Cassandra?

A watchful FOR sends the following, which I post without comment:

This is from a 1999 article you wrote. Scary

Penny-ante bigotries (flashback: anti-Ayatollah bumper stickers) and antipathy toward the press are this decade’s early-warning signs that we may be heading once again into an ’80s-style rollback of basic civil liberties, spectacular tax giveaways to a tiny coterie of superrich and economically ruinous policies of wage stagnation and repression of workers. And don’t forget: Reagan’s trickle-down economics was a disaster for the middle class. It’s almost as if, after five or six years of incredible economic growth, right-wing, flag-waving, Bible-pounding twits would rather see their own portfolios evaporate than watch poor people and minorities begin to enjoy the American dream.

Nothing lasts forever, but good things invariably get murdered.
