Familiar with the straight-down-the-line Democratic Party shilling that makes up Anna Quindlen’s typical fare in Newsweek, I couldn’t believe the subheadline of her latest column:
In the future, all presidential candidates should be sent to a secure, undisclosed location with lemonade and some Adam Smith.
Huh? Adam Smith? A font of classical liberal, free-market ideas? Anna Quindlen believes presidential candidates should imbibe some material that would make them question big-government, collectivist schemes?
Fear not, ye illiberals. Ms. Quindlen says nothing about Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, or Friedrich von Hayek in her column. While the subheadline suggests a pretty good idea, it’s not an idea you’ll find in the column that follows.
