Essay:Death to - uh, of the Liberal Class

Chris Hedges, M.Div., a socialist author who equates Christian fundamentalists to Nazis, but then turns around and lumps Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens in with said fundamentalists for the crime of being too hard on Islamic fundamentalists, has recently been mouthing off about what he calls the "liberal class," which by his definition is roughly equal to what such figures as Andrew Schlafly call the "liberal elite." Hedges, being sore that most liberals are now more of a liability than an asset for pinkos, rips the former group of persons in a book entitled Death of the Liberal Class (which, from what is visible of it, is more appropriately entitled Death TO the Liberal Class), an excerpt of which has been made available as part of an NPR feature.

In this essay, I offer a partial translation of this excerpt into English.
