Liberal Crackup

While America's liberal elite have not reached the depths of tyrants such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler, they share a common vision and, as such, differ only in degree but not kind. Both denounce free markets and voluntary exchange. They are for control and coercion by the state. They believe they have superior wisdom to the masses and they have been ordained to forcibly impose that wisdom on the rest of us. They, like any other tyrant, have what they see as good reasons for restricting the freedom of others. 
Don't like Obamacare? You're a racist. Don't like taxes and regulations? You're a right wing nut job. Don't like the wars? You're not a patriot. Don't like spending and debt? You're an economic doofus. 

So say our rulers and many in the government controlled media. Walter Williams begs to differ.
