Putting back the small “l” where it belongs
(Canscene) — When did the word “liberal” become equated with evil in the United States? How many times have we heard and read negative connotations to the word?
The utterings of neo-cons and right wing fundamentalists in recent years have echoed the post World War II hysteria over communism which included lumping the liberal-minded with “reds,” “fellow travellers” and “pinkos.”
How it must have galled Bush and his fellow neo-cons to know that until January, 2006 the administration was compelled to do business with a large “l” government in Canada. But now after the mid-term elections of last month, the evil liberals are poised to strike from within.
Beware, Dubya and fellow neo-cons! They’re going to give you an “l” of a time.
