you never heard the phrase "common good" before a few years ago?

The phrase really came out of Catholic social teaching.  According to Wikipedia that first started in the late 1800's.

Organizations like Protestants for the Common Good have been around since at least 1995.

That is not what I meant.

As McDermott said, the Democratic Party had LOST its ability to articulate itself as the PArty of the Common Good. He mentions FDR expressly.
