Not Into The Freedom Thing
Bush is causing trouble again. He's still talking about freedom, and there are some who are letting it be known that they’re not happy about it.
There are certainly more than a few arguments for or against a revolutionary program of "spreading democracy” throughout the world. The puzzling contradiction from the left, usually in the forefront of calls for "revolutionary change" and "ending oppression," is their clear disdain for the concept af actually advancing human liberty. Lets face it, they never really were very big on the concept to begin with. While having looked sympathetically upon the spread of Marxist "revolution" and totalitarian communism, they just can't bring themselves to endorsing the idea of spreading the concept of multiparty open society -- Too many people selling and buying stuff (capitalism).
They’re into "revolution’s" -- just not into the freedom thing.
