Stinking Perfectly By A.J. DiCintio
Let’s be clear about “Democracy in America,” Roger Cohen’s New York Times piece about the recent referendum in Venezuela: It is a perfectly foul addition to the universe of stupid, dangerous idealism and hateful condemnations of “Ugly America” that flow continually from sick Liberal minds.
Being perfect, the essay doesn’t waste a bit of time in spraying its odor as its first five words sing, “I salute you, Hugo Chávez.”
Why this solemn gesture to a megalomaniac Castro clone? Well, Mr. Cohen never thought “it possible that a Latin American strongman” would “accept a marginal electoral defeat.” Moreover, he was swept off his feet (a metaphor for a cognitive disorder to which all Liberals are genetically disposed) by the Jeffersonian sincerity of Hugo’s announcement that “The people’s decision will be upheld in respect of the basic rule of democracy: the winning option is the one that gets most votes.”
