If you hate government, don't have a job in government.
Unless your goal is to make the government look bad, in which case you ought to be fired on the spot for sabotage and/or acts of terrorism.

(yes freepers, government doesn't work because you twits vote for people who are either stupid or want to make it look bad. Did you ever think of that? Hell, do you ever think?!)

1. Exactly. Do they hire Luddites to work on their cars too?
And when one of them asks me "you want the same people who bungled Katrina to run healthcare?!?" I tell them, "oh goodness no! I hope the Republicans are never given such responsibility again!"

In fact, I am kind of shocked that anyone with half a brain could use such an argument without noting the inherent problem in that statement. Then again, they also tend to think FOX is news, Colbert is a conservative, Ted Nugent is talented, and Rush Limbaugh is funny, so perhaps they don't quite qualify for the "half a brain" statement.

:D

2. My gut guess is that at least 2/3 of teabaggers are on the Government rolls in some way

Cops, ex-military, Social Security, Medicare, etc.

3. Read "The Wrecking Crew" by Thomas Frank
the Republicans, especially under Bush, have been directly sabotaging the government for years.
