"I think the Taibbi article makes a good case for gutting the power
and spending of the Federal government, and shifting things to
state and local control."
Another example of the Left trying in vain to catch up to the
right--this is an old, old, old Republican idea, which might have
done some good had it ever been implemented. Jasper may think he
has discovered the basis of democracy, but his idea is old as the
nation. Having invented big, lame, stupid government, the Left
disavows it upon discovering that the NeoCons have appropriated
it.
And Taibbi is 15 years behind the curve. Another Rolling Stone
reporter wrote this story years ago, and was so apalled by what he
found that he wrote a book. "A Parliament of Whores" published in
1992. You never read it because P. J. O'Rourke called himself a
Republican at the time.
