Poking sticks into the cages of bushbots can be amusing on slow days. Hearing them say that every big spending bill that King George II signs is somehow a stealth measure to return the country to conservatism can give you a chuckle, for the first few times anyway.
But facts are facts, and the fact is that the Bush administration has far outspent the Clinton administration, and the money they're spending is ours. Further a lot of the spending is (in addition to blatant pork) is pure socialism like the no child left behind crap.
On this subject, Buchanan has a great column today.
No doubt it's been posted, and the usual suspects are weighing in that Buchanan is an out of touch isolationist paleocon who doesn't understand the sophisticated nuances of big government conservatism.
I don't understand them either.
