Ours is the age that is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to.

Join the Angry Liberal Club

As some of you may know, I’m liberal. A firm believer in positive rights and social liberty, even. That is why I find it so refreshing to see that at least one liberal is as angry as I am:

I’m angry about the shredding of the constitution…illegal wiretaps…falsified intelligence…secret prisons… use of torture as an accepted means of interrogation…Terry Schiavo…the war on science…denial of Global Warming…the fascistic secrecy of our elected officials… presidential signings that declare the President above the law…the breakdown of the wall between church and state…the outing of a clandestine CIA agent for purely partisan political gain…the corrupting influence of K Street… the total sell-out of the legislative process to corporate interests… appointments of unqualified cronies at every level of government…Harriet Miers…Brownie…Abu Ghraib… Scooter …the complete mismanagement of the war in Iraq…the lies about the complete mismanagement of the war in Iraq…the grotesque budget deficits… the pathetic response to Katrina… a civil rights division dedicated to undermining civil rights…an environmental protection agency that refuses to protect the environment… (Take a breath, Angry Liberal Guy.)

It is from the same guy who wrote My Modest Proposal

You may have a confederate flag hanging outside your house next to a pickup truck, an enormous cross bursting from your front lawn, or a vast collection of guns in your basement… If you’re angry over even some of what is written above, you just might be an angry liberal too.
