Liberals

Those other elections Those other elections

With our national fixation on Obama and the White House, it's easy to overlook local results and the real progressive mandate.
  • Who's the most liberal of them all?

    The National Journal releases its annual ranking of the most liberal and conservative congressmen -- but is it really accurate?
  • In Barack we trust?

    Obama campaigned on his personality and judgment and won. Now, like it or not, he isn't beholden to anyone.
  • Barack Obama, honeymoon killer?

    The Clintonites in his Cabinet, forgiveness for Lieberman, the creeping signs of centrism -- progressives aren't ready to panic, yet.
  • Obama, be progressive!

    Voters want you to go big and go liberal -- and not channel Clinton-style incrementalism.
  • Quote of the day

    Why liberals are like pagans who practiced human sacrifice.
  • "Everything matters to everybody"

    French provocateur Bernard-Henri Lévy on how the left is being destroyed by tolerance -- and why Europeans love Obama.
  • For the sake of the girl with the beautiful swing

    For 10-year-olds everywhere -- Little Leaguers or not -- I hope we get a better president than the incompetent we've wasted eight years of our national life on.
  • Poor America

    Blame our financial woes on poor spellers, like the intellectual charity case in the White House.
  • We're failing our kids

    No Child Left Behind has plenty of flaws, but throwing it out because it's a Republican plan is morally disgusting.
  • America needs realists, not William Kristol

    If the New York Times wants true diversity on its Op-Ed pages, it should hire foreign policy realists, not ideologues.
  • "We're all fascists now"

    An interview with conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg, who argues that fascism is left-wing, not right-wing, and that contemporary liberals are fascism's intellectual offspring.
  • Our new friend is a racist -- should we dump him?

    My husband and he have so much in common -- but his beliefs are pernicious and wrong!
  • Good times for liberals

    GOP ascendancy is over, says Paul Krugman. It's time for progressives to seize the day and turn back economic inequality.
  • Will Congress denounce Rush Limbaugh?

    He calls Chuck Hagel "Senator Betray Us" and denounced antiwar Iraq vets as "phony soldiers," but don't hold your breath waiting for a Senate vote to condemn him.
  • Little boxes

    The world wants to label us and we want to resist. But look at the damage the Current Occupant has done in the name of escaping the term "moderate Republican."
  • A kinder, gentler war on terror

    New Republic editor Peter Beinart admits he was wrong about Iraq -- but still calls for liberals to fight the "new totalitarianism rising from the Islamic world." Yet many on the left don't believe his bogeyman even exists.
  • The left splits over immigration

    Most liberals have celebrated the recent pro-immigration marches. But some leading progressives say illegal immigration hurts American workers.
  • No Bush, please -- we're Canadian

    Canada just elected a right-wing prime minister, Stephen Harper. But he had to distance himself as far as possible from George W. Bush to win.
  • "As far left as it gets..."

    A chilling Fox News report on a town so liberal, it's obscene!
  • "The Truth (With Jokes)"

    Al Franken pukes into his wastebasket in Chapter 4 of his new book, then spends Chapter 5 in "Rove-induced septic shock."
  • Karl Rove is a liar

    In attacking liberals' reaction to Sept. 11, Bush's senior advisor once again resorts to McCarthy-style tactics.
  • The new face of the Democrats

    Let conservatives co-opt "South Park and "The Incredibles." It's time for liberals to get in touch with the free-range, foul-mouthed, gunslinging antiheroes of "Deadwood."
  • David Brooks, champion of the people?

    The right-wing columnist used my work to bash Dean and MoveOn as elitists -- conveniently ignoring the big-money interests that pull the GOP's strings.
  • The Oprah way

    To change people's minds on issues like gay marriage, liberals need to learn to tug at their heartstrings.
