At Least Two Socialist Regimes Have Sought To Kill All People Wearing Glasses

Pro-Government Extremists Calling For Government Takeover of Agriculture in Response to California Drought
Socialist writer Lindsay Abrams again trumpets central planning and government supremacy in a recent column. California’s long drought, Abrams writes, justifies a total government takeover of agriculture by the State of California, if not the U.S. government.: But then in the long term, the state has to rethink agriculture, basically. The problem is that that’s …

University disciplinary proceedings have become “snakepits of injustice”
“Conservative” columnist Matt Vespa has written an essay about the sad state of “due process” at many modern government universities. Of course, colleges operated by the government are supposedly bound by basic constitutional rules of procedural fairness. The Constitution forbids stage agencies and enterprises from depriving anyone of “life, liberty or property” without due process. …
