Grover Norquist can kiss my lilly white liberal ass

When conservatives get their way and the US government is completely bankrupted, THEN can we finally drown Grover Norquist in the bathtub?

I can't quite wrap my brain around the idea of constantly allowing anti-government types to take the reins of governance. These guys don't want government around and they're doing everything they can to make government no longer work for anyone at any time.

Becky asked earlier today what readers think of the notion of the "haves" having an obligation to support the "have nots" in society. Norquist clearly believes that the "haves" should gather up their cash and assets and in true Dickensonian style social stratification.

In essence, Norquist is for creating an American style caste system, where wealth is concentrated with the upper class. The American Dream is lost because those in poverty or even the middle class won't be able to pay for the better education. Or perhaps to pay for any education at all. Under Norquist's ideals, public education would be virtually eliminated.

Conservatism is a push for feudalism.

It boils down to values. Norquist values a society in which great wealth is concentrated at the top..and only by the most heroic and miraculous means can individuals step up to that level. Certainly not the average American.

Progressives believe that society works for all people and they need only take advantage of it to move themselves forward. With hard work and societal support, every person can achieve and do well for themselves.

By the way, if you feel I've been just a little too mean to poor Grover...read this and then get over it.
