Liberal agenda fails
The Spokesman-Review opinion articles and political cartoons, classifying Fox News conservative talk show hosts as extremely partisan and least-trusted news (The Center for Deceit Control, Extreme Rule Politics, and “Some Prefer Lie from Cable News), are inappropriate.
Conservative media is popular because it provides news, information, perspective that is not provided in the liberal media. Why this debate is so acrimonious is unfortunate and unnecessary when most people support the same goals: government that provides security, basic services and creates an environment that encourages businesses for good employment opportunities and operates within the revenue it receives.
The most recent poll reveals two-thirds of Americans think that we are going in the wrong direction.
Factually, the conservative direction succeeds and the liberal agenda fails in cities (several in bankruptcy), states (the worst being California, Illinois and New York) and most of the countries in Europe. All are governed by liberal/socialists and all with unsustainable debt and high unemployment.
Economic growth would resolve the problems of jobs and government revenue. Unfortunately, most of recent growth has been in the size and overreach of government.
