Grover Norquist calls WWII Vets "un-American"
Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, calls the generation that fought World War II and created Social Security "un-American": "Before that generation, whenever you put a draft in, there were draft riots. After that generation, there were draft riots. This generation? No problem. Why not? Of course the government moves people around like pawns on a chessboard. One side spits off labor law, one side spits off Social Security. We will all work until we're 65 and have the same pension. You know, some Bismark, German thing, okay? Very un-American."

4. grover is a con artist
he did so well in illinois that he and his friends destroyed the republican party here. it will be interesting to watch the blood bath of the conservates who backed keyes and listened to grover.

5. and what did Grover's generation do? other than get rich just because
its nice to have millions of dollars.
Born 1956 btw.
and here's another quote
"Two million people who fought in World War II and lived through the Great Depression die every year. That generation has been an exception in US history, because it has defended anti-American policies. They voted for the creation of the welfare state and for obligatory military service. They are the Democratic base, and they are dying."
That really makes me sick that he said that. That generation, I will admit is ages away from my own generation in terms of greatness, willing to sacrifice, sigh I hate shit like this, it really disrespects my grandparents and aunts and uncles who did this. Anyone know if Norquist is part of the Bush campaign team? or is he his own guy, none the less, tell all the seniors you know what Norquist thinks.
