"What we need is a strengthening of civil society, a greater emphasis on individual responsibility and less inclinations toward a nanny state."

Can't argue with you there. Welcome to FR.

You know if Novak's column is true and I have my doubts since he is always writing that the republicans in congress really hate W, what I want to know is where were theses wimps when bold things like SS reform were put out there last year? Runing for the hills. Where were they when W's judges were being blocked? Running for the hills. Where were they when W was being savaged day in and day out for supposedly lying and making up intelligence to launch is into a war for oil? Hidding in the cloak room.

So if they are now grumbling that W didn't propose any sweeping new reforms I say STFU and propose some yourself you bunch of nutless, self-serving wimps.
