A QUICK WORD ABOUT “FAKE EMPIRE”

When I first heard the Nation­al’s “Fake Empire” used dur­ing the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Nation­al Con­ven­tion, I was­n’t sure if the Democ­rats quite under­stood the reflex­iv­i­ty of its use, i.e. that the Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty has been half awake in a fake empire since Sep­tem­ber 2001. It’s time some­one — or some­thing — woke them up.
