Liberal Implosion


Several days ago, VDH wrote The Libera Super Nova on his Works and Days page.  Essentially, VDH predicts liberals will face an implosion due to competing demands, chained by stringent dogma.

Last week's article sparked the following comments:

VDH is friggin’ awesome. What continues to scare me is all the “middle of the road” Dems I know who refuse to see what has happened to their party. The dyed-in-the-wool union loving, tax loving types—I expect this of them. But not some of my supposedly sane friends/acquaintances.

One friend even tied this article to a book published several years ago called, The European Dream. Along with the this scathing commentary:

The economic stuff is going to be an impossible pill to swallow. Since the 1980s I've been getting lectured by the Euro-Trash wannabees in this country about how wonderful Western Europe's system was to include books written as recently as 2005.

Wow. I'm tempted to leave a comment on that book, maybe "hows that Euro dream working out for you?"

The European dream is in good shape…that must be why all those young college-educated Greeks are returning to their podunk villages to farm and live otherwise subsistence lives in District 12.

Oh, THAT is a good name for Greece! (except they were the good guys and Greece is, well, Greece)
California perestroika (I love that…) I would note, however, that Gorby really did think the system was “fixable” much in the same way Brown does, but the Soviet took steps that ended up destroying the system—CA probably needs the same medicine.

Strong medicine indeed...
