Who wants to be a toddler forever? How much freedom are we willing to give up in order to be “safe”?
Isn’t this shameful? Unworthy? What’s happened to our self-respect? Do we really want The Government to “take care of us,” as if we were just children?
Guaranteed: a government that powerful will turn into a predatory beast, constantly seeking whom it might devour.
(I am running so far behind today, I just don’t have time to sort through all the rumors that must now suffice us for the news. Meanwhile, it won’t hurt to repeat this post: it’s still true.)
It must be clearly understood that leftism is a kind of pseudo-religion, much given to fanaticism, oblivious to both truth and common sense, and a very present threat to social sanity.
Yeah, the government’s gonna do all those wonderful things that God never got around to doing, and all it takes is infinite money, infinite coercion, and The Smartest People In The World calling all the shots. If only we give them enough power over us, they’ll give us paradise on earth.
And I am the Sultan of Swat.
Why isn’t this man rich?
Somehow “income inequality” failed to become the hot campaign issue of the 2016 election–probably because it looks so freakin’ ridiculous when some gazillionaire politician complains about it and says that you, the hard-pressed taxpayer, ought to shell out more money so they can lavish it on ne’er-do-wells and sluggards.

Why do people in government make such preposterously extravagant claims? “We’re gonna create income equality! We’re going to stop the climate from changing! We’re gonna to direct the course of human evolution!”
Are these people quite all there?
And what’s wrong with us, that we allow liars and mountebanks to lord it over us?
