This morning on CBS movie critic John Leonard, a notorious liberal who literally bleeds directly from his heart and out through his mouth every time he says on anything at all, reviewed Lord of the Rings. I found it fascinating that he felt compelled to mention that Tolkien was a "monarchist" who feared "the mongrel hordes."

It was a perfect illustration of liberalism at work---an irrelevant cheap shot and a nasty, petty pretension to moral superiority.

I'm guessing he didn't like the movie. I remember that when Starship Troopers came out, liberal reviewers were in apoplectic fits over Heinlein's story for much the same reason, substituting "fascist" for "monarchist."
