Then, Liberal Fascist Cole Porter wrote: “You’r the top; You’re Musolini. Today, Liberal Fascist Woody Allen would like to make Obama into a dictator. Well, these are irresponsible entertainers. The same cannot be said about Tom Friedman. He is an influential columnist and he dreams of making non other than Communist China’s president Hu Jintao, America’s dictator for a day! After all in China a Platonic philosopher king reigns with infinite wisdom and moral purity. No corruption to be found there. Only obvious optimal solutions are applied and, of course, the optimal solutions are obvious to both President Hu and Tom Friedman and brainless Andrea Mitchell dreams along during a recent Meet the Press panel discussion:
MR. FRIEDMAN: Well, David, it’s been decimated. It’s been decimated by everything from the gerrymandering of political districts to cable television to an Internet where I can create a digital lynch mob against you from the left or right if I don’t like where you’re going, to the fact that money and politics is so out of control–really our Congress is a forum for legalized bribery. You know, that’s really what, what it’s come down to. So I don’t–I, I–I’m worried about this, it’s why I have fantasized–don’t get me wrong–but that what if we could just be China for a day? I mean, just, just, just one day. You know, I mean, where we could actually, you know, authorize the right solutions, and I do think there is a sense of that, on, on everything from the economy to environment. I don’t want to be China for a second, OK, I want my democracy to work with the same authority, focus and stick-to-itiveness. But right now we have a system that can only produce suboptimal solutions.
MS. MITCHELL: And, in fact, Tom, you’re absolutely right. One case in point, the Financial Regulation Bill, which we can get to…
If Jonah Goldberg needed additional proof that liberal elite are fools for fascism here is yet another example.
No, they will never learn. All we can hope for is that the dreams of Tom and Adrea will remain just unfulfilled dreams and not be realized as our nightmares.
