Bushvilles in the USA – Norquist must be proud

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Apart from being the sworn enemies of public education and science, Republicans have reveled in the hate that is best personified by Grover Norquist who famously proclaimed:

“Cutting the government in half in one generation is both an ambitious and reasonable goal,” Norquist stated in May 2000. “If we work hard we will accomplish this and more by 2025. Then the conservative movement can set a new goal. I have a recommendation: To cut government in half again by 2050″. (source) “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” primary source, secondary source

Obviously, this was just a front, to be consumed by the GOoper grunts who finance the GOP ops. Behind the scenes, Bush and Company have promulgated the most pernicious, ambitious, and far-reaching looting of the American Treasury of any generation since the beginning of our republic.

I have embeded several videos from YouTube in the post for you to see the various Bushville tent cities popping up across America.

Grover must feel replete with satisfaction. The American Dream is circling the drain and rushing out of the bathtub.
