"Joe Conason, who made his mark by volunteering for the grimy task of defending Bill Clinton"

"Democrats suffer in failing to stand for any idea bigger than drugs for granny"

This man writes well.
"If the liberal class can't offer anything but hysteria and name-calling, the future of their cause looks bleak indeed."
Let's not confuse the liberal class with the Democrats, Robert. There's nothing liberal about them or the decadence known as "Liberalism".

Libertarians and Republicans are the liberal class. It is they, and definitely not the Democrats, who embody liberalism--freedom, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and open-mindedness.

You know, I rarely refer to Dems as "Liberals" any more. They're leftists in my book and I'll always call them that.

I consider myself a "liberal". I care about freedom, both economic and personal. Those people do not. They care about power and they mask it with a thin candy coating of "tolerance" and "diversity."

Barry Goldwater described himself as a "19th Century liberal".

Today, we have one political persuasion who stands four-square for the status quo -- the liberals. And we have a second that is trying to force a change, in favor of individual freedom -- the conservatives.

It is, indeed, a topsy-turvy world.
