#1 but at least Dear Leader can gaze upon hir likeness in the sand monument built to honor hisself. too bad rain washed a lot away and had to be rebuilt; an apt metaphor for what will need done in 2013. what a vain POS.

#2 usually EJ Dionne is whelping about those extremist Republicans, and telling us what we really think. The stable of WaPo writers is pretty rank except for the Hammer

#3 Do these people really believe what they write?

#4 I think his issue/point conclusions are mostly right, though his path there is a cf.

The collectivists have sat in the choom room too long, and are trying to get a revisit on the chicken/egg question except with money and economoy vs government.

Fact: Business existed here before the creation of the United States

Fact: Back in the beginnings the government broke; it had no money to put into the type of projects noted today, therefore the money for the government came from private sources.

Turnpikes used to be completely private roads which payed for that with a toll fee. River crossings had ferry businesses. Read Laura Ingalls Wilder again, business and industry existed without DCs help.

Fact: If government idles, nothing really happens except in extreme cases such as war. If private industry idles the whole format struggles - people have no money and tax revenue drops. Government money comes from the private sector. Period.

But hey, want to have that arguement about how the Federal Government and Washington DC dealerships do it so much better, let's have that talk.

#5 EJ does because this is how he gets paid. Now the level of enthusiasm can mark how on-board a paid opinionator is with the assignment.

This has all the enthusiasm of a die-hard baseball team fan who just watched the other team not only take the lead in the top of the 7th, but has had only two hits since the 1st and two bush league infield errors which allowed runs.

#6 Funny how the left is the only one that hears dog whistles. I suspect perhaps they might need a bit of self-reflection instead of projection.
