The confessions of a closet liberal

I'm 59 years old, an engineer who has spent most of my life working for multinational corporations. My first experience with politics was my government lying to me about the War in Vietnam, both Democrats and Republicans. For most of my life I have been a registered independent or NAV (non affiliated voter) as we are known as here in Oregon. I never voted for Reagan or a Bush, but I was silent. While working for multinational companies I was never comfortable with the creeping fascism that started with Reagan, and yes, continued with Clinton. But once again I was silent. I thought of myself as a "moderate", a "centrist". Since the Bush regime came to power six years ago I have seen that the philosophy represented by Bush supporters for what it is, feudalism or it's modern equivalent fascism. So I am now a Proud Liberal out of the closet, not pretending anymore, no longer in denial, a modern day Jacobin without the guillotine.
