"Boehner and McConnell hammer away at big government, not admitting the bald truth that the opposite of government is free market gambling, recession, underfunded schools, fewer police and firemen, less money for science and China buying up American debt. Democrats have yet to find those voices who will sing with pride that the opposite of bonuses and corporate tax breaks is the undeniable reality that Americans will succeed all together or not at all, build bridges and schools together or not at all, curb our appetites for carbon fuels together or not at all, do science and research as our common endeavor, heal the sick as our common need, and sing our common future or not survive at all." - Craig Barnes
We live in a Federated Republic under democratic rule. Free markets left alone will tear each other limb from limb. We have seen this on Wall St and the Banking Industry. Greed wins out and America loses
Politicians who want to dismantle the Government in the face of the recent financial disasters, as the country is growing and is in need of regulation and oversight, are just plain ignorant and want failure to be the norm.

Bravo.
I wish you'd leave some pithy remarks over at LawyerMomMusings -- I'm like a fly to shit with that conservative blog and need some reinforcements. I mean, why bother. Thanks for fighting the good fight, though.
Thanks for reading, Elizabeth. Will check out that site.
