Sorry, Mike, that one's a non-starter. It'd only be a lie, buckaroo.
The problem with most self-identified liberals is the "self-identified" part - the whole thing has gone tribal and it isn't conservative ideas they hate, it's conservative people. A couple of basic Marxist concepts have seeped in and taken hold, and very much to the detriment of what can only be described as "liberal" ironically anymore. One of these is that power and wealth are zero-sum games and they must be torn from their possessors and redistributed "fairly," generally meaning more in the direction of the speaker or his favorite people. It's Proudhon, it's Engels, it's Foucault, it's crap. Leave it on campus to wither and die as it deserves.
Second, the "evil corporation" mantra is nothing more than a ploy to project anxieties to a faceless, nameless boogie-man. Lose it. Your books and movies are published by evil corporations, your car is made by them and driven with gasoline they provide. If you want to affect their policies, buy their stock and fire their boards. It isn't impossible, it happens every day.
Third, the "defender of the little guy" thing should have gone out with Henry Wallace. The little guy owns a fair slice of evil corporate Amerikkka (see item 2) in the form of pension plan stock ownership. He's bourgeoisie, Mike, he's literate, comfortable, and as far from "alienated" as you are from Jack LaLanne. The "in it for me" thing? It isn't just conservatives, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Maybe both sides would benefit from a little less dependence on the comfortable lie, but I see a lot of the manipulative sort coming from the liberal side of the aisle of late. The preference for the simply-communicated, emotive, bumper-sticker approach leads us far from the path of truth, and if it can be stated in a few well-rounded slogans, chances are it's a crock.
But if I could pick one thing, it'd be the tendency of the liberals I know to incessantly insist that conservatives are stupid and mean-spirited. It wears on a fella after awhile, Mike, and it doesn't foster discourse, it kills it. I know you meant well, but the premise of the stuff above is pretty patronizing, after all. Do knock it off...but you won't, will you? Because it's just too much fun...
