… and shows that you represent just another form of Tyranny. From Jonah Goldberg of The Corner (emphasis mine):
It’s a little bizarre how the Left has always conflated statism with modernity and progress. The idea that rulers — be they chieftains, kings, priests, politburos, or wonkish bureaucrats — are enlightened or smart enough to tell others how to live is older than the written word. And the idea that someone stronger, with better weapons, has the right to take what is yours predates man’s discovery of fire by millennia. And yet, we’re always told that the latest rationalization for increased state power is the “wave of the future.”
That phrase, “the wave of the future,” became famous thanks to a 1940 essay by Anne Morrow Lindbergh. She argued that the time of liberal democratic capitalism was drawing to a close and the smart money was on statism of one flavor or another — fascism, Communism, socialism, etc. What was lost on her, and millions of others, was that this wasn’t progress toward the new, but regression to the past. These “waves of the future” were simply gussied-up tribalisms, anachronisms made gaudy with the trappings of modernity, like a gibbon in a spacesuit.
Statism – the idea that “The State” (e.g., the Government as opposed to Civil Society and individuals) should play more and more of a role in determining the choices that individuals can make. Yes, Zandra, this is why you were sent to New Hampshire and why you are paid by out of state folks – your self-proclaimed mantra of “social justice” is just a phrase for the rubes to think they are getting from others for nothing (and feeling good about reclassifying “stealing” as “it’s owed me” via the point of a pen); you know full well that you are working towards the end point of the Progressive movement: the Administrative State – stocked with all those non-partisan experts who are only concerned in being our benevolent rulers.
Sorta like what we’ve seeing lately in the IRS – lots of those non-partisan types there, treating every one equally with regard sex, color, national origin, economic class, sexual orientation, religion, and political outlook.
Oh wait!
As a quick followup to the Global Warming antics of Senator Jeanne Shaheen that I 
U.S. will supply arms to Syrian rebels. 
Talking about Maple Syrup and Maple Syrup production has become an annual affair, only because the ideologically motivated New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D- EMILY’s List), used the sticky stuff as part of a charade to pull at voters ignorant heart-strings. Had she never brought it up I’d have little or no reason to mention it all. But the fact that she was wrong, demands that we add yet more content for Goggle to unearth whenever folks enter the search terms “Shaheen, Maple Syrup.”
