Mark Twain: An Original Free Liberal

In case you haven't seen it, Time Magazine recently published a magazine with Mark Twain on the cover (read article here). Calling him "Our Original Superstar," the article does a reasonable job of outlining Twain's politics and how he might have viewed some current events.

Having read many of Twain's stories and articles each of which contain eloquent social commentary and criticism of corrupt politicians and the hypocrisy of the establishment, there is no doubt that Twain remains one of the most entertaining and timeless writers in American history. Articles like his powerful "The War Prayer," show me that Twain had the makings of a Free Liberal.
