Excerpt:
Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) has become the latest Republican politician to see the writing on the wall and break with anti-tax guru Grover Norquist. America has voted for socialism, and socialism is what it is going to get, and the statesmanlike Saxby is not going to be the one who stands athwart history and shouts, "Stop!" And yet, as craven as Chambliss's capitulation to the forces of unrestrained government power is – and it is craven indeed – there is one thing the august Georgia solon has right: it's time to break with Grover Norquist.
"I care more about this country than I do about a 20-year-old pledge," Chambliss thundered piously. "If we do it his way, then we'll continue in debt, and I just have a disagreement with him about that." In other words, there is no chance whatsoever to rein in the ever-galloping growth of government spending, and so Americans are just going to have to pony up more to feed the socialist leviathan. After all, we can't expect that people will perform key services like reading our emails or making sure we aren't drinking sugary drinks for free. And Saxby Chambliss, part of the ever spineless, gutless, clueless, directionless, visionless Republican establishment, is going to make sure they are duly remunerated for their service to Big Brother.
