Cato Scholar Compares Puppet Iraqi Government to Founding Fathers. No really.

Tom Palmer, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, has recently returned from a junket to Iraq where he says working with the US puppet regime prolly feels the same as being at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 with Tom Jefferson and the boys. No really.

This is what passes for "Libertarian" thinking in Washington, DC these days I guess. I was accepted to do an internship there during the summer after my junior year of high school. I went into the US Army that summer instead. I had always had a secret nagging regret that I didn't do it, but now I know I didn't miss a thing.

If the pollyanna statism-in-denial swill (as written by Dr. Palmer here), is the best Cato can do, then it confirms what I have suspected for a while now. The Cato Institute is a Republican entity in all but name. Entirely in their thinking though. Sad too.
