President Bush today awarded the national humanities medals.(see here)
Most of them were awarded for efforts of behalf of "liberty." I am pleased to report that no philosopher got one.

Pipes and VD Hanson as "humanitarians".
In After Virtue, Mcintyre pointed out that the barbarians have been in the corridors of power for some considerable time.
Quite so if these two benighted ghouls are considered to be "humanitarians".
Meanwhile I quite like this assessment of the state of USA "culture".
