Most Kossacks are familiar with Grover Norquist's famous quote, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." It appears to me that Mr. Norquist is an anarchist and should therefore be described as one whenever he pokes his pointy head out of his moral cesspool, errr bathtub.
My dictionary defines anarchy thusly:
Absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.
which is what would result if Mr. Norquist gets his way. "Freedom" in his case is freedom to starve, die of a preventable illness and have a big box store built next to your cozy neighborhood home (freedom from those annoying zoning laws). The Republicans who have signed his No-Raising-Taxes Pledge are never described by the media as anarchists, nor is Norquist, although I believe it is truly what they are. They want a nation without any social safety nets, highways, bridges or public schools. Some definitions of anarchy include an aspect of violence, although I believe that what the Republicans have created is a slow motion violent attack on the middle class, unions and the 99% of citizens. The violence of the frog in the slowly boiling water is violence nonetheless. It just takes longer to notice.
So let's start calling Grover Norquist and his pledge signers what they truly are, Anarchists. Anarchists more truly bent on the destruction of American Society than the window breakers at the Occupy sites. The end point of the current Republican philosophy is a broken and destitute population ruled by a few wealthy, privileged anarchists.
