re: #281 RogueOne

No one is stuck in the cold war.

Sure they are. Just look at all the fearmongering from Beck and the other howler monkeys about the looming socialist Islamic caliphate and the inability of people in the Middle East to understand or embrace the idea of democracy.

It’s the same kind of shit that the right said about people living in the Soviet bloc back in the Cold War. Back then, we were in danger of an atheistic, communist state overtaking the world, with the Kremlin spread far and wide, and people in Soviet countries couldn’t understand freedom and democracy because they were alien ideologies.

It’s no surprise that to appeal to these people, Mitch Daniels would couch a speech about debt in rhetoric about a Red Menace.
