I listen to years of liberals pushing for the socialization of our entire medical system. I listen to Robert wistfully describing nationalized telecommunications networks.

Now the Almighty State has put its foot on the neck of Wall Street. If Obama wins, the government will likely be Democratic across the board. This power will be his. The financial system may finally wind up under complete government control. The hated rich will get what's coming to them, and free candy will pour out onto the middle class from the mouth of Zardoz.

Why aren't leftists and liberals holding frigging parades and popping the champagne?

Listening to liberals wailing about creeping socialism is as funny as listening to the feminists screech about how it's wrong for a woman to hold down a difficult job when she has children to raise.

A casual observer might think the only fixed political principles some people have is to be against their political opponents, even if it's wildly inconsistent.
