Paglia not only sees it, she is broadcasting it, and probably will be Rahmed soon....They will NOT stand to see the Whiner made to look more of a Whiner.... Paglia: " I was stunned at the failure of liberals to see the blatant totalitarianism in this incident, which the president should have immediately denounced. His failure to do so implicates him in it."

One of the problems cited for Obamacare is the public option, with the criticism being that a public insurance plan, with its subsidies, would drive private insurers out of business. Yesterday, on NPR, I heard a liberal advocate of this health care reform plan opine that the above argument is specious. His rationale was that our public post office competes against UPS and FedEx and they are in no danger in going out of business. Do you (or anyone else here) agree that these two cases are analogs, or do you see differences?

Couldn't have said it any better! But somehow liberals have drifted into a strange servility toward big government, which they revere as a godlike foster father-mother who can dispense all bounty and magically heal all ills. The ethical collapse of the left was nowhere more evident than in the near total silence of liberal media and Web sites at the Obama administration's outrageous solicitation to private citizens to report unacceptable "casual conversations" to the White House. If Republicans had done this, there would have been an angry explosion by Democrats from coast to coast. I was stunned at the failure of liberals to see the blatant totalitarianism in this incident, which the president should have immediately denounced. His failure to do so implicates him in it.
