A New Liberal Order

Peter Beinart has a good article in Time discussing how Grant Park - from the '68 DNC to Obama's victory speech - is a microcosm for the Fall and Rise of Liberalism. I think his "Freedom/Order" dynamic is really interesting and I hadn't heard the ebb and flow of political history and the cultural/economic wars explained through that lens before.

This was the best article I've read in a while. It explains why I've been favoring "progressive" over "liberal". Liberal has the hippy, pinko, anything goes vibe to it. Progessive seems more focused.
