THE NANNYSTATERS: MORE PROOF THAT THE LEFT AND THE ISLAMISTS HAVE A LOT IN COMMON

THE LEFT IN THE USA HAS LONG BEEN FOND OF COMPARING CONSERVATIVES TO THE TALIBAN AND THE LIKE.

BUT THEY'RE WRONG.

ACTUALLY, THE LEFT IS MOST LIKE THE ISLAMISTS; THEY'RE BOTH STATISTS AND UTOPIANISTS WHO THINK THE STATE CAN MAKE HUMAN SOCIETY PERFECT - IF THERE WAS ONLY A STRONG CENTRAL STATE TO IMPOSE THE POLITICALLY CORRECT LAWS AND RULES AND REGULATIONS.

THIS IS WHY TOM FRIEDMAN WANTS THE USA TO BECOME "CHINA FOR A DAY".

HERE ARE TWO HEADLINE FROM TODAY;'S NEWS WHICH FURTHER PROVES THIS POINT:

Iran Unveils Approved Hairstyles

Iran has unveiled haircuts that according to officials are in line with Iranian and Islamic principles.

The new haircut models approved by Iran's Culture Ministry are aimed at preventing haircuts deemed "Western" among Iranian youth.

Barbers and men with haircuts considered "Western" and fashionable have been warned in recent years.

The unveiling of the "Islamic" haircuts comes amid a new crackdown on "bad hijab" or veiling among women and also men.

AND:

Sugary-drink ban starts to affect S.F. sites

Coca-Cola is out, and soy milk is now part of San Francisco's official city policy.

Under an executive order from Mayor Gavin Newsom, Coke, Pepsi and Fanta Orange are no longer allowed in vending machines on city property, although their diet counterparts are - up to a point.

Newsom's directive, issued in April but whose practical impacts are starting to be felt now, bars calorically sweetened beverages from vending machines on city property.

LEFTISTS AND ISLAMISTS BOTH THREATEN INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY.

CONSERVATIVES THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET WHATEVER SOFT DRINK AND HAIRCUT THEY WANT - EVEN IF THE DRINKS ARE AWFUL AND THE HAIRSTYLES WORSE.

IF YOU VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER, THEN YOU'RE VOTING FOR LESS LIBERTY.

AND LESS PROSPERITY, TOO - FOR PROSPERITY IS A BY-PRODUCT OF LIBERTY.
