Just wanted to compliment Tom Bethell for an insightful article about Bill Moyers. Behind his spectacles and quiet demeanor, Moyers has an insidious political agenda that is excellently summarized. With so many great insights and quotes, it's hard to choose just one, but my favorite has to be, "but the socialist dream didn't work out and he knows that".

p>Now if we can just convince Hillary and the others that socialism doesn't work, we can turn our energies toward what someone in these pages once said is the "real debate," libertarianism vs. conservatism. Unfortunately, the modern-day liberal and other socialists never really go away. Hence, a free society is forced to expend its social and political capital in fighting off its constant assaults (i.e., environmental activism, multiculturalism, etc.). Great article exposing this PBS icon for who he really is. br> -- Regis Dansdill
