Would-be Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has announced that if the American people are so good as to vote Republicans back into the majority in the mid-term elections they will respond with a year-long moratorium on all federal regulation.
This follows, of course, Republican declarations that the recent hard-won regulation of insurance company abuses and reckless fraudulent financial institutions must also be repealed. You know, for kids!
The Republican "philosophy" of dismantling civilization to make way for the re-emergence of the "spontaneous order" of feudal warlordism is on full display here, and no number of failures, catastrophes, counter-evidences, expressions of popular discontent will ever diminish the fervor with which generation after generation of Movement Republican and so-called "libertarian" True Believers will continue to advocate this demolition.
Americans must finally grasp that Republican politicians who declare all politicians to be thieves, incompetents, and tyrants are simply announcing their plans, and we must keep voting instead for the politicians who declare that good government of by and for the people to help solve our shared problems is both possible and desirable.
