I think many excellent concepts and ideas have become "bad things" because when they have been on the platform of progressives over the years, they've been demonized by the opposing party. As we've all seen, when the conservatives don't have anything to run on, they demonize the platform of their opponents, and as long as they keep saying it over and over and over again (liberal=bad, liberal=bad, liberal=bad & on and on...liberals must be bad?) people will start buying into it (liberalism is bad! Socialism is un-American!).
Scores of excellent ideas have become politicized into being bad ideas as a result of a political party that isn't interested in the well being of their constituents, but are very interested in being elected/re-elected at all costs. These types of political games, coupled with a "fourth estate" that doesn't properly question them, result in a dangerous cultural downward spiral that hurts all of us.
