there be a time when liberalism have a connotation of deep thinking , tolerance , and openness to healthy , civil debate . no longer . and HARPER 's be a perfect symbol for all that ail the leave . to call this magazine `` leave lean '' be a farce . it do not lean ... it completely , totally , enthusiastically , and blindly tumble and fall into the `` far leave '' swamp . the tone be often hysterically and shrilly partisan , reflect the ongoing deafness and disconnection that the leftist media elite have towards the mainstream of America . the quality of the writing and feature selection have decline precipitously through recent year . this rag be about as credible now as the guardian , NATIONAL ENQUIRER , or , come to think of it , the New York TIMES ! save you money , LOL !
