What will they call it?
When did the term McCarthyism become common to describe the anti-Communist hysteria of the 1950's?

What will they call this era? Neo-conservatism? Bush-ism? Rapturism? Enron-ism? Thank-God-It's-Overism?

5. A "Regression"
A time when America regressed into imperialism abroad and regressed her liberties and social policies at home. The opposite of a progressive era where things move forward, it a "regressive era."
