COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY TIM FARRON IN THE GUARDIAN
Liberalism has eaten
itself – it isn’t very liberal any more
I don't agree with the analysis, but saying liberalism isn't
liberal anymore is just a fact.
Look at the paper this appears in.
If you pay close attention, you will see that a number of
positions it espouses regularly could not possibly be called liberal.
The essence of true liberalism is a kind of generosity of
spirit and trying to be guided by the largest principles.
That is not what we see in a world constantly yanked at by
special interests.
Our governments and our press serve special interests
faithfully.
