Ramesh – What a strange tirade that guy offers (I’m assuming it’s a guy). It almost seems like he went through the amendments, picked the ones he likes and concluded that they must have been passed by liberals — by which he presumably means populists, Progressives etc. Personally, I find it refreshing when liberals admit they are the progeny of the Progressives and Populists. But I don’t think this guy has put a lot of thought into it. For example, it’s particularly telling that he counts the repeal of Prohibition as a liberal amendment but leaves out the 18th amendment which established Prohibition. By what rationale is that possible? Prohibition was the quintessential byproduct of the marriage of Populism and Progressivism. But, liberals don’t like it, so it must not have been liberal.
