So Grover Norchrist wants to drown the Government in a bathtub?

This guy should be the number one talking point of every Dem out there. This single quote encompasses the philosophy of the Republican party and the Bush Administration.

1. It's interesting that you posted this (very good post, by the way).

I was just linking Norquist's philosophy with several recent tragedies this morning driving around on my errands. It made me go back, in my mind, to growing up with ultra-conservative parents. Even as youngster, I understood that implementation of "conservative philosophy" wasn't a viable option.

My heart aches thinking about the victims.

2. no government=no laws=anarchy
because there will be no one to "officially" enforce them... he better be careful what he asks for, because he just might get it... and it won't be pretty...

4. They'll either have all fled to Paraguay
or they'll remain here but in gated, locked communities guarded 24/7 by armed, private militias --- courtesy of Blackwater.

7. and siege warefare will make a return
someone will have to come out some time for food... and many of the medieval sieges ended when someone on the inside became a turncoat...


the guys on the outside always win in the long run...
(this is also a metaphor for Iraq and all those "bases")
