The SDPA disputes your findings and asks to see your formal studies into the matter. Though the charge is substantially meaningless, it plays on popular superstitions sufficiently to be libelious, and therefore the SDPA demands a retraction unless there is an empirical, controlled study that backs up your allegations.

The CPA notes that the tetchy tone of the previous post and the propensity of SDPA members to spend hours playing nerdy video games bolster the credibility of its assertions.

I have never heard of this Fabianism stuff but I kinda like it.

Conservatism (in its current, over exaggerated, xenophobic reactionary form) was considered a JOKE back in the 40s, and 50s. But these guys spent the next 40 years slowly building up their infrastructure. Now they own the damn place. People turn to Rush Limbaugh for guidance, and can count on squashing the opposition by simply charging people with being unpatriotic. It's an insidious system, but it works, even against traditional safeguards like the media.

It's essentially a British form of socialism... but it found favour in Australia as well (as many things British tended to do). It sits well with British political culture... being a "new wine in old bottles", and an evolutionary, approach to political change.

I heard that the New Right was founded by the younger supporters of the Goldwater campaign in '64, who appropriated the tactics and the energetic idealism of the New Left. Up until the Goldwater campaign, the Republicans were selecting monied up northerners like Rockefeller, weren't they?

Yes, I think they made the switch to turn down the South back to Republicans some time around 69. Oerdin is familiar with this particular history line.

Nixon's "southern strategy"?

The south was probably already fairly sick of the Dems by then I'd say... given JFK's initiation of and LBJ's signature on the Civil Rights Act.

He achieved fame during the 2nd Punic War. They called him the "Hesitant"... but it turned out to be a virtue. He watched and nipped at Hannibal as he spent his force marching around southern Italy pillaging and killing, without touching Rome.

He opposed Scipio's campaign on Carthage... which won the war... perhaps he was too hesitant in that case.

Yes, and then more recently they gained favor in the Reagan administration.

In lot of ways, more akin to the old left actually. The new Republican movement developed a message infrastructure (which has come to fruition in terms of all those right wing think tanks and radio stations) and grass roots funding and contact through mechanisms such as direct mail, that the Democrats have been losing in the last 60 years due to the gradual abandoment of labor rights, and thus trade unionism in this country.

Then there's the Southern Strategy, of course. Goldwater had opposed the Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
