Say No to Sycophantism

Lee Harris at TCS Daily asks "Why Isn't Socialism Dead?" <http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=050506I>

Well, perhaps because American democracy as illustrated by the current administration has shown nothing besides hubris and double standards as it relates to the rest of the world. Perhaps because this administration, in its pursuit of spreading democracy, has lost sight of what it means to be a democratic nation. We would like to think of our country as a role model for the rest of the world, but alas our leaders provide ample material for the socialists and communists and dictators of the world to shred any doubts in the minds of their people that America stands for imperialistic profit-making and does what is economically expedient regardless of the loss of life, damage to the environment, etc etc.
