The Irish Savant has an excellent piece explaining how modern liberal-leftie-Democrats project themselves as brave anti-establishmentarians when they are, in fact, the upholders of a rigid and authoritarian establishment.
There's nothing brave these days, the Savant points out, in coming out as gay or in savaging the Church's mangy carcass. Fifty years ago it would have been. But back then the outspoken liberal of today would have been the head altar-boy ratting out the kids he saw smoking behind the shed.
