Ezra Klein is one of the key “journo-list” guys. Everything he says should be considered based on his membership in that very left wing group.
That's right, Ez. Ezra is like a parrot. He can say the words, but apparently he doesn't understand what they mean."The rather toxic implication of this proposal is that one side respects the Constitution and the other doesn't."
That implication certainly is "rather" toxic. But it is the direct implication not of this proposal in isolation but of the explicit words of people on "the other side" when they said that "You have to pass the bill in order to see what is in it" and "We can do anything we want."Son, that is toxic. In November you got an indication of how toxic that can be to "the other side's" chances of winning election in any jurisdiction where a majority of the electorate actually thinks of themselves as free, responsible adults.
The scariest thing of all is that millions of people can't comprehend the danger we are in.
Don't watch the old Kevin McCarthy movie version of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It'll scare the wits out of you. And it takes place in California! I'm not convinced that it wasn't a documentary.
"In 1984, George Orwell referred to this as 'duckspeak'."
I missed that. Orwell's writings are so packed with predictions--it's no wonder that we can't take it all in.
George Orwell is emerging as a more powerful predictor of things to come than Jules Verne.
I cannot disagree.
