NY Times: GOP Sucks For Not Working Harder To Be Democrats

Off Their Meds, Installment 6,432.

Tommy Friedman was allowed out without supervision again and managed to produce and another stunningly oblivious assessment of the world as he perceives it to be outside of the Manhattan Media Bubble.

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.

The only logical place to go from there is to indict the one party in a Democracy that's got too much power, right?

Logical...New York Times...you see the problem.

As if paying attention to nothing he writes even while he's writing it, Friedman immediately reveals his fondest wish.

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. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. It is not an accident that China is committed to overtaking us in electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power and wind power.

So, if we could only get rid of this pesky representative republic bullshit and had some "reasonably enlightened" communists in charge we could finally get some serious work done on the Democratic platform.

And I catch grief if I impugn their motives and say the word "socialist".

The GOP is in the minority now because they tried to lean more towards the Democrats and basically alienating themselves from the majority in this country who happen to be Conservatives. They’d still be in power today if they’d stick by their voting base.

Like forced abortions, political imprisonment, state control of media, and political executions.

Seriously stunning that Friedman wrote that. Not that he thought that, just that he wrote and published it.

Iraq + huge expansion of Gov’t = Democrat victory.
