If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal."

Stabbed in the Back
I tried to find something to excerpt but it is a whole cloth and an excerpt won't do it justice. The thing is that it’s one very long continuous story. It needs to be read as a whole . It is really nice of Harper's to put this piece on the web.
