Liberals Fascism On The Rise
Updates Below
Well, it looks like the fascists (not just the communists/marxists like Van Jones) are starting to come out of the liberal closet:
Watching both the health care and climate/energy debates in Congress, it is hard not to draw the following conclusion: There is only one thing worse than one-party autocracy, and that is one-party democracy, which is what we have in America today.
One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. It is not an accident that China is committed to overtaking us in electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power and wind power. China’s leaders understand that in a world of exploding populations and rising emerging-market middle classes, demand for clean power and energy efficiency is going to soar. Beijing wants to make sure that it owns that industry and is ordering the policies to do that, including boosting gasoline prices, from the top down.
Our one-party democracy is worse….
It seems liberals really are just industrial barons trying to enslave the masses to win the biggest bucks. Where is human rights, individual rights, the right to life? All lost in the envy of ‘elites’ who can order others to do their bidding. Now that Prince Obama is failing, they have come to the realization that it better to stop pretending they believe in America, democracy and free markets. The facade is falling due to their frustration that America is rejecting their idiocy.
The only problem with arrogant elites like this well known, once popular journalist is their arrogance so outstrips their intellect and ingenuity. They are not leaders. They visionary fantasies are seen as the jokes they are. This nut job thinks the oppression of China is preferable (since he naively thinks he would be in the ruling class and not simply a human cog in the state factory).
Their lack of ability and vision means the world would be better off under their jack boots? The quietly confident ,silent majority that make this country tick are about to slap these arrogant buffoons upside their oversized heads.
Update: Here is the knucklehead in his own words. If feel like running the fool over with a tank. At any rate, it seems Friedman is most upset that the GOP is leaving Obama to the hell that is the Democrat party:
With a few notable exceptions, the Republican Party is standing, arms folded and saying “no.†Many of them just want President Obama to fail. Such a waste. Mr. Obama is not a socialist; he’s a centrist. But if he’s forced to depend entirely on his own party to pass legislation, he will be whipsawed by its different factions.
Apparently being a smart opposition is unfair. Apparently it is unfair of the GOP to force Obama to lead his own party. What does this say about Obama?
I use to think that fascism could produce an utopian society when I was about 18. Then my Father sat me down for “this is how the real world works, this is the nature of man” talk.
Obama was all a-gaga with the Chinese and the Olympics. He was amazed what they accomplished in such a short period of time. Dictators can do amazing things with compliant populations at their finger tips. Democracy is hard, personal responsibility is hard, but the rewards are America.
Reasonably enlightened? The Chinese are in a dictatorship, how reasonable is that?
You know one of the reasons the Chinese can get things done so quickly is that they just shoot or lock up the environmentalists so that if and when they want to build a power plant or a high speed railroad or whatever they don’t have to deal with the treehuggers.
One of the most ridiculous items is Friedman claiming that China is going to “lead in Green Energy” – HA! They are putting a coal fired plant online every week, and their environmental standards are non-existant. They are now officially the greatest polluting nation on the planet.
And yet Friedman is willing to shill for them, even on this.
Anyone see that aerial view of Friedmans’ palatial estate that was on roger simon’s site a few weeks ago? That makes this article all the more galling! Thanks AJ , I am also glad that the masks are coming off!
