Pinko Hobgoblins

The Editors:

It’s not just that Bush Republicans aren’t trying to justify themselves to libertarians - they aren’t trying to justify themselves to anyone. Once they got themselves into power they abandoned and repudiated any principles they ever claimed to hold (remember limited government? Remember humble foreign policy? Good times!) All that’s left are spooky campfire stories about Boogeyman Michael Moore and all his frightful liberal pinko hobgoblins, and if you don’t think that’s good enough, well, screw you.
