2013: Welcome to Very, Very Scary Times | Works and Days
By Victor Davis Hanson 2013-01-02T00:02:36
Repeal the Second Amendment, the part about guns anyway. It’s badly written, confusing and more trouble than it’s worth. ... Declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal. Hey! We did it to the Communist Party, and the NRA has led to the deaths of more of us than American Commies ever did. …Then I would tie Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, our esteemed Republican leaders, to the back of a Chevy pickup truck and drag them around a parking lot until they saw the light on gun control.
Turning to a column in The New Republic, John Judis, in honest fashion, more or less puts all the progressive cards on the table in a column titled “Obama's Tax Hikes Won't Be Nearly Big Enough” -- a candor about what the vast $5 trillion deficits of Obama’s first term were all about in the first place.
The Constitution -- Who the Hell Needs It?
The third item in my year-end reading was the most disturbing. A law professor (could it be otherwise?) named Louis Michael Seidman enlightens us with “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution” -- yet another vision of what the now triumphant liberal mind envisions for us all:
Note Seidman’s use of “evil," which tips his hand that our great moralist is on an ethical crusade to change the lives of lesser folk, who had the misfortune of growing up in America -- a place so much less prosperous, fair, and secure than, say, Russia, China, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Spain, Greece, Italy, or Japan and Germany (in the earlier 20th century history) . When I lived in Greece, traveled to Libya, and went into Mexico, I forgot to sigh, “My God, these utopias are possible for us too, if we just junked that evil Constitution.”
