‘Michael Bloomberg, Tireless Champion of Civil Liberties’

That’s the headline at The Atlantic.

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    WOW, just WOW!

    Because he stayed on the 3×5 card of approved ideas.

    This woman, Wendy Kaminer, claims to be a libertarian.

    Then writes blog post after blog post showing that she’s just not.

    ”
    A Civil Libertarian’s Case for Giving Gun Control a Chance”

    ”
    Why Are Secular Businesses Claiming Religious Rights?”

    And my favorite, that after reading the article, she posts seriously, ”
    Politicians Are in Fact Supposed to Know What’s Best For Us”

  • Franklin

    She’s not a libertarian.
    And many civil libertarians are not. They’re intellectually and emotionally incapable of recognizing that economic liberty and individual liberty are one and the same.
    Coincidentally it’s a timely article as my daughter, who works in NYC had just emailed me the directive on behavior. Part of her business place includes a public cafeteria, thus her office was recently served the “anti Magna Carta” on beverage consumption, signed by his eminence.
    This rubbish is just about what one expects from _The Atlantic_, and gets the same trash bucket as my non- biggie sized Coke.

    What a farce. “Stop and Frisk” anyone?

    Oh, and let’s not forget Bloomberg’s war on abuse of prescription pain killers…

    You can’t even parody these people anymore.

  • kirk

    is The Atlantic staff taking their anti – psychotic medications? reads like they are off them and are fully delusional, hearing voices and repeating what the voices say.

    doomberg a champion of civil liberties? since when has the definition of ‘liberty’ been
    switched with the definition of ‘tyranny’? must have missed that rewrite.

    The Atlantic may as well change its name to The Statist.

  • Franklin

    It’s been an establishment-left mouthpiece as long as I can remember. So your new branding is apt.
