Chris Christie. Socialist
What really boggles my mind is this: Chris Christie says he is a conservative Republican and hopes he will take that ideology all the way to the White House in 2016. Conservative Republicans rail against what they often call “social engineering” by public institutions that try to ameliorate social problems.
That’s why they don’t like public schools and fair housing laws and zoning ordinances and environmental restrictions and business regulations and school desegregation and all manner of other efforts by government to level the playing field.
Yet what is going on Newark right now is the most blatant experiment in social engineering ever undertaken by a public agency in any state in my half-century of experience. Christie’s agent, Cami Anderson, is deciding on her own–through the use of a mysterious “algorithm” she won’t make public–to place children in a variety of school settings whether they want to be there or not.
And, laughably, she calls this choice. And so does Chris Christie, the man who appointed her, the closet Socialist candidate for president of the United States.
And Christie cooked up this plan with Cory Booker who has portrayed himself as a progressive. We all know that good, red-,eat eating Republicans think “progressive” is just a euphemism for socialist. Hell, Booker–well, sometimes–supports President Barack Obama and every good Republican knows Obama is a socialist. Of course, some might argue that Booker is a closet conservative Republican.
