The editors of the left-liberal NEWSWEEK are congratulating themselves for “accepting” and then “thinking clearly ” about the America of 2009 becoming a more socialist country. What Golda Meir once said to someone who needed a poke in the eye applies: “Don’t be so modest, you’re not that great.”
I was under the distinct impression that Newsweek’s agitprop actively helped change hearts and minds so as to bring about the “shift that began not under a Democrat but a Republican … a trend that began under President Bush, not President Obama.” At least that last fact our agitpropists got right.
The complete editorial is “We Are All Socialists Now.”
Funny how “thinking clearly” usually leads to the most idiotic conclusions…
“If you keep an open mind, people will insist on putting things in it”, If I am allowed to mangle a quote.
We are ALL socialists and we ALL believe in Hope N. Change and we ALL
believed Saddam has nukes and we ALL support the Patriot Act ….
This little segment from Monty Python’s Life of Brian captures the zeitgeist
of ALL us individuals:

When the final economic armageddon comes and I find my life savings are completely ruined, at least I got a few laughs in! Glad you liked the song.
