Have you ever heard the political term Post-Moderns?

June 20, 2013 By Richard C. Young

Have you ever heard the political term Post-Moderns? According to Henry Olsen at the National Review, the PMs favor unions, Obamacare and the U.N. I oppose all three as does, supposedly, Rand Paul. I do not think the PM crowd figures to buy into the Rand Paul message or in most cases vote anything but Democrat.

Post-Moderns like unions (50 percent favorable), Obamacare (only 16 percent think it will have mainly a bad effect), and the U.N. (60 percent favorable). They are much less likely than Libertarians to say government should be smaller (85 percent vs. 55 percent), and are significantly less likely to say that cutting major programs should be the main way to cut the deficit (47 percent vs. 8 percent). They much prefer expanding alternative energy (79 percent) to producing more fossil fuels (13 percent). And they are more likely than Libertarians to support gun control (54 percent vs. 18 percent) and government efforts to fight childhood obesity (62 percent vs. 24 percent).

Compare their beliefs with those of Senator Paul. He proposes dramatically cutting major entitlement programs. He proposes eliminating foreign aid. He champions fossil-fuel production. He is, in the Pew typology, a typical Libertarian.
