    As long as a "Good Guy" sits on the throne.

    If there's an Obama presidency, they're going to start righteously spouting limited government "principles" without realizing any of this, either. It's sometimes quite jarring -- and, in a really dark and perverse way, incomparably hilarious -- to see what the human mind is capable of doing.

    Of course. It's politics, not rocket surgery.
