"We Liberals are heirs to the Enlightenment."
Read that today on a comments thread.
No they aren't.
Contemporary liberals are heirs, if anything, to 19th century socialist thought.
I don't think any of the rhetoric you hear from Obama right on down to liberal publications and programs can be considered part of the Age of Enlightenment collection and tradition.

"We know it's someone who works for
Fox or AP, but does it include a blogger? Does it include someone
who's tweeting? Are these people journalists and entitled to
constitutional protection?" Senator Dick Durbin D-Ill in discussing a media shield law.
And this is in the spirit of the Enlightenment how again?
Read that quote. Digest it.
And we're the 'extremists?'
