That's certainly true, with say the American Protective League, but the Creel Committee, the War Industries Board, that was more his
sentiment, those were the sentiments that seemed to have been
at least temporarily banished in the 20s, with the possible exception
of the Lafollette campaign
Actually they were pulling for health care, cap n trade, and the like, they were the ones behind the expansive Homeland Security department that to consider everyone a potential terrorist, They not only support the IRS, but are for more comprehensive tax schemes, 'that eat at our substance', where in may cases they do not abide by these same rules. For the legitimate functions of national defense, and domestic security, they obstructed every successful program, that kept an eye on the real enemy. They bandied about the rumor of reintroducing conscription, despite the counterproductive nature of it
Wait isn't the game the Soviets were playing at least since 1930, against the Social Democrats, crowding out the Nazis. or Harry Truman back in '48, saying the GOP 'were the same folks that gave us Tojo and Mussolini,' or Goldwater or Nixon, or Reagan, or Bush or in her more
unhinged moments, Erica Jong from her peninsular retreat, the specter of Palin, Sullivan has take up the cudgel , in as close to a comlplimentary way. A staffer on Humphrey's committee, put out something called Friendly Fascism
In fact, it is much easier to see the word 'teabagger' in political parlance with the fully intended obscene connotation from the
Urban Dictionary, a vile concoction right up with the Necromicon.
Now according to one poll, among the young, socialism is slightly
favored as a descriptive, and capitalism is slightly negative. This
is a sign that something has gone wrong among the younger cohort
O'Reilly lost a lot of his credibility with his very weak interview of Obama during the campaign, and his continued hemming and hawing
and who and what Obama's objectives are. Beck is at times enfuriating
and enlightening, Rush is generally positive, in contrast with Beck, a more 'interesting' time demands it's own interlocutor. One listens to them, because the contrast with the 'main stream media' is galling,
"Candide's the best of all possible worlds" is the closest way to describe. Or they are reporting from the alternate Fringe world with
the Zeppelins, and the Twin Towers are still standing
Well Matt X, I don't put CK in the same category as a FrumDreher, a Brooks, a Moran, a Douthat, and the like. He set himself apart from the
pack in the GR, along with Dab yn Hugh, our very own J.E. Dyer, and
the other undead denizens. Wilson shares many of the same 'epistemic
closure' issues as the current incumbent
It's a polemic, certainly, but as supposed to what sober analytical work on the left or even the center left. I'm sure there is one, somewhere out there, or an even handed analysis of recent foreign
policy challenges say 2001-2009
Well to paraphrase a line from the original film to which they will doubtlessly make a terrible sequel 'how much is enough' because they keep moving the line, as relates to why they call it progressive. For it's opponents, it's like the Brezhnev doctrine on any of the left's principles.
Hence we can't drill off any Coast, regardless how many brownouts, gas shortages, et al, if you're in the Central Valley, get used to the taste of worms, because the smelt prevents farming.
You, CK, seem to be setting strawman ablaze and calling it smoke, how did we have education in this country before 1965, or any environmental enforcement, as for law enforcement isn't the argument
there that the law was been too aggresive enforced
Is anyone pushing for the reinstitution of child labor, I don't recall that as even a minor plank in any of the prospective candidates. Jonah who's a little tongue in cheek in his formulations, but he has caught
the attention of some serious people. Pestritto, who is Jonah's source
material is less accessible but like Burt Folsom on the New Deal's failure
is necessary
As opposed to the establishment, who was willing to carry Romneycare on their back, and muted their opposition to Obamacare, hence we enter a "New Ice Age" as one of their spokesmen, proudly announced. Newt, had a lot of misteps, I'll freely admit, but it was in part the demagoguery that made the 'sauna of sordidness' much more palatable from '97 on,
Are you already, dumping on Paul Ryan, CK, or do you think he's just faking it, neo empire, well it's about time that the Europeans pay their
freight, but have those muscles atrophied over time, that is Steyn's
(among others) Embarking on Obamacare, which sadly will overhang the next few years, even with partial repeal, which is what will be plausible in the near term, this btw, was the tactic used on Gingrich
and co, to discourage even moderate retrenchment on social spending, I'm surprised you're using it
The reverse is quite true, LG, we are quadruplying the debt, while effectively downgrading our military committments, our domestic
programs are crowding out our more substantial and constitutional
ones, I can't think that is not on purpose, and the consequences of same, in the not too distant future
Jonah's not a cultural reactionary, too many TRek and Simpsons references, for that. Derbyshire might be, despite that stint asa double on a Bruce Lee film; Irish Spenglerianism. But the question
is raised where are the guide rails. Wilson was still a social conservative
despite his economic progressivism, LBJ less so, Clinton who knows,
Had they been smart, they might have chosen this last time, and
not have had such a spectacular collapse, in their prognosis
Lol, CK, as Smedley Butler tells us, likely Roosevelt or Taft would have intervened in Haiti, because it's all about the banks don't you know, forget about Guillaime Sam, being hacked to death on the doorstep ofthe presidential palace,since he got the fate we keep saving Aristide from,without much thanks for. Tampico and Veracruz would have been too isolated to hold as US territories. Turtledove's alternate history of a bisected United States, taking it through the First and the Second World War, would disabuse some of the progressive suspicions of TR, but that is counterfactual after all.
The Income Tax, was suppposed to be the substitute for the tariff, which in part was said to accelerate these boom to bust cycles,
not much evidence of it's success there,.
Without Wilson you don't have FDR, or the Haitian invasion, or Breckenridge Long. likely you might not have the Dulles brothers since they got their job under Secretary Lamont. We might have gotten into the War earlier and likely left earlier
