Jonathan Cohn is your typical Harvard educated Progressive following in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. He denies it, but in his heart of hearts he desires to be one of our benevolent dictators. Cohn is not a nasty guy. He is likely very nice to little puppies and stray cats. I suspect he is fairly charming and amiable in person—and this is what makes individuals like him so destructive. They perceive themselves as warm, kind, and well educated. We should appreciate their power grab of our health services. After all, don’t they mean well? Aren’t Cohn and his buddies among the best and the brightest? And why in heaven’s name should they listen to any of the common folk? These humble souls probably never walked the corridors of any Ivy League school. Cohn is a wonderful human being doing the rest of us a favor.

Barack Obama, Jonathon Cohn, and the entire Democratic Party establishment are indifferent toward cost overruns and other problems associated with government run health services. They simply refuse to truly pay attention to such minor details. It gets so boring. These are merely minor glitches that will eventually be resolved in the future. The main thing is to currently seize power. Yes, they are that arrogant. One is often better off confronting a burglar or pickpocket intentionally trying to harm them. The altruistic and brilliant elites can be far more dangerous.
