"The only way we’re going to get action, I’d suggest, is if those who stand in the way of action come to be perceived as not just wrong, but immoral ."

If I did not actually know where this quote came from; I might attribute it to maybe, a Josef Stalin? Karl Marx? Mao-Tse-Tung? Howard Dean? George Soros? A poster on The Daily Kos? Or all of the above?
Actually it is taken from a Paul Krugman opinion piece in the N.Y. Times.
It describes almost all of what is going on in Washington, now that the liberals have regained their power. It should scare the hell out of every normal American, but I’m afraid normal is losing out to hysteria today.
Speaker Pelosi actually said that she is only trying to “save the world”.
Krugman, in complete concert with such a monumentally arrogant statement, demands action and finds no problem in dismissing anyone who asks for even a debate on the issue as not only wrong; but immoral as well.
Here we have a man who has no problem denying fluids and food to a brain damaged woman until her kidneys stop functioning. That is moral.
Here is a man who finds nothing wrong with throwing a perfectly formed fetus into an incinerator to spare a woman’s inconvenience. That is moral.
Here is a guy who denounces a noble American mission in the middle-east that has freed over 50 million Muslims from tyranny as just an evil neo-con plot. That is moral.
Here is a guy who actually hates his country. He wants it remade into his image. He would gladly destroy it, if it meant he could re-make it. And, I guess, that is moral.
And here we have an ex Enron crony, alleged economist who sneers at free market capitalism, calling me immoral because I disagree with him.
It’s not enough for this fool to just let his arguments stand on their own merit, but he believes he must claim the higher moral ground, as well.
Does he understand the extent of the pain felt by middle and lower class Americans caused by the ever escalating gasoline prices? The nation runs on affordable oil, whether Krugman or Pelosi like it or not. There are no alternatives for the foreseeable future. Saying it isn’t so, does not make it so. Is it moral to cause these families to do without, so they can get their car to work daily simply because the left wants to “save the world”?
It is amazing how all liberals parrot each other. If you listen to one, you’ve heard them all.
That’s it. Sorry. I give up. I just gave myself a headache. I gotta stop reading the Times.
