Despite this article written in June of 2013 this is highly illustrative of pro-elite, big business/big government Republican/Democrat mind set of today.

Wicked Witch!

Lunch With Dorothy Rabinowitz: How Citi Bikes and Jon Stewart Are Ruining America

Dorothy Rabinowitz, the Pulitzer Prize–winning writer, editor, and member of The Wall Street Journal’s famously conservative editorial board, favors lunch at her favorite sushi restaurant near the Greenwich Village apartment where she has lived since 1972. 

But when we sat down, she wasn’t ready to talk bicycles just yet. After ordering salmon roe and a tuna roll, she mused about the can-do spirit of the postwar America she knew growing up in Queens and the sense of optimism that has “just been abraded” and replaced by “a distinct kind of disaffection” with everything except for the self-absorption and government-hatred that now passes as political action. She finds it all “so bizarre.”

DYI:  Finds it so bizarre?  Small government was the main stay of our Founding Fathers and yet despite all her years on the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal has there on peep about the missing 21 Trillion dollars over the past 20 years from Housing Urban Development and the Department of Defense.  If there was I never heard about it.  With numbers this big you would think the Wall Street Journal would champion this redress of massive government corruption.  Moving on….

By extension, the NSA leaker Edward Snowden (“a little narcissist”) and “the pack of idiots” that see him as their hero were also on her mind. “Surveillance is important in the war against terror, which exists,” she said. “Snooping into what? Most sane people would say, ‘Go ahead, look at my e-mail correspondence, what do I care? As long you stop the bombers in Boston.’ I mean, that is the normal, visceral American response.”

DYI: Now we have a five for one sale with the government reading ALL of our e-mail, buttresses the false narrative of war on terror, props up the totally FAKE AS HELL Boston bombing as a beta site if the Americans will tolerate Marshal Law, which they did with open arms.  What a freedom loving gal!  This woman is a Fascist that is so typical of the elites and BOTH political parties.  Lastly those who are intolerant of mass government surveillance [or individually without due process] are now labeled as a “pack of idiots?” 

Rabinowitz said she has no patience for the “political orthodoxy” that the government is broken, especially when that notion is advanced by “right-wing crazies.” She is no fan of Ron or Rand Paul or their ilk. She called the battle between far-right and moderate Republicans (e.g., Nelson Rockefeller versus Barry Goldwater) traditional stuff. “This is different,” she said of libertarian, isolationist right-wing thinkers, whom she calls “the biggest danger now” and “the absolutely worst force ever.”

DYI: Wow!  Ron Paul is about as close to the vision of our Founding Fathers, but no she will have none of that crazy talk.  My God woman peace just might break out over substantial part of the world along with prosperity breaking free millions from the chains of poverty.

So, on to the bike situation in New York City. She recalled the May day the Citi Bike racks first appeared and how she almost leaped out of a taxi when she saw them. At first she didn’t know what she was looking at, but as the cab went further into the Village, she understood. On her block, people were panicking, she said. They were saying things like, “Is this really going to be in front of my apartment?” “I realized it was like some science-fiction thing,” Ms. Rabinowitz recalled. “The pods have landed, only they’ve landed with the racks, and they’re coming with allies called bicyclists. The activating force behind all of the fury was the racks, instruments of aesthetic torture.” 

She describes being approached by strangers on the street, grateful to her speaking out. “People walk up to me and say, ‘I’m so glad you said that about the bikes.’ I say, ‘What the hell are we whispering about? What is this, East Germany?’ But it’s an instinct, because what can we do about it?”

DYI: The author of the article George Gurley can’t help himself as he must expose – either with disgust or glee – Dorothy Rabinowitz for who she real is; nothing more than a Fascist the likes of the Stassi [secret police] of East Germany who are now in control Germany.

This is now moving at light speed.  If the current trends towards flat out Fascism continues unabated America will be unrecognizable within ten years or less.

P.S.  The Jon Steward title was nothing more than a come on at the time to get people to read this propaganda piece.
