A great new book is out and it’s devastating to the Liberals with their “we will take care of you” concept of government.
The Liberal Mind, by Dr Lyle Rossiter is an analysis of how Liberals believe they can achieve “equality” by denying freedom and equality to society.
I highly recommend this engaging book. 5 stars out of a possible 3.
Continuing its’ efforts to woo foreign visitors to the 2008 Chinese Summer Olympic Games, China’s Prime Minister Wen Jiabao signaled strongly in a meeting with top Communist officials Tuesday, he would move to make beer and pizza “the official health foods” of China.
The move came as no surprise to long-time China-watchers: “We know everything about China,” said long-time China-watcher Daniel Hellings, sitting beside his partner, Lauren. “If we didn’t know everything, they’d fire us.”
Newspapers and television carried little news of the Prime Minister’s new plans for amending the Chinese national diet. But there were subtle clues bold changes were afoot:
A gigantic banner for Dominoes Pizza was hung over the mammoth portrait of Communist China’s founding father, the much-revered Chairman Mao Tse-tung in the bustling Tiannamen Square ; the Forbidden City Starbucks posted fresh ads for Starbucks Pizza, a menu feature that was cut from menus only a few months earlier; members of the Peoples’ Chinese Revolutionary Army were seen instructing farmers on how to plant tomatoes, green peppers, and mushrooms in the Chinese countryside, in preparation for expected mass orders of the “Peoples’ Revolutionary Veggie Slice,” which is to be sold at Games events.
Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi congratulated Jiabao on his choice of pizza as China’s new national dish. “When I was a baby, my mother would give me, at first, just a tiny piece of pizza. And now, it has become a food for all the world – I am so happy,” he said, clearly overwhelmed.
