EJ Dionne is Dumb and Dumber.

Another blathering, 'check the block' liberal screed from the most uncreative, unoriginal left-wing columnist writing for the socialist washington people's post. My favorite line is 'regulate the economy,' which is just another sentence in the article but when liberals are ranting and raving, they often drop lines that show what they really want, socialism. Take the money from the hard-working, successful people who earn over $100k per year - watch out middle class - and redistribute it to those who don't want to work hard and have no desire to be successful. Their success is based on accepting welfare and other 'state' benefits as soon as possible, including having multiple children out of wedlock with multiple fathers. Babies as an economic proposal. One other point, because just reading this article makes all the points necessary. If the current Supreme Court is so ultra-conservative, so strong that it will thwart all attempts of a kind and benevolent Obama administration and democratic Congress to make life kinder and gentler for the lower classes, then why did it recently allow enemy combatants access to the US legal system? Enemy combatants is a stretch because that pre-supposes we are fighting an organized enemy, when in fact we are fighting small cells and individuals who have no particular allegiance to a state but to islam at large, or the future 'caliphate' (BTW, if the caliphate were enacted globally, does Dionne realize he would be forced to convert or be killed? Would the New Deal save him then?).
