The next time I hear some douchebag statist sneer, "You teabaggers don't have any real ideas. 'Cut spending?' Where would you start cutting, smart guy? Huh? Where?" I'm going to whip out my folder and slice right through the tires of his/her oh-so-ironic fixie retro-bike(or bumper-sticker-festooned Prius, depending on the circumstances), and then smile and inquire if that answered their question.
Just kidding.
(Maybe.)
See, when we Conservatives hear this question, we develop temporary mental paralysis. Not because we don't know where to cut spending, but because the Federal budget is such a target-rich environment of wholly unneccessary and unConstitutional monstrosities, we simply don't know where to start. Our adversaries take our failure to answer with an immediate soundbite as a win for them, and rather than wait for us to collect our thoughts, they walk away with a confident smirk as the wind whistles through their ears.
Well, my fellow patriots, help is on the way, courtesy of Reason Magazine. Print out a few copies of this missive and carry them with you. The next time Mr./Ms. Smug-puppy asks the usual question, hand them a copy and tell 'em, "This'll do for Day One. Once we get warmed up, we'll really start cutting."
You might wish to run at that point, as I bear no responsibility for your dry-cleaning bill if you're standing too close when their heads explode.
I have been fortunate to see an exploded liberal head or twelve. Messy, but oh so satisfying.
