So far, everything I see from the Democratic Party tells me they’re afraid to be who they are. Crouched in Howard Dean’s basement in Vermont, they’re spending their energy trying to keep people from using the word “liberal” about them, only venturing outside now and then to throw rocks at Republicans with glass houses.

That’s keeping your light hid under a bushel. That’s what you do when you’re hoping to win something by default—like a race car driver who hangs back, hoping to zoom past if the leaders get in an accident.

I say stop apologizing for sounding liberal and be as liberal as it is possible to be.
