That's right, we are to "sacrifice" in order that "the wars in which we engage" may be financed. Wars that protect our freedom & security, but won't allow for clean water, decent housing or anything else of real worth.There are pols who aren't fighting this. On Saturday, former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell spent a little time away from the podium to meet activists and talk to reporters. He runs Reed's affiliate in Ohio; he's thinking about running for U.S. Senate. He was the only Republican in that position who said what the social conservatives believe.
"Clean water is important to us," said Blackwell. "Decent housing is important to us. But they're not rights. And we have to begin to say that what's important is that we in a rational way are able to reform these programs in a way to save them. And, yes, if it means that somewhere down the line individuals have to make sacrifices, because the rationalization of the system means we save it, but we are also doing it in a more efficient way. … I don't think too many Americans will object to that. At the end of the day we're going to get back to making sure we're in a position to finance the wars in which we engage. Does that mean we can do that without sacrificing? No. We have to make sacrifices. But what's more important? Our freedom and security or the gluttony of the federal government?"
In order to protect the nation, we must destroy it. (Or make Ken Blackwell drink some less-than-clean water. Which would you prefer?)

perhaps maybe rich fuckweasels like Blackwell can finance his OWN damn precious wars, and the rest of us will finance clean air, clean water, and universal health care?
And he can damn well pay us for clean air and clean water.
I will give him this pitchfork for free.

AH HAH HAH HAH HAH!
You know what Blackwell's biggest problem here in Ohio is, don't you?
He's a blackitty black, who's black!
And 50 years of G.O.P. racebaiting means his best shot at public office is working for Herman Cain at Godfather's Pizza after the bigots who make up the reichtard base pick the whitey McWhiteperson they want to fuck their lives to hell for the next 4 years.
