So after I forward this article from the far-right Washington Times comes the part when Republicans go to Plan B, their usual fallback, whenever a liberal who believes in the positive role of government points out the hypocrisy and poison of Republicans in government who steal and deal in pork:
"Well, it just goes to show you that government is evil," Republican hacks reply. "They're all bums."
And they continue voting Republican.
At least my party, with all its warts, thinks government can be good. These guys think government is a necessary evil -- and a significant subset don't even think it's necessary. So how cynical and black-hearted must they be to hold such beliefs, and yet at the same time squeeze the federal budget for every dollar in pork and special favors they can get?
