NASA's James Hansen Adores China's Authoritarian Government Ways

The iron fist of government is not a system I want to live in. For NASA's James Hansen, he believes the United States should be more like China. Nothing like turning Times Square into Tiananmen Square, right Mr. Hansen?

Hansen boasted of China's advantage over the United States and it all comes down to the authoritarian government of China over the freedom of America.

“I have the impression that Chinese leadership takes a long view, perhaps because of the long history of their culture, in contrast to the West with its short election cycles,” writes Hansen. “At the same time, China has the capacity to implement policy decisions rapidly. The leaders seem to seek the best technical information and do not brand as a hoax that which is inconvenient.”

In other words, the ability of a free people to elect leaders gets in the way for a statist's agenda.
