Liberals.™©·2003·
Classical liberals (rightly) swooned when John F. Kennedy said America would "support any friend, oppose any foe, and pay any price in the support of liberty," but if JFK could be resurrected and transported through time to the present, today's "liberals"-- who view American free-market capitalism as an aggravator of, rather than solution to, the world's problems and view terrorism as a symptom of American foreign-policy failures rather than as the product of non-Western cultures' refusals to embrace modernity and respect for human rights-- would view JFK as a "NeoCon" Neanderthal.

What Cronkite today would call "lib'ral" is better defined as "illib'ral"..

Now Cronkite "admits" he's "a lib'ral,"
concedes most reporters are "lib'rals,"
and further contends
the claims that they bend
reports to their views is just drivel.

So why does he think that the news
is rarely distorted by views
and fairness abounds?
'Cause liturgies sound
correct to the folks in the pews.

In contrast to classical lib'rals,
who now fill the NeoCon middle,
too many today
as "lib'rals" display
an illness I'm naming "illib'ral."

To "lib'ral" I'm prefixing "ill"
defining it's use as a shill
to label as "lib'ral"
the pantheist drivel *
that PC Theocracy spills.

To "lib'ral" I also add "ill"
'cause often it's used as a shill
with do-gooder labels
for gov'ment enabled
to "save" us from foolish free will**.

To "lib'ral" I further add "ill"
whenever it's used as a shill
for PC Theocracy
contending democracy
means gov'ment on Faith can say nil***.

However, the opposite view
is one that I also eschew:  
A TheoConOcracy
with Faith by democracy
enshrined as majority views****.

Inspired by Walter Cronkite's August 15, 2003, column titled, "Liberalism in the Media."  *To learn what I mean by "pantheist drivel," go here.  **To learn what I mean by this, go here and here. ***To learn what I mean by this, go here.   ****To learn what I mean by TheoConOcracy (views espoused by those I would classify as "TheoCons"-- i.e."conservatives" more interested in promoting their theology than limited government), go here and here.  --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com. ·
