Inculcated by the sort of academic-fantasy-radicals that have had no direct contact (or even understanding) with the sort of creeping totalitarianism that their small incremental "crises" that we're all supposed to remediate lead to.<br /><br />Having lived in the DDR, I can tell you first hand that authoritarian leftism is not something one wakes up to overnight. The DDR started out by collectivizing one thing after another rather gradually, much as we are now letting one sector of siciety and economy go under heavier and more potentially venal and easy-to-abuse defacto nationalization.<br /><br />The risk, quite simply, is that regardless of what you think of civil society institutions and businesses, Governments doing what they did aren't just personally invasive and lecturesome, but have the power of law to have a monopoly on those powers.<br /><br />Quite frankly, I just don't think the President is intelligent enough to understand the consequences of enlarging the government. HE might be a benign user of it. YOU might think that those in it are benign users of that position, but the fact remains that anyone with less respect for the individual's will probably doesn't.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468112380845144830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13430685.post-52976901380155448422008-05-13T12:41:00.000-04:002008-05-13T12:41:00.000-04:00What worries me most is that it took Fox news to b...What worries me most is that it took Fox news to break the Wright story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13430685.post-1106540171698317562008-05-10T15:36:00.000-04:002008-05-10T15:36:00.000-04:00(Pic is now updated with additional names listed. ...(Pic is now updated with additional names listed.
