I Agree With Grover Norquist - Dear Lord, Help Us All...
Submitted by grant on November 15, 2007 - 8:16am.I agree with Grover Norquist. It pains me to say it and type it. I never thought those words would cross my mind. Yes, I agree with the ultra-right wing creator of Americans for Tax Reform.
I was watching MSNBC a few mornings ago (note: admitting you've watched MSNBC is almost more embarrassing than admitting you agree with Norquist) and Grover came on to talk about a new constitutional amendment he's pushing which I completely support. (also note: I've never seen a picture of Grover before and he looks quite different than I thought he would)

Norquist has commissioned lawyers to draw up a constitutional amendment that would ban family members from succeeding one another to elected and appointed office. If passed, it would not apply to the Clinton's as a Bush was elected in between them. But Norquist believes that it will alert voters to the perils of dynasty.
Here's the kicker, there's a quote from Peggy Noonan, former Reagan speech writer and Wall Street Journal hack, that I also agree with in that article. What is the world coming too?
Dynasticism brings with it a sense of deterioration. It is dispiriting.
Noonan! Noonan!
