I've been wanting to write this for a while. I wanted to make sure it was clear, cool, and concise. I'd like to ask for you critique, and feel free to steal what you like.
It was recently reported in the New York Times that President Bush told a closed meeting of supporters, "I'm going to come out strong after my swearing in with fundamental tax reform, tort reform, privatizing of Social Security." The Bush campaign denies that the President ever said this, yet this language is remarkably similar to that used by Grover Norquist, who has declared openly that his goal is to cut government till it's "small enough to drown in a bathtub." Norquist is the ideological father of the anti-tax, movement, and holds weekly strategy meetings that regularly draw Bush administration members and Congressional Republicans.
Statements made by Norquist in Spain's El Mundo and later confirmed by the conservative Weekly Standard denouncing those who lived through the Depression and fought in WWII as "un-American" show the true values of Norquist, President Bush, and the Republican Party. The animosity shown towards the Greatest Generation for supporting Social Security and the New Deal, and the glee shown by Norquist in their passing, he believes they are the base of the Democratic Party, show the extent to which the Republican party is out of touch with the values of working Americans.
