| Description | So was it just screwy California politics, or a real change in voter behavior? In the introduction to his 2004 Almanac of American Politics scholar Michael Barone suggests these voting shifts not only are real, but may be only the beginning.
Mr. Barone believes current American political behavior is explained by 17th-century British philosopher John Locke's (and later Thomas Jefferson's) belief that all free people have the right to life, liberty and property.
Life is once again focused, as in World War II and the Cold War, on individual and national security. When our safety is at risk, we demand that our leaders confront our enemies, secure our nation from attack, and protect us. |
