640560
For liberalism to survive in the West and regain the upper hand, it must have an identifiable platform. And merely opposing what conservatives propose is a recipe for obsolescence. Therefore, for liberalism to win back the upper hand in the West, it must accept that some of the conservative's agenda on the global stage is not only acceptable, but more in line with a liberal platform than a conservative one.

By Geoff Schumacher  Believe it or not, even in this age of extreme partisanship, there are a few issues on which liberals and conservatives can agree.  Eminent domain is one of them. "Eminent domain" is not a phrase that a lot of people are familiar with.

A lot has happened in the other world since Friday. That would be the world outside of Florida. Maybe by sometime today, this area and this state will get back to feeling more like part of that world.

Australia is facing a federal election on October 9th with the two main parties having little to separate them in domestic and economic policy.

Consequently terrorism for Australia is a foreign policy issue. On this basis the competing foreign policies of the Liberal Party and Labor Party can be compared.
