Gabba gabba we accept you, we accept you, one of us:
Peter.
It is young "reality-based" liberals, having watched the Bush administration's theological denial of global warming and its theological approach to the Iraq war, who today champion empiricism over ideology. In foreign policy, they prefer liberal democracy to dictatorship but doubt America's capacity to remake societies we don't understand. In domestic policy, they want a larger government role but don't share the easy optimism of Great Society liberals, who witnessed the extraordinary government-led progress of the postwar decades.
You have my number, man. Call me. Jooooiiiiin ussssssssssssss.

For some reason, I'm fairly certain that Peter Beinart ain't quite the sort of pinhead that Joey and DeeDee (or Tod Browning) had in mind.
