Exhibit A: Bush:
‘Slavery a great crime’ What a leader. This, my friends, is a man with vision. Can you imagine declaring in this day and age that slavery was a great crime ? “Many of the issues that still trouble America have roots in the bitter experience of other times,” Bush said. The President didn’t mention the “Whites-Only” covenant on the title of his ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Exhibit B: Thousands rally in Hong Kong to demand free elections Tens of thousands of demonstrators gathered on Wednesday evening under a waxing moon to stand before the city’s legislature building and call for free elections and the resignation of Hong Kong’s leader… Beijing has shown no interest in letting people here play a greater role in choosing their leaders, and top Hong Kong officials have been openly hostile at times. The political leader of this city’s powerful business community declared on Wednesday that he thought the political system should continue to reserve a large role for business people because democratically elected candidates too often lacked technical expertise in legislative issues affecting companies… The minority of lawmakers who are already elected by the general public are not friendly enough to the business community…” said a Hong Kong business leader.

Again: The lawmakers elected by the general public are not friendly enough to the business community so the communist government is resisting free elections. Business community and communist government together against the popular will… woah.

There’s a funny similiarity between these cases:

“Democracy in Iran!”
“Democracy in Hong Kong!”
“Democracy in Iraq”
“Democracy in Liberia!”
“Democracy in Burma!”

Show me the money.
