One of the good things about the 'Messing Around of America' by the Shrub Tendency is that Liberals are at last losing the 'cringe posture' when the L-word is thrown as an accusation. Example fron the New York Times where Al Franken has a Q+A session
" Question: Why do liberals like you hate America?
Al Franken's response:
Liberals like me love America. We just love America in a different way. You love America like a 4-year-old loves his mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad and helping your loved one grow... "
Now I wonder if we could adapt that to the UK...
