The political center shifts right

The political center has shifted dramatically to the right through the last few decades. This has occurred both in the United States and abroad. Liberty Central uses a Pew poll to support itself and the draconian cuts of the RNC budget proposal. Global Conditions gives us a deeper and broader perspective on the issue.

An Economist's View notes the shift, but seems to remain unaware of policy changes such as a repeal of the fairness doctrine and rules changes about media consolidation that were enacted during the Regan Administration.

The political climate has shifted and Climate Shifts notes that a Koch binge is pushing things to the right which is wrong for the vast majority.

Nixon created lots of regulatory agencies like the EPA and Reagan raised taxes. They'd be considered pinko-commies by today's standards. Don't believe me though, read about it here and here and listen to Rush getting reamed. As for Nixon, you can sock it to 'em, or read about it here, here or there.

To be liberal now...
