Liberal Fascist Shows His Colors

Thomas Friedman, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, wrote a doozy of an opinion article in the September 8 edition of the New York Times in which he praises the Enlightened Autocracy of China in comparison to the messy business of Democracy in the United States. The article is so over-the-top ridiculous that it really needs to be read in it's entirety. Thomas Friedman basically is upset that, even though the Democrats have a veto-proof majority in the Senate and a large majority in the House, they haven't been able to approve any of the measures Dear Leader is pushing, and laments America's messy democracy:

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.

Yes, it's just too hard to get anything done when you hold all the keys to making and passing laws, gosh darn it!

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.

So, there you go Melkor, China, we should be like them! Why? 'Cause noted, uhm, person, Thomas Friedman says so, that's why!

He quotes Joe Romm from Climateprogress:

“China is going to eat our lunch and take our jobs on clean energy — an industry that we largely invented — and they are going to do it with a managed economy we don’t have and don’t want,” said Joe Romm, who writes the blog, climateprogress.org.

He neglects to say that they're also eating our lunch in building coal power plants, and nuclear power plants, and would be eating our lunch at producing oil if they had any! Yes, there are some advantages.

Anyway, if we have our troll reading, here's the perfect example of Jeff's Liberal Fascist! This retard is a highly respected journalist. Now you know why Print Journalism is dying.
