Why Conservatives Can't Govern
By Alan Wolfe

Search hard enough and you might find a pundit who believes what George W. Bush believes, which is that history will redeem his administration. But from just about everyone else, on the right as vehemently as on the left, the verdict has been rolling in: This administration, if not the worst in American history, will soon find itself in the final four. Even those who appeal to history's ultimate judgment halfheartedly acknowledge as much. One seeks tomorrow's vindication only in the context of today's dismal performance.

<snip>

Conservatives cannot govern well for the same reason that vegetarians cannot prepare a world-class boeuf bourguignon: If you believe that what you are called upon to do is wrong, you are not likely to do it very well.

3. It is a great article

I found it about 18 months ago and keep a copy in our "reading room" (bathroom) that all our guests use. I highlighted a few paragraphs and shortly after, a couple who were visiting us asked for a copy!

The man doesn't have a decent, honest bone in his body. I wish he would just go away. Soon.

Government is the problem and won't help you. Elect us and we'll prove it.
