He Hates Us For Our Freedom

For reasons that escape entirely, a two bit grifter named Grover Norquist seems to have more power than Zombie Ronald Reagan in the Republican Party. May the Islamophobes are half right. Or maybe it's just that like a lot of bufflaheads, he thinks the nineteenth century's  radical economic, social, and political inequalities were "real" America and those who fought and died for FDR and a new America were commie symps. In either event, his war against sensible budgeting places him firmly in the category of people who won't let us have nice things.
