I would say that I’m glad he’s seen the absurdity of entitlement programs, but I can’t because he believes that such programs need to be tweaked.

Honest Liberal
Oxymoron.

Nicholas Kristof is NOT an honest liberal.

Obama and the Bigots

Mr. Obama has spoken respectfully of Islam (he told me last year, on the record, that the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset”).

Obama: Man of the World

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

But I’ll also admit that libertarians don’t really have a solution.

Sure we do. Temporary short-term help for those relative few who truly need it, with rigorous controls in place to prevent fraud.

Everyone else is expected to hump their own gear.

First, the easy observation:

The liberal wants to invade the sanctity of the home because the incentives his kind have created are putatively causing harm to children. The irony is that the liberal blames the parents for the unforeseen consequences of his own social policy.

As always, the remedy for failed socialism is not real reform but more socialism.

The second observation is to note that it is inevitable that the elitists will turn on the lower classes which simply refuse to react in accordance with expectations to liberals' stimuli. We have seen this countless times in the Soviet Union and particularly in the treatment by the Russians of the Kulaks. It is not a novel observation to note that the most dangerous humanoid on the planet is a liberal setting out to do good.

When Obama and his kind run out of demons to blame, when they have abused the rich to their satisfaction, and the whites and the Christians, they will inevitably turn on the poor.The more good the Obama administration and its successors do, the more power they amass, the more likely we will see a cultural revolution.

I think this Kristoff a**cap was the same buffoon who was lamenting the fact that “rich” people in the NE had generators in the aftermath of sandy, and he thought it wasnt fair to the “poor” (aka “unprepared”)

socially selfish, indeed.

(Article, quoting Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times)

---

In a means-tested program like S.S.I., a woman raising a child may receive a bigger check if she refrains from marrying that hard-working guy she likes. Yet marriage is one of the best forces to blunt poverty.

Is that why New York wants rich gays to get "married"?

But gays want to disestablish and destroy marriage by dissipating and attenuating its benefits -- because heterosexual marriage is norm-affirmative and highlights gay couples' wantonness and perversity. Or, as they would put it, heteronormal marriage "hates them".

Make up your mind, Nicholas.

I think we’d be shocked to know what some (self-professed) Liberals are thinking today. Confronted with the reality that Marxism is on a full blown rampage in the U. S., they’re having to confront what this really means for them and their future generations. I am not convinced none of them are terrorized by this.

Even in a one party system, there will be people who sift out to the top, who disagree with party dogma.

We may see the Senate vote against some of Obama’s budget plans.
