Like the Right, China’s looking at America of the 1950s and taking notes. Except we’re both reaching very different conclusions. China’s looking at the 50’s and seeing that an emphasis on education (particularly the sciences), investment in new technologies and ideas, and bringing all that to the masses is the way to becoming a true superpower.

Meanwhile, the Right looks at the 50’s and goes “Hey look! No Medicare! No EPA! Oil ruling the landscape! God enshrined and ‘socialism’ being stomped out! That’s the way we need to go!”
