Fighting for freedom in the opinion battle.
Gustave Flaubert described himself as an “enraged liberal.” This is what liberals should be: outraged by corporations that stifle entrepreneurs, angered by close-mindedness, against a state that spies on its own citizens, and rejecting the undermining of democratic debate by almighty executive power. The opinion battle is at the core of all political victories.
