Yours is not a humble opinion, it's a pompous and largely unfounded diatribe. This isn't trolling, I'm just disappointed and frustrated that the admins are stonewalling any revision of this article, when it's such an important topic. 'Know thine enemy', at the very least.

| | + | == Liberal Failures == |
| | + | |
| | + | [[Rush Limbaugh]] had a section in the December 2007 [[Limbaugh Letter]] called "Liberal Failures". At rushlimbaugh.com, Rush says he got the idea for his article from an article by Jeffrey Lord: [http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12269 A History of Liberal Disasters - American Spectator]. |
| | + | |
| | + | Rush lists several examples of liberal failures under each of these categories: |
| | + | |
| | + | *Economy/Taxation |
| | + | *Health Care |
| | + | *Law/Criminal Justice |
| | + | *Environment |
| | + | *Education |
| | + | *Immigration |
| | + | *Culture |
| | + | *National Security |
| | + | |
| | + | Rush says "''Liberalism doesn't work''. It fails, every time it's tried." <ref>Nailing the Left - Liberal Failures, [[Rush Limbaugh]], ''The [[Limbaugh Letter]]'', December 2007, pp. 13-15</ref> |
| | + | <br> <br> |
| | + | Jeffrey Lord lists examples of these liberal disasters: |
| | + | |
| | + | * Forced School Busing |
| | + | * Welfare |
| | + | * Luxury Tax |
| | + | * Alternative Minimum Tax |
| | + | * Bringing Peace to Vietnam and Cambodia |
| | + | * Free Love |
| | + | * Drugs |
| | + | |
| | + | "TOO SUM UP: Whether it was education policy, welfare policy, economic policy, foreign policy or social policy, time after time after time what became the guiding lights of modern American liberalism proved to be utter disasters. <ref>[http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12269 A History of Liberal Disasters] Jeffrey Lord, ''The American Spectator'', 11/6/2007</ref> |
