The Democrat’s motto is, “Attack anyone but Iraq—but not really.”

Liberalism is cynicism.

Look at it this way: journalism is the business of attracting attention with topical nonfiction. Journalists do that primarily by scaring us with superficial and negative reports. Liberals are simply politicians who sail with the wind of that propaganda barrage. They are cynical because journalism is negative and superficial--and cynicism is simply superficial negativity.
