Typically, we have a right wing guy taking something out of context. Freidman's column was making the point that by essentially withdrawing from government, the Republican Party has created a de facto one-party state in America, but alas, one not able to accomplish anything at all thanks to the chaos the Republicans have introduced into the political system. If Mr. Bell has an objection to a one-party state, why does he belong to the political movement that has created one here in America?
