Kerry may have been the more "liberal" candidate in the sense that Rush Limbaugh uses it (more left-wing/socialist), but that's not the kind of "liberal" which Fukuyama was talking about.
Truth is, by the historical (and European, I think) meaning of the term, the more liberal candidate was Bush. And liberalism won.
It's not dead, it's cycling. There will be a peace dividend in the coming decades, and liberals will quickly waste it on our blood, just as they wasted their parent's sacrifice in the 60s and 70s.
"You have to give credit to Osama bin Laden. In just one day, this fanatic -- using 19 zombie suicide hijackers and four planes full of innocent people -- managed to roll back history by putting the notion of self-preservation back at the center of human values..."
An ALMOST redeemable quality of Osama? If not for the attacks of 9/11, would we be wallowing in an even more grand cesspool of LibeRAT excrement? Food for thought...
On second thought...
Nothing can redeem the unredeemable...
BLOW EM ALL TO HELL!!!
i was thinking the same thing.
If he's bought into liberal talking points this far, nothing else he says can be worth much.
Liberalism was invented so that LOSERS could feel proud about one thing in their lives.
Never get between an idiot and its security blanket.
Easy sloppy thinking.....defeatism and pessimism....yawn.
Pure silliness. The best description of liberalism I've ever read was from Lawrence Auster, an ultra-conservative writer. He descibed liberalism as being like the liquid-metal assasin in "Terminator II" - even when you blow it to pieces, it somehow manages to reconstitute itself and attack again.
Remember our euphoria of a decade ago? The Contract with America? The prospect of Lord Hee-Haw / Hildebeast as a one term pres? The prospect of abolishing the education department, PBS/NPR, and all the rest? The promises to repeal stupid and evil laws and treaties? What happened? The classic error of underestimating your enemy. Let's not make that mistake again! It's fine to enjoy the Schadenfreude of the moment, but keep in mind that the enemy is not going away. He's marching in the ranks of the Republican Senate delegation and has promised in no uncertain terms to see to it that we can have any judges we desire - as long as they are liberals!
They still control the vast apparatus of the MSM. They still control all but a few islands of education - from kindergarten through graduate schools. They still control the arts, the popular culture, and trade unions. The vast majority of the truly wealthy are on their side. We should never let our guard down for a minute.
