"NSA Director Keith Alexander, testifying before the Senate this week admitted he's not qualified to protect us from terrorism." He said " I have a limited imagination and can only come up with one illegal solution to the problem".

All he has is a hammer so every problem looks like a nail.

Just the first two sentences of this article disqualify this shill from being taken seriously. The claim that Obama "justified elevating bureaucrats over entrepreneurs" is a disingenuous straw man.Obama is not doing that. Obama's speech is a direct response to the republican party line that:

1. Taxation is bad
2. Regulation is bad
3. Unions are bad

Obama is correct in saying that no one succeeds in a vacuum. The wealthiest need the government protections, regulations and infrastructure to succeed. The fact that they enjoy these benefits, but don't want to pay for them is understandable (many of them are psychopaths), but the the rest of us should not allow them to get away without paying their fare share. This is not elevating bureaucrats, it's recognizing the legitimate power of the government and the people of a republic.

This isn't just a "study out of Canada". It's a study of Canadian university students. So maybe it's being Canadian and not being on facebook that makes these subjects such mutants. I'll bet it's their national healthcare that does it. Freaky progressives is what they are.
