“Isn't political freedom an American right? That is what always horrifies me about these righteous purges; the implicit denial of our constitutional rights. We forget sometimes that the essence of democracy is to question. In those days, people thought- some still do- that liberal meant Communist. To me a liberal is one who moves slightly left when the Fascists get too strong and slightly right when the Communists get too pushy. A real liberal has to be flexible that way.”
