Tom Friedman Says China Is So Awesome

The Suggestion That Liberals Aren't Moralizers Is So Preposterous It Makes It Hard For Me To Take Any Of Them Seriously When They Wax Indignant About "moralizers." Almost Every Day, They Tell Us What Is Moral Or Immoral To Think And To Say About Race, Taxes, Abortion - You Name It. They Explain It Would Be Immoral For Me To Spend More Of My Own Money On My Own Children When That Money Could Be Spent By Government On Other People's Children. In Short, They Think Moralizing Is Fine. They Just Want To Have A Monopoly On The Franchise.

The Logical Upshot Of Liberalism's Hatred Of Hypocrisy Is That It Is Better For The Liar To Champion Lying, The Glutton To Advocate Gluttony, The Adulterer To Celebrate Adultery, Than For Someone To Preach The Right Thing If He Himself Occasionally Does The Wrong Thing. Better To Let Your Failings Define You And Be Happy About It, Than To Let Your Ideals Define You But Then Fall Short Of Them, For That Opens You Up To The Charge Of Hypocrisy.
