The great wickedness of Liberalism, I saw, was that those who devise the ever new State Utopias, whether crooks or fools, set out to bankrupt and restrict not themselves, but others.
–David Mamet, The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture
David Maker, amazing playwright and recovered/ing liberal. Check out his play RACE if you haven’t already.
David Mamet…auto correct struck again.
David Mamet is correct; this is why the MSM is trying to destroy him. But he knows their playbook too well. He’s the David Horowitz of his profession, writer & director. The MSM better be wise & take notice; however, I just see them being sock puppets of the damned.
Yet every time you hear the president talk you’re reminded that one of the things on the GOP’s side is how the “un-informed” are all ignorant acolytes of Obama. These are the people who still think what’s at the end of Obama’s success, is everybody’s gonna be prosperous, everybody is gonna end up with a lot of money, however they get it….. Ahhhh but once they realize that the end result of Obamanomics is servitude and near-poverty, then of course they’re going to revolt against it…. Now it’s up to us as patriots to make sure that happens sooner rather than later.

There is only one way to finance liberalism and that is by confiscation of the property of others. If liberalism were of value, the free market would embrace it and thrive from it. Liberals are unhappy people at heart. They are constantly plagued with having to correct the wrongs that they envision and which then claw at their sense of “justice.”
In our time, nothing exposes liberalism more clearly than the carbon credit scam to save the planet. Liberalism imposes crushing taxation as a punishment for their devils and fabulous wealth for themselves all through the force of government. Liberalism is dictatorship by the government class and lasts only so long as there is still money to take from the taxed classes.
As usual, the liberal apparatchik and the party hierarchy feather their own nests and legislate themselves safe from what besets the common man. The code of moral relativity makes everything possible and nothing impossible for them.
Am enjoying reading his book right now.
This is actually the deep dark secret of the Big Government state: the more laws passed, the more political advantage there is in being able to hand out exemptions to those laws.
Witness Obamacare and the IRS code: both invade every corner of your life and the language is so complex it’s almost impossible NOT to violate, but if you have a friendly congressman and donate to the right party, you can have your very own personal exeption handed out.
DaveP, that’s right. That’s why the Big Government politicians love their jobs.
