Indeed, one cannot assume all "liberals/progressives" agree on multiple issues any more than all "conservatives/reactionaries" want to defund rail passenger service be it Amtrak or local commuter/subway/streetcar services. On of the great comedies was the essay on Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation site "Why Conservatives should support commuter rail" In short if daddy takes the train from the lily white suburban paradise to the nasty city to earn money, mommy can stay home using the single family car for her bio determined role of child rearing/homemaking/ferrying the children to school/extra curricular activities. The late Mr Weyrich stood for many things which I abhor, but supported public funding for rail. He also funded a magazine of electric rail transit news and later a electronic transit newsletter. |
