” Liberals claim to be pro-choice, but only if that choice means the choice to kill an unborn infant or not. Lightbulb and dietary choices? That decision can’t be left up to the people. Raw milk? What are you thinking? Sending your kids to a school of your own choice? What are you, racist?”

Howard Aiken said these oh so true words:

“Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.”

One thing I learned in decades of working in corporate America and attending a highly rated graduate business school is that Mr. Aiken understated the problem.

Oh, and yes, to answer the question of the fellow in the back waving his arm and squirming in his seat, the inverse is true.

My personal credo as a libertarian conservative: I think all attempts to reform your fellow-citizens or tell them how to live their lives are arrogant and tyrannical. THAT’S why I oppose Leftism. I want people to be free to manage their own lives. “Reform” is just authoritarianism. People are not playthings for anybody’s theories or obsessions.

Roger Simon:

“The real reason liberals accuse Tea Partiers of racism is that contemporary American-style liberalism is in rigor mortis. Liberals have nothing else to say or do. Accusations of racism are their last resort.”
