[...] never stops and this my friends … single payer … is the Crown Jewel. Well, that and Tom Friedman’s autocratic “just get it done” style [...]

I don’t know about you guys but I’m gonna say it like I tell my teenage boys, bring it down to it’s simplest form. The only obstruction Obama has experienced in the last 14 months that matters is from his own party. We already have one party democracy. All the bribery and arm twisting going on has left the republicans in our republic as observers only. I honestly don’t understand how the rhetoric is allowed to continue. Rush is right when he says to let them OWN this. I’m sad about the fact that one party can blatently disregard the rules and the constitution but it’s happening, and they aren’t listening. We can only hope that our future leaders will fix ( un-do) this. If it happens… Let them own it.

Friedman has turned into a real cheerleader for China lately. At least a “one party democracy” can change via free voting, whereas a “one party autocracy” is an effective dictatorship, and can only be changed by coup d’etat or the fortuitous death of the dictators.

Don’t Obama’s five year plans qualify him for Soviet status at least?

It is the ” politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century” that have me concerned. Politically difficult policies like China’s one child per family breeding rule could be the next unpopular policy passed by the “Slaughter solution” side step.
