Fareed Zakaria is not a conservative– nor is CNN. But both are floating distress signals over the ominous turn that our largest metro areas have taken and the way they have been governed
Constitutional Conservatism and Biblical Christianity in the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina
Zakaria although a liberal has his eyes lose their scales and he can now see the full picture. Too bad he is one of the few leftist who went off the reservation on the subject of blue city governance.
It’s a mess, Fred. First you have the NY Times reconsidering marijuana, and then you have Zakaria reconsidering blue city governance. I hope these are signs of a tide turning.
“…when government becomes a machine that grows faster than the society it governs.”
Has Fareed been reading my words here on this site about our being governed by a corrupt, cancerous organism?
Or just been mugged by reality?
Perhaps he feels free to make such statements, J. Sobran, because the Republicans have become nearly as bad as the socialists with regard to spending.
Well said, Triad. In line with my metaphor. The internal & external incentives and dynamics of the organism are such that who we vote for (or are manipulated to vote for) is nearly irrelevant. The organism is going to grow. That is a safe conclusion from observing the history of the US from at least the time of Bush II.
It’s a mess, J. Sobran. I wish I knew how to fix it, but of course there is no fix likely to be offered. At some point, the system will have to implode.
