Liberalism is still strong, people just forgot where their best interests were. In the 1970s, the New Deal and the Great Society made people so comfortable they fell for the Reagan era lies that "greed is good." People forgot that as a society we're at our best when we work as a team.
IMHO,the BEST thing anyone here can do is point out to every one you communicate to that Civilization is a team sport. (Like that? I came up with that phrase, spread it around.) To Christians, remind them that all sin is based on selfishness. To atheists, point out that the whole reason we had the New Deal was because billionaires manage society for their own benefit if Democratic government doesn't intervene. Whatever, find a way to explain to people that WITHOUT TEAMWORK, WE ALL LOSE.
I'd just love it if the theme for the 2006 election cycle became WITHOUT TEAMWORK, WE ALL LOSE. It'd be a simple message, which the Dems haven't had in ages. It's what we stand for, it's our way of operating, it's a noble goal. It's even a sports analogy, so the NASCAR dads and soccer moms will understand it.
What do you think?
