Tecumseh said...: Yes, I was thinking of that. But then again, France in the late 30s was still much to the left of the US (think Front Populaire, Leon Blum -- the full pre-Vichy Pepe). At any rate, let's start then the clock at the end of WWII, which, after all, is the start, more or less, of the "modern" era. Since then (and up to January 2009), clearly, the US has been consistently to the right of Europe -- even in the late 70s, no?; 6/08/2009 3:32 PM
