The Liberal Position

In Sunday's New York Times (May 22, 2005) Daniel Okrent, "The Public Editor", explained that his use of the headline "Is The New York Times A Liberal Newspaper?", and starting the essay with "Of course it is", brought him a lot of heat from "ideologically fueled detractors on the right". He simply explained that the staff's experience, worldview, and "news coverage reflects a generalized acceptance of liberal positions on most social issues".

Nobody has to apologize for being a Liberal and nobody should. After all, what is a Liberal? I consider myself a Liberal and I support, among other things, the following:

1. Unions and the right to unionize.
2. A living wage
3. Univeral health care
4. A tax on wealth
5. A woman's right to choose
6. Free tv and radio time for politicians during elections
7. Social Security as an insurance program

If you agree with most or all the above, you are probably a Liberal, too.
