Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Is it a proper function of government for taxpayer dollars to be used to send the President’s wife on a “good will mission” to Afghanistan ?

    Of course! It’s called compassionate conservatism, remember Doug?

    Matt,

    Nothing against Laura Bush, but this is a waste of money.

    I know, I guess I didn’t make my sarcasm clear. Not only is it a waste of money, but is it really doing anything helpful?

    Matt,

    And I didn’t make mine clear in the response. I agree with you.

    And, no, sending Laura Bush to Afghanistan doesn’t do anything any more helpful than sending Hillary to Bosnia did.
