One of my greatest historical hero of the world is the Roman consul Cicero. He is believed to have been one of the greatest Roman orator and writer. His influence was marked in the European 14th century Renaissance and 18th century age of Enlightenment. Cicero's humanist teachings were basically: A willingness to subordinate our private interests for the public good; a desire to fight against corruption and tyranny; and an ambition to reach out for the noblest goals of all--those of honor and glory for the country as well as for ourselves.
Considering these goals, how would our leaders, many of whom don't even read, measure up? Of course, we know that they are running around in somnambulistic veneration of one psychopathic dude--as long as they get their benefits which are in times several thousands more than what the bewildered villagers who elect them get.
Freedom, Equality, Fairness, Progress and Happiness are some of the most important existential states ever recognized by humankind. The Liberal Manifesto seeks, supports and encourages all efforts of wo/mankind to those ends. It will oppose and fight against forces that work against these pentathlon principles.
