On Grover Norquist

[Wry Catcher]

My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Being married is kind of like being a Ken-doll; you don't get to dress yourself anymore.

Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum, whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun.

The statists want to control the economy.

Norquist might be an idiot, but I can hold up plenty of idiot liberals as examples of why everyone should be a conservative. You would definitely be on the list.

What has Grover Norquist done to deserve the Two Minute Hate?

What he stands for, his values (so to speak).

He claims to support individual freedom and his support sets the poor, aged, infirm free to suffer and to die.

He claims by removing the safety net, and saving the taxpayer money, these same people will get jobs and become taxpayers, but never explains how.

In fact many of his claims are unsubtantiated or based on revised history (for evidence those interested need only google "Grovere Norquist Utube")

One link is attached for a brief bio, of course there are others and if there is a hue and cry as to the source I'll be happy to prove more.

In fact I don't hate Norquist, I simply find avarice, bigotry, censorship and demoguery distasteful; I recognize how demagouges who have risen to power (behind and in front of the curtain) have historically brought ruin to the many and riches to the few.

I simply feel people ought to understand where that the beliefs they hold originated, for his words are parroted everyday on this message board and echoed repeatedly.

PS, Windbag, if you have plenty of reasons why my ideas and opinions are the reason for people to become conservative, please post them. I'd be happy to debate my ideas with your opinions.

He's a conservative.

That's pretty much all it takes.

Don't you (and the libtard left) ever get tired of this mantra? We've had many many government programs for the poor. Guess what, they're still just as poor as they were several trillion dollars worth of programs ago.
We've had welfare reform, which the Left swore would turn people out onto the streets. That didnt happen either.
It is an outrageous lie. Especially since the Left does not care about poor people. If they cared, they would end programs that have kept them poor.

Thanks for trying to keep the discussion on a fairly intelligent level and thanks for the links.

What I just cannot understand is how Norquist got so much power that every GOP member in congress signed a vow put out by his organization. I just find that baffling.

I also find it baffling that whenever asked what programs the right would like to see abolished nobody comes up with very much. I noticed that Bachmann said she would abolish the EPA if given the chance and frankly that leave me shaking my head when I think about E Coli and lead on toys and comtaminated dog food. Are Americans going to be on their own when buying from overseas? I just don't get it.

 

[Oddball]

So what you're saying is that you believe that if the federal gubmint doesn't tend to those matters, nobody will....Right?

That's exactly what they think. No one will fund arts. No one will fund medical care. No one will provide food or housing or clothing. All charity will cease. Never mind the FedGov is the most inefficient provider of all these things, frequently resulting in the opposite of whatever they want done.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Grover Norquist is where Republicans go to subordinate their oath of office to an oath to a lobbyist.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Grover Norquist is the ultimate example of fiscal irresponsibility.

Thank you. I too fail to get it. People like Rabbi and Daveman offer nothing but platitudes of unproven center-right dogma and a plethora of ad hominem attacks.

I should add the joy of this message board for me is to know many more read the posts then respond. The usual extreme partisans always comment and never with substance, I hope and suspect othersread and think for a wide range of opinions is necessary in our society and culture. Only extremists hope for one size fits all. The RW abhore China, but seem to want our our country to have a cultural revolution as did China in 1965. Reactionary leaders always point to the good old days.
