On being ruled by fanatics…

Here’s an excerpt from a must-read essay by James Lewis that you can access by clicking here:

“[Obamacare] is the result of fanaticism, not balanced thinking. That seems to be President Obama’s way. This White House defines a goal like Arab-Israeli Peace in the Middle East, or Health Care for All, and goes hell for leather, damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead — without ever pausing to think, or to listening to people who have spent decades dealing with these questions — if they dissent from Obama orthodoxy. Any opposition is interpreted as bad faith rather than reasoned disagreement. Critics must be evil or racist.  That is the state of mind of jihadis going on suicide missions. It is not how intelligent policy makers operate.”
