They had 28 years and they did not "squander it". They put Conservative ideals into practice across the board-- GW Bush more than anyone else.

Now they're making the same excuse they make about Vietnam and Iraq; that the only problem was mismanagement. No, the problem was that the entire idea was flawed to begin with. Conservative economic policies do not work for anyone but the very very rich. That's what they're designed to do. Surely O'Rourke knows that, and it'd be nice if he could muster the guts to admit it.

The only *real* Conservative value, shameless greed, has been thoroughly promoted and woven through our society by men like O'Rourke for decades now.

They had their moral and economic revolution. It failed utterly. But like all blind ideologues, they're incapable of seeing that and only want to try it again.
