		Liberalism after World War II In much of the West, expressly liberal parties were caught between "conservative" parties on one hand, and "labor" or social democratic parties on the other hand.

	Ralph Nader's flawed strategy
		The Nation, along with most all of "liberal America," or, as Ralph Nader would say the "liberal intelligencia" remains trapped in the two-party shell game according to which the lesser evil is always preferable.
		Bush's rightist course has permeated liberal intellectual discourse, bending the minds of a diverse range of reformist thinkers from Sheer to Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn, and from the leaders of United for Peace and Justice to the National Organization for Women.
		Bush's list of crimes, the PATRIOT Act, war and more war, massive deficit spending and social cutbacks, "unfair trade," horrific globalization policies that ruin the lives of billions, homophobia, unprecedented military spending, and all the rest are employed to make the case that this man is the exception to the usual run-of-the-mill pro-corporate presidents.

	Liberal Education \| Fall 2003 \| MY VIEW: The Global "Liberation" of Liberal Learning
		Liberal education is finding new resonance among young people in our age of new, global challenges.
		This basic function of liberal education—this "liberation" that shows us where we fit in and how we get around—has a new relevance today, when the rest of the world is at our doorstep.
		It must be resisted by proponents of liberal learning's alternative vision emphasizing critical analysis, tolerance, and reconciliation—a vision that does not recoil when confronting change, but that invites different societies to take part in a common dialogue under an umbrella of collective responsibility.

	Mises's Legacy for Feminists (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Although the movement embraced a profound bias against capitalism, much of the thrust of liberal feminists was aimed at removing the legal barriers and inequities confronting women.
		With the death of the ERA and the consequent disillusionment of liberal feminists, the ideology of gender feminism came to the forefront and began to exert a defining influence on many issues.
		The form of feminism that draws most heavily upon classical liberalism is undoubtedly individualist feminism, which traces its roots as an organized force to the abolitionist movement in America.

	Jonah Goldberg's Goldberg File on National Review Online
		As I've written a bunch of times, I think liberals have cut themselves off from their own intellectual tradition, to the point where the giants of the true liberal tradition — Locke, Smith, the Founders, etc. — are vastly more celebrated on the right than on the left.
		Despite the caricatures of liberalism perpetrated by many on the right, there's a great deal of realism and sober analysis to be found on the liberal side of the aisle.
		Goldman was an esteemed liberal historian who taught at Princeton and served as an adviser to LBJ from 1963 to 1966.

	The Anonymous Liberal: Glenn's Book and Blogonomics
		When people abandon the heart of the liberal tradition and use it to divide the rest of us, they are not part of the solution.
		Although there is much benefit from interchange of ideas here on a blog, it is equally useful to have an opportunity to hear the leading thinkers through their writings, solely their personal narrative in their terms.
		I consider myself a liberal in the classic sense, i.e., someone who tries hard to approach issues with an open mind and to rely on empirical evidence and logical analysis (not rigid ideology) to guide my thinking.

		This being the case, the liberal capitalist approach to reform wouldn't be the abolition of the death penalty, but rather the creation of a "death in prison" penalty, where those convicted of the most heinous crimes are imprisoned in high-security, solitary death row conditions for the remainder of their natural lives.

	The American Spectator
		What seemingly frightens liberals is the penetrating questions and different policy proscriptions that challenge their once secure worldview.

		Prado has mixed what some might describe as a slightly liberal record on criminal, immigration, and federalism cases with a slightly conservative record on matters involving business regulation and disability cases.
		In any event, compiling the list will help identify the requisite qualifications and the type of candidate who might be acceptable, while the list might prove useful, should the president and the Senate reach an impasse.
		These lists will be less comprehensive either because they are less probable sources of candidates, there are too many candidates to list them all or I lack sufficient familiarity with the sources.

		The progressive-countercultural hub of the Washington, DC area, it is a nuclear-free zone, has a rich tradition of activist involvement in town government, and is proud of its strong community spirit.
		If you could imagine all the traditional liberal constituencies getting together decades ago and segregating (integrating?) themselves into an "Old Neighborhood", this would be it.
		Takoma Park is the type of community that's just always been a liberal-friendly place to live, even if you're the only liberal living there, and it seems almost incidental that most white residents are either professional free-thinkers or ex-Movement participants.
