where anything you don't like, especially if it has been supported by "liberals", is a conspiracy. This is America damnit, and you can't make us be smart if we don't want to be! Radical idiocy.

From Mr. Toad's Wild Ride written a couple of months ago-

The thing is, you would think that an effort that promotes living within our means, accurately forecasting financial needs and obligations and making intelligent and well thought-out land use decisions would find some favor with conservatives. That’s kind of the traditional definition of conservatism, isn’t it? I guess not. Apparently, since the concept has met with the approval of the liberals among us, it must therefore also be evil. Private industry actually has a term for this approach to conducting your affairs. They call it a business plan. But bring this type of analysis to government and it becomes a U.N. plot. Go figure. If liberals are for it then conservatives have to be against it. Simple, isn’t it? So logic and principals be damned, this is America and you can’t make us be smart if we don’t want to be.


OOOOOOk! La homa where the nuts come riding 'cross the plains. Sing it a couple of times. It's catchy.
