Perhaps Mr. Bush was inspired by the formal trappings of one of the last technically Communist states on earth.  Perhaps it was the proximity to China that went to his head.  History has “a long march to it”?  A long march where?  To the “shining age of liberty” that Mr. Bush has mentioned in the past?  Now what sort of people usually talk unironically about “long marches”?  Let’s see…we have Mao’s Long March, and Gramsci and cultural Marxism’s “long march through the institutions.”  Mr. Bush is beginning to make a bad habit of sounding not just like a Red Republican, but simply like a Red.
