I know, I know. I've heard countless excuses about
why government expansion cannot be curtailed. Still, the government--whether "conservative" or "liberal"--continues to expand in spite of all the "heroism" you mentioned. The real "hero" would be the "conservative" who actually reduces the size of the Federal Government.
BTW, I'm a long-term Freeper, a conservative AND I voted for Bush last time. So, I'm not a plant...:-). Just disagree with you and many others about Bush.
Be that as it may, your "handle" cracks me up.
( wish I'd thought of that ) ....LOL!
