Last time, sink? Is this a duel to the death?

Wow, this is the best and certainly most interesting article Allen ever wrote. He does his best to hide the best part by burying it under the part about the Pope etc.

One issue with the article, though, is that he uses the term ``liberalism'' in too different contexts. On one hand it means, what we would call liberalism today, i.e. the politics of Ted Kennedy. But he obviously refers to classical liberalism too, which many people on this site would agree with- though they wouldn't agree with the former.

Thanks for posting this.

Actually, this is a very good article. There is a lot here we can all use.

I'm not sure, though, that liberalism in the classic sense would be so whole-sale rejected. What it's turned into, yes, but in the beginning the ideals were noble, although a bit naive.

Could it be that conservatives are using the wisdom of hindsight in turning the other direction abnd rejecting any sort of liberalism?
