In my opinion there are some things that are representative of politicians in general and of liberals in particular. Following are excerpts of an opinion article in today's Naples Daily News, written by Thomas Sowell. Sorry if it is so long, but I wanted to include enough of the article to make sure that the thought line is able to be followed.
I also expect the "liberal hammer" to fall on me about this, from some on this forum, so let it fall.

"There is an old Russian fable, with different versions in other countries, about two poor peasants, Ivan and Boris. The only difference between them
was that Boris had a goat and Ivan didn't. One day, Ivan came upon a strange looking lamp and, when he rubbed it, a genie appeared. She told Ivan that she could grant him one wish, but it could be anything in the world.
Ivan said, " I want Boris' goat to die."
Too many people are like Ivan, who wanted Boris' goat to die. . . . .
