He helped bring freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and freedom of commerce to his country.

That is certainly the opposite of any accurate description of American 'liberals', for whom stealing and destroying conservative campus newspapers is considered to be a laudable act, who go out of their way to disparage America's religious people, and who despise virtually anything that promotes commerce.

It would be amusing, if it weren't so pathetic, that so many leftists whose deeply-held beliefs were put into practice in the Soviet Union and in East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and other Iron Curtain countries seem to identify with the freedom-loving people who brought down the Berlin wall and tore down the apparatus of State power, rather than with the tyrants, nomenklatura, and apparatchiks who are their natural comrades in word, thought, and deed.
