You Got What You Wanted, Now Choke On It

Libertarians are the only adherents to a political philosophy to have their own party. The Libertarian Party must, for the most part, be faithful to it's namesake. This purity is great for the faithful, as they never have to deal with policies that fly completely in the face of their philosophy. It is also why they will never hold power.

The Republican and Democrat Parties, on the other hand, are all about holding power. They adhere to no political philosophy, though the Republicans are considered primarily conservative and the Democrats liberal. However, both parties are full of people of both persuasions and "moderates" who might vote for tougher border enforcement and amnesty in the same week.

Adherents to conservative or liberal philosophies are destined to be disappointed by their parties time and again, as I am today. President Bush is offering the military to take the lead in disaster response here at home. Well, Rush has long said that the liberals view the military as an overblown "Meals on Wheels". But wait, Bush is a conservative, right?

Okay liberal whiners, here you go. You wanted the feds to take the lead in disaster response, you got it. I don't want to hear any bitching in Berkeley when the 3rd Infantry Division comes rolling in after your next earthquake.
