#1 Sounds like ole Tommy boy is in the market for organs. Kidneys or heart been giving you problems? Relief is just one dissident execution away.

#2 Not execution. They harvest organs out of dissidents when they are alive with no anesthetic.

#3 The whole point of the progressive movement is this:

Humankind is perfectible.

If only we stupid, clueless, evil non-progressives would get out of their way, they, the truth-bearers, the enlightened ones, the smart ones, would create heaven on earth. Mama Gaia will be proud of them.

Tom Friedman wants the power to tell the rest of us what to do and how to do it, because he's smart and he has the answers. He's quite certain of that, and if for some reason he doesn't have the answer, his like-minded friends do. That you disagree with him and them means that you are wrong, and you have to get out of his and their way. If you won't do it willingly then you have to be forced.

It's for your own good. Humanity can be perfected.

The progressive movement never quite understands a key point: perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Robespierre, after all, thought that Danton was wrong, and he helped implement a Reign of Terror to convince his countrymen.

How progressive.

That's where autocracy, progressive or not, always leads. Terror. Lenin understood this better than most, and he (and Trotsky, and Stalin) used terror to advance their perfect ideas. As did Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, Napoleon, and others. The wreckers, the kulaks, the jews, the blacks, the revanchists, the infidels, the 'other', must be made to yield. Terrorize them and their families -- hell, terrorize their villages and country.

It's for your own good. Why can't you see that?

#4 Now, now. As a man who knows what's best for everybody, I think Tommy Boy would make a fine zampolit in his imaginary communist fascist democracy. And I'll bet they wouldn't even make him share that big mansion of his with the unwashed proletariat.
His only potential problem may be if that Jew "thing" commies and fascists sometimes have a problem with comes up. And that'a big "if", Tommy Boy...
