It’s not enough that we will all have experienced an increase in property taxes. Now our elected officials want to charge all of us an additional monthly fee for storm-water improvements.

It seems to me that liberals are poor losers. Recently, I have heard many prominent spokespersons from that camp proclaim, with dire tones, that our nation is in danger of becoming a pseudo-fascist state. Walter Cronkite, flag-bearer for liberal journalists, warned that the electorate of the U.S. has gotten just plain stupid, as evidenced by its election of George Bush and majorities of Republicans in the Congress. Kurt Vonnegut is basically saying that the world has come to an end and that the only hope any self-respecting liberal has is to form little “gangs” of like-minded people to fight off the impending doom.

Kevin King and I seem to have come to opposite conclusions regarding our involvement in Iraq, and the editor shrewdly juxtaposed our essays.
