"Liberal: A power-worshipper without power."
-George Orwell
"Liberal: A power-worshipper without power."
Or a dragon without fire, a ship without a rudder, a mission without a mandate, responsibility w/o authority.
I was always taught that the one true test of having power is having the ability to say "no". If you can't say no, you don't have the power.
I do not know of any liberal who ever said no at the right time.
