What's the role of government in society? What do we mean when we talk about individual responsibility? What makes us free? 'Neoliberalism' might feel like a squishy term that's hard to define and understand. But this ideology, founded by a group of men in the Swiss Alps, is a political project that has dominated our economic system for decades. In the name of free market fundamentals, the forces behind neoliberalism act like an invisible hand, shaping almost every aspect of our lives.

We could talk on this for years. What you don't want to see however is something like the Fox Com con job that politicians forced on us here in Wisconsin by the right wing Tea Party and Donnie. It's still not up and going the way Snot Walker promised us.

SFC Randy Hellenbrand I Remember when there were a Few Smart "Conservatives" Unfortunately, Now? Most of them have left the Republican Party and are Independents, The Current "Conservative" "Republican" Party is Nothing More than Fascist, Racist and Those Electronically Lobotomized by "FOX NEWS".

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - We had that recently in my state. Most of our R's went off the deep end, but one prominent state senator from a prominent political family stood up and went I. He's working to add some sanity back into our political situation here. I still don't agree with everything he says/does, but I respect him immensely for taking a stand and trying to find a sane middle ground.
