The Right-Wing Dodge!

In an effort to distance themselves from the debacle that is the Bush Administration the Right-Wing is accusing the administration of gross incompetence. I believe the accusation of incompetence against this administration is just a dodge. You hear it all the time that this administration is incompetent. You know they screwed up Iraq, they screwed up Katrina, they handled the U.S. Attorney situation poorly, etc., etc. The problem with this dodge is that this administration has been very successful in making their theory of government actually successful. Americans no longer trust the Federal Government to do the right thing competently. That is quite a success for the Grover Norquists of the policy world.

If you put people in charge, by say some kind of elections, who do not believe in government and then they do not govern, it is a tautology. If you do not believe in government why would you believe in governing competently? It seems to me that incompetence is the obvious result. And the empirical evidence is rampant.

JMHO!
