All politicians are whores and con artists but there is no doubt that the self proclaimed "progressives" do the most damage and are the most hostile to freedom and prosperity. The Democrats' recent orgy of pork barrel spending and criminal irresponsibility at the worst possible time may be the lowest moment yet in their long and sordid history of misdeeds, corruption and incompetence.
Unreformed Stalinists like Pelosi and Obama have never seen a restriction on freedom or commerce they would not embrace and have never missed an opportunity to expand the power and reach of the government into our daily lives. Using the recent crisis to jam through a huge pile of new government programs, pork giveaways and massive expansions of the federal bureaucracy serve to demonstrate the depths of their cynicism and corruption.
