The Leftist’s Ideal

The American Left would like America to be more like China. Senator Joe Leiberman (I-Conn.) said as much when touting the need for his Internet Kill Switch bill, which would give the President the authority to shut down the Internet in a time of national emergency.

Well, here is what goes on in China, as reported last week in London’s Daily Telegraph:

Parents who believed their children died in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake because school buildings were shoddily-built petitioned the Chinese government to release its findings in a post-earthquake investigation. About 60 parents that were attempting to deliver the petition were instantly arrested by police.

“The police came right away and took us away,” said one parent, who managed to flee.

In a related story, a Chinese activist who conducted his own investigation into the earthquake—and who had previously written about the violent 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square—was sentenced to five years in prison in February for subversion.

The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman once wrote: “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… Our one-party democracy is worse.”

That’s where the Leftists would have us go.

I once saw two articles in the same newspaper about China. The first one was on the front page. It was about a news reporter “forgetting” a camera on a park bench in Peiking. It was still there several hours later. He was impressed with the honesty of the Chinese. Several politicians were calling for Americans to learn that type of honesty.

In the same paper in a little item in the middle of the paper where most people never see was another article about “honesty” in China. A man walking down the road picked up two half rotted apples laying in a ditch after they had fallen off a tree and ate them. He had both hands cut off for “theft”.

Now tell me. Do you REALLY want to follow the Chinese line of political action?

Liberman has been to ALL the Bilderburg meetings. He wants a one world government – tyranny. Don’t think for a moment he’s a friend of Americans.

Thanks Connecticut for sending this Howdy Doody piece of leftist crap to help destroy this nation!

Leftists live in their own little utopian fantasy world. Unfortunately for them - and everyone else for that matter - their malignant narcissm and serial nihilism paves the way for the gangs of ruthless mem - the Will-to-Power driven Killers Without Conscience. They are driven by their insatiable desire for control over every sphere of human thought and endeavor; you can neither appease their lust nor negotiate with them and stll call yourself human. .

Is it really possible to “turn off” the internet?
