other hand, speaks not of compromise, but of
removing its adversaries from the field altogether. While no one
dreams of sawing off those branches of the state that protect
conservatism's constituents - the military, the police, legal
privileges granted to corporations - conservatives openly fantasise
about doing away with the bits of "big government" that serve
liberal ends. While de-funding the left is the north star of the
conservative project, there is no comparable campaign to "de-fund
the right"; indeed, it would be difficult to imagine one.
"Over the past 30 years, American politics has become more money-
centred at exactly the same time that American society has grown
more unequal," the political scientists Jacob Hacker and Paul
Pierson have written. The resources and organisational heft of the
well-off and hyper-conservative have exploded. But the org
anisational resources of middle-income Amer icans . . . have
atrophied. The resulting inequality has greatly benefited the
Republican Party while drawing it closer to its most affluent and
extreme supporters."
In this sense, conservative Washington is a botch that keeps on
working, constructing an imbalance that will tilt our politics
rightward for years, a plutocracy that will stand, regardless of who
wins the next few elections. And as American inequality widens, the
clout of money will only grow more powerful.
As I write this, the lobbyist-fuelled conservative boom of the past
ten years is being supplanted by a distinct conservative bust: like
the real-estate speculators who are dumping properties all over the
country, conservative senators and representatives are heading for
the revolving door in record numbers.
Plutocracy
The Democrats who have taken their place are an improvement,
certainly, but for the party's more entrepreneurial leaders
electoral success in 2006 was merely an opportunity to accelerate
their own courtship of Washington's lobbyists, think-tanks and
pressure groups staked out on K Street. Democratic leaders have
proved themselves the Republicans' equals in circumvention of
campaign finance laws.
Throwing the rascals out is no longer enough. The problem is
structural; it is inscribed on the map; it glows from the
illuminated logos on the contractors' office buildings; it is built
into the systems of governance themselves. A friend of mine
summarised this concisely as we were lunching in one of those
restaurants where the suits and the soldiers get together. Sweeping
his hand so as to take in our fellow diners and all the contractors'
offices beyond, he said, "So you think all of this is just going to
go away if Obama gets in?" This whole economy, all these profits?
He's right, of course; maybe even righter than he realised. It would
be nice if electing Democrats was all that was required to
resuscitate the America that the right flattened, but it will take
far more than that. A century ago, an epidemic of public theft
persisted, despite a long string of reformers in the White House,
Republicans and Democrats, each promising to clean the place up.
Nothing worked, and for this simple reason: democracy cannot work
when wealth is distributed as lopsidedly as theirs was-and as ours
is. The inevitable consequence of plutocracy, then and now, is
bought government.

The plot against liberal American has been most effectively achieved
by the Washington Democratic leadership. They don't want to go back
to get off of the gravey-train of corporate money any more than the
Republicans. Every freedom lost has been with their participation.
Every corporate Republican rip off has been with them driving the
getaway car.
