Is it just me, or is that article unbelievably dismissive of conservative concerns, just in its use of quotation marks alone?
I would think so. After all, conservatives are non-entities to the liberals.
Nancy isn't as dumb as she looks. Reducing the ability of the people to loby the government is nothing more than an attempt to reduce the ability of the average American (who tends to favor conservatism more so than to Nancy's brand of screaming liberalism) to influence national policy. Note that the NRA, for instance, is one of the nation's most powerful and successful lobbying groups.
Only in power for a day, and she's already trying to consolidate her power.
Hey you guys, stop scaring me. I just finished watching Star Wars III, where Palpatine takes control of the Senate and consolidates power around himself.
