“Definitely never seen this type of response to a FOIA request,” quipped one journalist.

      Yep:

      “I don’t want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub.” — Grover Norquist

      That was 25 years ago. It’s always been their plan. They want to dismantle democracy and replace it with a corporatocracy, oligarchy, or similar authoritarian structure.

        No. They want to make it small enough to fit in a woman’s uterus because that’s all they give a shit about regulating

          When it’s not single digits and ice storming in a couple weeks I think people are going to take to the streets. Everyone I talk to is pissed except the unreachable morons.

            It’s the situation they claim it’s for, but no it isn’t. The second amendment is to have a militia ready to defend the nation in case of invasion. Militias were the norm at the time, not standing professional armies, which the newly founded tiny union of states certainly didn’t expect to have. That time came and went though and some people carried the corpse of the second amendment and turned it into something else that it clearly isn’t.

        “I don’t want to abolish government. I just want to have the ability to abolish the government on a whim. Whether the government just so happens to be abolished or not after that is up to the direction of the wind and whether the sun gets in my eyes.”
