Grover Norquist The Fool Who Would Be President

[Stephen Paul West]

I squeezed in a very funny political satire over the weekend. It really is well research for a small work (about 50 pages)

 

Grover Norquist - The Fool Who Would Be King is a breezy, enjoyable read about a timely and pressing issue. Mainly the undue influence that a single lobbyist can have over a political party.

 

Certainly, the 'fiscal cliff' and political gridlock in Washington can be traced directly bact to Lobbyist Grover Norquist. How did this happen? How could a single man put a strangle hold on Lady Liberty's neck?

  

This book will inform and entertain as it walks you through the key points of Grover's life. From Ayn Rand giving birth to a heartless baby all the way to 56 year old Grover, who still embraces his full understanding of politics at age 12: Its all here.

 

Strangely, most of his power comes from stealing Ronald Reagan and holding him hostage. Yeah this is weird considering Reagan has been dead for a while now. But here's a excerpt from the book that explains a bit of the kidnapping of President Reagan:

 

The Ronald Reagan Occult… er… I mean “The Ronald Reagan Legacy Project” (RRLP). Norquist wants to put a Ronald Reagan statue in EVERY single county in the nation. No joke. I’m not being a satirist at all at the moment. The RRLP is a real thing.

 

That goal is to put a Reagan Memorial (altar? temple? Crèche?) in every county in America. Quoth Mr. Norquist:

 

“In addition to ensuring that every February 6th is known as “Ronald Reagan Day,” we work to encourage the naming of landmarks, buildings, roads, etc. after Ronald Wilson Reagan. … Each one of these dedications serve as a teaching moment for those who were not yet alive during his presidency ….  Our goal is to eventually see a statue, park, or road named after Reagan in all the counties in the United States.”

 

I like Reagan –– perhaps everybody but Air Traffic Controllers likes Reagan –– but do I have to worship him? Can’t I just like him? Must my like be turned into zealous worship?
