RE: Of course Happy Days will be here again as soon as Broward County is run like Wal-Mart. Some comments on your, alas, unlinkable column on how bigger is better in today’s Sun Sentinel.

My dear Professor,

You seem to have had a mega-dose of the modern American Liberal Kool-Aid, the potion that says Midnight Basketball is good and that tossing octogenarian World War 2 veterans out of their wheel chairs for daring to visit their DC monuments, the ones that they paid for with their blood, tears, toil, and sweat, is better.

I had to get half-way through your “Life is so unfair because Republicans are such rotten bastards” before you made a surprise confession.

“…for every local, there is a yokel.”

Modern American Liberals mankind, humankind, and peoplekind; It’s people, individual people, Joe the Plumber comes to mind, that they can’t stand.

Anyone who dares to disagree with you isn’t just wrong. They are evil. If they aren’t Screwtape evil it is because they are too stupid. Plus they are racist, homophobic, gun loving, climate change deniers who watch Duck Dynasty and use John Rawls books for up and close and personal hygiene.

Logic would dictate that if your plan to consolidate Broward County into 9 “seamless structures” where the trains, once we borrow more money from the meretricious Mandarins to build them, will run on time, the plan should go national.

Doubtless, the first Mayor of Broward County will be named Benito. That’s Benito, as in Benito Mussolini. You may recall that Il Duce was the darling of modern American Liberals in the early to mid-thirties. Look it up.

I went to school in South Orange, NJ. I lived in Orange, NJ. I worked in East Orange, N J. Our children were raised in West Orange, NJ. The paradigmatic template of modern American Liberalism, the one to which you have sworn eternal fealty, the one that compels you to demand that the walls between Wilton Manors and Lazy Lake be torn down, must apply there..

How about No Navel Orange?

The same for North Carolina and South Carolina? Adios to North Carolina and South Carolina? Say goodbye to West Hampton, East Hampton, and South Hampton.

You say that Broward County needs to tear itself down to build itself up or “nothing will ever change”.

Isn’t that what Robespierre and Lenin said at the start of their revolutions? We got the guillotine from the Frogs and 70 years of Gulags and the Rosenbergs from the Russkies. Didn’t Lyndon Johnson say the same thing as he led the country into war? No, I don’t mean Vietnam. I mean the no exit strategy War on Poverty. That one. The one that’s still being fought.

If there is a more modern American Liberal political entity, with the possible exception of Zabar’s this coming Sunday morning or Barbra Streisand’s house with its gnoshing soirees, in America I would like to be told of it.

The modern American Liberal control of Broward County is so overwhelming that Dr. Mengele would be elected because of his progressive views on abortion. OJ Simpson is taking on-line courses to be ready to stand for election as soon as he gets out.

How did Broward County get so bad?

Did Republicans, financed by the Koch Brothers, sneak in at night and FUBAR Miriam Oliphant? How about Sheriff Jenne, AKA Emperor Kenneth the Short? Josephus Eggelettion? Beverly Gallagher? Mandy Dawson? Alcee Hastings? Scott Cowan? Sylvia Poitier? Dereck Salesman? The Chaits and about a dozen elected pols Diana Wasserman-Rubin and spouse? The Krafts? A judiciary where justice has to be blind lest it go mad?

Broward County is the land of palms, all of which are turned up. It reminds me of Hudson County minus the snow and the moral clarity.

Those poltroons couldn’t lie straight in bed.

I can wait for them to take over.

You can’t.

PS – Commissioner Atkins-Grad was acquitted because her defense – “I am a moron and a fucking idiot” – worked. Good for her.
