New York Times Writer Celebrates Single-Party Rule in California (Is the rest of the country next?)
Breitbart.com ^ | October 25, 2013 | James V. Lacy

The New York Times news department has apparently become the official national propaganda machine of California’s liberals in control of state government, more-or-less in the same manner as the Soviet Communist Party’s newspaper Pravda served as the official organ of that one-party state in Russia during the Cold War.

At least that’s the impression some better informed observers can come away with after reading the Time’s crack reporter Adam Nagourney’s rather unbalanced homage to the loveliness of one-party liberal rule in California's state capitol these days.

​With a sharply uncritical eye, Nagourney’s front-page above-the-fold piece in last weekend’s newspaper gushes about the wonderful “gridlock ease” in state politics as a result of the Democrats achieving supermajority status in both Houses of the State Legislature and sweeping control of every single state constitutional office in the last election. “A parade of bill signings” (as if that’s a good thing) and legislative successes now characterize Democratic-dominated Sacramento according to the article, where legislators are working together to solve problems in moderation and harmony. This is in contrast to the awful “shutdown in Washington,” where presumably Republicans still have some influence.

We’re the new Soviet Union. I knew we shouldn’t have let the public school student programmers stop teaching history in school. The kids could have figured out the condom and cucumber thing themselves. They always have.

One party state is cool. We can now choose which bathroom to use and no one can say a d*** thing. Soon - night and fog.

Nacht und Nebel. Yeah, I know. I have a brother I have to get out of there and he won't listen. Best to you.

Well, we already know one thing at least; socialism and communism always fails eventually.

Cali is lost for good now. They don’t even think like Americans there for the most part, and yes, I know FR and a lot of good conservatives still live there. I do have to wonder how long very many can last considering the tidal wave of liberalism sweeping the state these days.
