The quote below is from the blog response that John Hood links to in his Locker Room post from yesterday.

?Dr. Jay P. Greene has devoted his career to promoting vouchers and other measures aimed to weaken or dismantle public schools. The Manhattan Institute… is dedicated to eliminating the public schools.”

I find it unfortunate that conservatives are rarely as good on issues as their left wing detractors make them out to be. Another one of my favorite examples include accusations from the left that George Bush wants to abolish Social Security. and who can forget the days when Newt Gingrich was accused of wanting to abolish Medicare. If only conservatives would actually embrace the positions that the left accuses them of taking, we wouldn’t need a libertarian movement.
