Argh! More Posting Promised

I've posted far less than I would like, mostly due to work. However, there is another cause: Jonah Goldberg's brilliant and important book, Liberal Fascism. Here is one brilliant summation of why liberals (the real kind) such as myself despise progressive governance:

"The village may have replaced 'the state,' and it in turn may have replaced the fist with the hug, but an unwanted embrace from which you cannot escape is just a nicer form of tyranny."

(The "village" of which he speaks is Hillary Clinton's village which it apparently takes to raise a child. This means, to Clinton, that there "really isn't any such thing as someone else's child"--her words. Yipes. New meaning to the term "nanny state"?)
