Matt Walsh: Ugh: Crist populism for 4 years

We are in for a long four years. We're in deep, deep trouble when our new governor begins taking the stage with lefty Sheryl Crowe at global warming rallies and quoting Teddy Roosevelt. He did both in one week.Crist invoked the latter when he responded April 27 to an editorial in The Wall Street Journal that spanked him for his populist insurance reforms, chiding Crist for wrecking in three months the limited-government climate Gov. Jeb Bush maintained for eight years.If you missed Crist's response to the Journal, you missed a scary commentary. Now we know for sure: Gov. Crist is not a proponent of limited government and the individual's right to life, liberty and property. He's a strong government activist and collectivt - to wit his explanation of his insurance reforms. We're reprinting below the governor's response to the Journal in italics, interspersed with our response to Crist in normal text font:
