Dissolve into Evergreens
This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Liberals = Weak

Brian Hull.net - A proclivity for verbosity: Liberal Demonization

Brian Hull has put down an excellent history of liberalism in the U.S. A worthy read.

I don’t even know when, where, why, or how the word liberal became something of scorn. Two decades ago liberalism was reduced to a synonym for weakness, it became associated with everything on the left that seemed immoderate, indecisive, contemptible and ignoble. Since when did compassion for others generate such negative emotions in people? Why should protecting the environment and workers rights, wanting a better education for our children, helping the poor, sick and elderly, protecting consumers from corporate greed, eliminating racism, sexism and classism, and wanting a peaceful world so that every nation can prosper be things to look down upon in disgust?


The war of definitions rages on.
