Brave New Films Bravely Fails in Koch “Setup”

by | 11:45 am, November 13, 2011

Oops. “Truth-telling” filmmaker Robert Greenberg needs to find less-inept assistants. Apparently, in trying to “prove” that the Kochs are “unresponsive” to critics, Greenberg’s team made several phone calls to a Koch number in rapid succession, leaving a recorded message each time — and in a couple of cases, accidentally recording themselves after they thought they’d [...]

A common disconnect among statists

by | 12:50 pm, April 18, 2010

Denver Post columnist Susan Greene is one of my favorite progressives. Her columns are uniformly thoughtful, even when I disagree with one of her statist positions.

In her column today, “Apathy adds insult to injury,” she calls out the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) for its, well, let’s just call it ineffectiveness. (A blogger less polite than me might have used the word incompetence.)
Greene describes how the state agency has “stonewalled” a legitimate complaint, “failed miserably to offer any recourse” and mocks DORA’s claim that “consumer protection is [its] mission.”
Once again she thoroughly and effectively describes the uselessness of a government health agency. Somehow, however, she still favors government takeover of our health care system (see “Health care cruel even to those who do everything right.”)
I can not see this as anything but a complete intellectual disconnect of a very smart person between (1) the recognition of the ineffectiveness of government programs and (2) the desire for more government programs.
Statists of every strip – “progressive” to “conservative” – regularly display this disconnect.
Greene demonstrates a “progressive” example. Some “conservatives,” however, regularly lambaste the government for its ineffectiveness when it comes to social programs, then jump into the government’s lap when it comes to issues like the Patriot Act, expanding police power to search citizens, warrantless wiretapping and the regulation of private consensual acts of adults.
Classical liberals (modern libertarians) understand that the state should have less power over the individual and not more – in every single solitary instance.
Classical liberals understand that individuals are imperfect – but that the state forces imperfection upon them.
