Once the GOP was full of 'Conservatives,' who advocated balanced budgets, individual rights, local control of schools, and limited government. Then they elected GWB, who brought us Homeland Security fascism and bankrupted the country. Then McCain called Obama our 'most Liberal' Senator. We explore what 'Conservative' and 'Liberal' mean--if anything--with some emphasis on No Child Left Behind today and the earlier School Desegregation fiasco (a battle in the Class War).
