Thought for the Day

I posted the following as a comment to something Mark posted on his blog:

The Left believes that socialist dictatorship is the only true (or perfect) form of government. What "Chimpy McBushitler" is doing is replacing proper states where the collective will is embodied in the person of the dictator with self-governing republics where the executive, legislative, and judicial powers are separated and holders of public office are, at least in theory, accountable to the citizen body.

What's worse in the minds (and we're assuming that they have minds here) of the Left is that the socialist systems of economic command based on compulsion where the leftist self-styled intelligentsia gets a free ride is being replaced by a market economy based on consent and contract where even intellectuals are expected to do or at least write something useful.

As to the charge of empire-building, Bush is operating with a voluntary coalition of free states. But in the "superior" intellectual methodology of the Left opposites are identical, thus War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Coalitions are Empires, and the reality that we see is unreal.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled reality.
