Read his words, they are in no way small government. I also resent "mindlessly angry people " term. Just like a liberal; don't debate , just name call.

Implying that one is a member of the "lunatic fringe" if one supports the Tea Party Movement is a polemical statement which is out of place in a scientific forum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
