Oh my, this syllabus/thesis will never fly in our institutions of higher and questionable, nebulous, learning, ay sus no. But it has a distinctive ring about it when put up against an actual flow diagram of what really goes on and who is doing what to whom and what order.
And I might expand the span of providers to include the real benefactors; the much maligned but solid Middle America. Hell, Dean outright hates half of them so that bodes poorly for the other half because he cheep-shots the crap out of those people as well, but doesn?t overtly hate them, at least in public-not yet anyway.
In all seriousness, I am studying contemporary ?Liberalism? and trying to figure out who the heck are these people and what do they stand for. Aye, yi, yi, not such an easy task, the ?against? part of the culture is a piece of cake, easy deal. But the ?for? is a very mysterious deal and like trying to grab a wiggling, greased, shoat.
Thus far, I have sliced off the advocated Liberal lifestyle as not being relevant to the study, to varying degrees that is nearly universal in a free and open society and always has been so, going way, way back.
Actually, the further left one looks, the more diametrically opposed to a liberal lifestyle the culture becomes, I mean intensely so. We?re talking about getting hauled off the local slam, beaten to a bloody pulp and then possibly being pitched on a cattle car headed east to a forced labor camp, or worse.

Then there is the Liberal claims of being responsible for many or all the good things that have happened in science, industry and medical advances. The things that I know a lot about; as in do for a living, have solid roots in science and human progress that extend way before; like a couple of centuries, the first US Liberal was making mustard in their diapers. So, I will make all those claims second level study stuff when I get to that point of research.
Right now I?m focused on Domestic Policy, Foreign Policy, Defense, The Constitution and the role Law, and therein comes the greased, wiggly, shoat part of the study. And no, I do not consider Liberals to be Democrats, two different deals entirely I believe, but supposedly under the same big top, or so the Liberals say.
