You Say You Want A Revolution, Well You Know ...

Chris Matthews Calls for “Radical Solutions,” Cites Revolutionary War, Civil War as Precedent

From Verum Serum:

This is from last Friday, but I just came across it. I find this pretty stunning. Here we have a supposedly respectable commentator on MSNBC suggesting it’s time for “radical solutions” to our current economic crisis.



From Ace of Spades:

John Sexton at Verum Serum doesn't realize he's just building my Pyramid of Unifying Socialist Theory with his neat little bricks.

Compare too to Jesse Jackson Jr.'s statement that it's time for Obama to declare himself Tyrant and impose a solution on these squabbling Congressmen.

If the left wants a revolution, well, fine; then I guess we'll agree we need a revolution.

But which path? I'll choose the right-hand path over the left-hand path.

Notice how quickly the left's claimed "neutral" objection to radical politics and lack of compromise and a spirit of revolution has dissipated. Their objection was "neutral," they maintained, because they weren't taking a position (they claimed) on the political substance of this or that agenda item; they were just in favor of the supposedly politically-neutral value of incrementalism, bipartisanship, and moderation.

But they're disposing of that false pretense now. Now they're in favor of revolution, so long as it's of the socialist variety.

You say you want a revolution? Well you know, we all want to kick your ass.
