The liberal intellectual at work

Salon, the strongly left-leaning website with a large following, has published a piece by Harvard Professor and Clinton cabinet member, Robert Reich.  Reich blames gridlock and all our other assorted problems these days on the cynicism of the Republicans who have single-handedly destroyed the public's faith in government as a solution to our manifold problems, past and present.  This is classic liberal reasoning, projection, and madness all rolled into one intellectual professor who, like the rest of his breed, really does not understand how the world works.  Somehow Reich is unable to come up with one single discrete occasion when Democrats may have been at fault for our present plight. It's all about the Republicans and their corporations wanting to get rid of all those pesky limitations on their freedom to plunder the downtrodden and have everything for themselves.  And these are the types Democrat administration after administration keeps bringing in to public service in order solve our problems and put us on the path to the correct way of conducting our civic and economic life. Wow, no wonder!  Of particular interest to this link to Reich's column is the letter of response from someone who signs himself as "Wang, Dang, Doodle".  It is truly on the money riposte and well worth reading.  Viva sound thinking!
