Michael Moore is circulating “A Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives,” which is, of course, amusing.
Number 2 on his list, for example, says: “We will let you marry whomever you want, even when some of us consider your behavior to be ‘different" or "immoral.’ Who you marry is none of our business. Love and be in love -- it's a wonderful gift.”
And Number 8: “We will never stick our nose in your bedroom or your womb. What you do there as consenting adults is your business.”
But it’s pure nonsense to suggest that the “Democratic majority” is going to anything meaningful about No, 6, “when we clean up our air and water, we, the Democratic majority, will let you, too, breathe the cleaner air and drink the purer water.”
Or to provide universal health coverage, or clean up our air and water, or end the Iraq war, or go after corrupt politicians.
The Democrats, of course, are not liberals and are not about rock the boat, though they may give it a gentle nudge from time to time.
As long as it doesn’t seriously annoy the ruling elite.
