“The year 2009 finds the statists no longer at the gate but advancing well beyond it.”
Hello? Have you not been paying attention the past like, um, 60 years or so? The statists have long ago advanced past the gate, you’ve just been unable to see it for what it was because it was your statist (Republicans) instead of the other guy’s statist (Democrats). Well, FDR was a Democrat statist, but I haven’t ever heard a Republican or a Conservative call him a statist — only libertarians.
Its funny how all these conservatives suddenly have found jesus on fiscal conservativism and statism. Where the hell were you for the past 8 years while Congress and the Executive went on a spending binge, increased acceptance for government run health care (prescription drugs, CHIPS, etc.), increased protectionist measures (steel tarriffs, massive agricultural subsidies, rampant corporate welfare across the board in response for “lobbying”), and on and on and on.
Don’t get me wrong, its great that you [b]FINALLY[/b] have figured it out, but damn, you’re really late to the party.
