The American Liberalism Project

Individual Liberty—Progress—Humanity—Ethics—Rule of Law

"...if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties—if that is what they mean by a "liberal," then I am proud to be a liberal."
-- John F. Kennedy

Saturday Catch-Up Reads

It has been a wild ride this week.  Historic!  Full of promise and full of apprehension, too.  George intends to define "bi-partisan" as what he can do with the lame duck Congress before the real one sits next January.  Let him.  Every damned thing he does to act out brings John Conyers closer to the table.  Maybe that's what he finally needs.
