China For A Day Or America For Eternity

Back in 2008, the Clown Prince of the New York Slimes' editorial page, Thomas Friedman, wrote this in his book, "Hot, Flat, and Crowded" (What's that, you say ? You haven't read it ? Most of America hasn't. Like most lib books, Hot, Flat, and Crowded was a dud. The only reason I read it is the fact that I bought it for one measly dollar at the library.) :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"That night I thought a lot about our conversation. I replayed it several times in my head, and eventually a mischevious thought occurred to me: If only...If only America could be China for a day---just one day. Just one day!" --Thomas Friedman, "Hot, Flat, and Crowded"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, I know this little quote has been beaten to death by Righty bloggers all over the blogosphere, and rightfully so, especially when Friedman follows that up with:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What would be so bad ? China ? Just for one short day ?" --Thomas Friedman, "Hot, Flat, and Crowded"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would say Tommy got his wish in November, 2008, wouldn't you ? Hasn't Chairman Obama ruled (Yes, I said ruled, and no, I'm not taking it back, either.) as if he were Hu Jintao ? Hasn't Chairman Obama acted like the head of an authoritarian leftist regime guided by the tenets of Marxism ? Unlike the talentless Keith Olbermann, who has been resurrected as Al Snore's propaganda chief, I don't bloviate to hear myself bloviate. I provide facts. During Chairman Obama's Reign of Incompetent Terror:

•He has refused to show his birth certificate proving he is eligible to be President, launching a loogie on the Constitution in the process.

•He has allowed the EPA rule by fiat.

•He has ignored the ruling of Judge Vinson in Florida, who has ruled Obamacareless unconstitutional, simply stating that the Judge was "wrong", and allowing his sycophants to implement the law anyway.

•He has taken it upon himself to declare the Defense Of Marriage Act unconstitutional, despite the fact that most Americans oppose gay marriage ( http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/issues/just_32_consider_sf_marriage_legal ), as if he is the Supreme Court of the United States.

How's that, Tommy-Boy ? Is that China enough for you ? Is that autocratic enough for you ?

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: Liberals don't give a damn about the Constitution, the legislative process, or anything else that has made America great. The only thing they care about is imposing their 2+2=5 vision on us all. They'll lie, cheat, use violence, and use every dirty trick in the book to empower themselves. Power is a powerful narcotic to the traitorous left and they're a bunch of addicts. The only way to detox them is to beat them at the polls, consistently and constantly.

The 2012 elections are rapidly approaching. Do we want another four years of "China for a day" or do we want "America for eternity" ?

The clock is ticking, America. Socialism or Freedom. Yes, it's come to that. Dear God, it has actually come to that. Never, ever, in my life did I ever believe it would come this, but that's where we stand.

God help us all.

Thomas Friedman is disgusting. I had to read his trashy book Hot Flat and Crowded a couple years ago as part of a college class about geography. There is not much that book is good for except throwing on the fire when one is out of logs.

What class was that ? Hopefully, it wasn’t a science class. That POS book is littered with so many errors I could cry.

If you don’t mind me asking, what school was this ? (Feel free to FR mail me if you’re uncomfortable announcing it to the whole world.)

It was a geography class, but the teacher took the opportunity to push lots of green trash on us students. He made us read Friedman's bs book and watch Gore's bs movie. I recall one student gushing how, "omg! I didn't realize all the such-and-such that is happening because of global warming! When I visited Greenland the other year I ha no idea it was melting beneath my feet! blah blah blah!..."
It made me so upset that this teacher was ruining other young minds not educated in the fatal flaws of the green movement.

The annoying thing was that this class was through Regent University, a Christian college. It was an online class, however, and they can call in any teacher from anywere on the globe to teach online classes. This particular teacher was based in Canada. I suppose they picked him because he claimed to be a Christian. Argh. *sigh*

It’s rank indoctrination, that’s for sure.

Was your grade in jeopardy if you went against this nonsensical ranting ?

Not too much. But the propaganda was very annoying.
