Ricechex: I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. I think he gets it quite well, actually, but is unwilling to be intellectually or philosophically honest.

He’ll freely accuse others of hypocrisy and bigotry, while practicing it himself. He seeks cover with words like “pragmatism” and “reality”, but then throws out how Democratic “ideas” and “ideals” are meaningful, but never explains what those ideas and ideals are, or how they will be achieved.

I get sick and tired of Leftists tying up that tired old post-structuralist nonsense with a term that does have considerable meaning and resonance, like “liberal”. Think Daniel Patrick Moynihan versus Teddy Kennedy. One was a truly liberal thinker and possessed of a social conscience and the other was a fat, drunk philanderer who rode the family name into oblivion.
