The Republicans in the United States have hammered the final nail into the coffin of conservatism. Having controlled the House, the Senate, the White House and Supreme Court over the past several years, they have left the country reviled internationally, mired in an unnecessary, inadvisable and illegal war, deeply in debt and with the gap between rich and poor growing daily. On all fronts they have failed entirely when they had their hands on the levers of power.
Now that their ideology lies irreparably broken, where does America go from here?
How about towards international pluralism (start working and co-operating with other countries rather than bullying and invading them). How about towards social justice (to provide health care for all its citizens). How about towards economic fairness (by raising the minimum wage, lowering university tuition, building low cost housing). How about towards accountability for those with wealth, power and influence (to prevent more Enrons)
