"With no coherent new liberal narrative to render our values timely..." You don't say, Sparky? Could have fooled me!
If you can stomach it, read the whole silly mess. Few articles reveal so much about the liberal mind, or rather the lack thereof.
Liberalism, as with Progressivism, is a mental disorder. =.=
LOL! That is quite enough. I don’t need to see any more of it. It’s all about the narrative to them. The fact that nothing in history supports their backward beliefs never even enters into their minds.
In exactly the same way that "decay" is enduring. In exactly the same way that rust never sleeps. In exactly the same way that the second law of thermodynamics demands that the entropy of any closed system must always increase.
Just as Kipling taught us in The Gods of the Copybook Headings, the dog must return to its vomit. In exactly this way, Liberalism's core values are strong, persuasive, and enduring.
Maybe the message is "We are clueless and we need adult supervision".
I laughed after the first sentence. That’s a knee slapper.
One grain of truth in the piece: the smelly OWS brats are indeed representative of liberal “values”: drugs, sex, body mutilations, anger, socialism, communism and body odor.
“Liberalism’s core values remain strong, persuasive and enduring.”
(The Catholic church calls them ‘The Seven Deadly Sins’)
“Their fighting vitality is apparent in the spreading youth-led protests on Wall Street and across the country.”
(Though organized, directed, paid for and supported by corrupt old ultra wealthy white men who see it as a means to keep and extend their wealth and power.)
“What we lack is a coherent progressive narrative explaining and justifying liberalism’s role in the radically changed circumstances of the twenty-first century...”
(Now that the Soviet Union collapsed, taking most institutional Marxism with it, and China is more interested in money than dialectic.)
“Liberals need to stop denying who they are...”
(Which is hard when you can’t look in a mirror without wanting to vomit, and even your therapists don’t want to physically touch you.)
persuasive
and enduring.
If we can't beat them, even with the massive fraud they use to stuff ballot boxes, then we don't deserve to win. Even if Romney is our nominee, we need to get every conservative to the polls for the Senate and House races and for state and local elections. These drug-addled losers must be stopped; it's time for the adults to make the decisions.
"We the people" are the government. America is a government that has a country, not the other way around. To oppose government is therefore anti-people and anti-American.
Very persuasive. I'm convinced.
The author is certifiable.
Were things like this ever taken seriously? If so, when did things change?
When did we as a country stop falling for stuff like this? Or at what age do individuals realize it's nonsense?
Or maybe there's always an audience of manifesto readers and believers that completely overlaps with the supply of manifesto writers.
Thomas Jefferson and Sam Adams have nothing in common with the modern progressive left’s communist and socialists. The problem is they are totalitarians not liberals.

“Their fighting vitality is apparent in the spreading youth-led protests on Wall Street and across the country. “
So, the mouldy, anti-Semitic hippy wannabes of OWS, they’re “youths”? They’re also “liberals”? You heard it straight from the horse. Never let them live it down.
What bs. This guy must live in a basement; he only writes about the world that he imagines. The real world has completely escaped his consciousness.
You got that right. It's almost impossible to read this entire screed without dozing off, but I skipped down to the last paragraphs which reveal this totalitarian's mind. He writes "private ownership corrupts democracy" in one of his final statements. He wants the internet to be run by a central government. He could have spared the poor fools who read the entire ridiculous leftist jumble, and just wrote that. This guy really needs a good editor.
I’m glad that I didn’t eat my Stove Top Stuffing before reading this leftist wimp’s BS.
Come on Progressives. Let’s get this revolution on.
We’re loaded with guns and ammo. You’re loaded with marxist bullshit. Who do you think is going to win?
We’re the Libyan people. You’re Qaddafi, and you know how that worked out.
See you in the streets, progressives. I love a target rich environment.
