This touches on one of his most insidious hypocrisies....he feels no
compunction ramming democracy down the throats of anyone he thinks "needs"
it, and yet he rails when someone even comes close to suggesting that
perhaps the US could use a better health care system. And the most
disingenuous fact of both of these positions that he holds, is that other
people are dying in very large numbers as a result of the things he insists
upon.

Yeah, so? George Washington is still on our quarter, but he hasn't been the
actual leader of our country for over 200 years.

My usual (albeit unfair) gut-level response to the phrase "national guard"
is "place for your rich daddy to hide you from military service during war".
Like I said, completely unfair, but The Shrub is partly to blame for that
one.
