In Praise of Frankness
5 October 2006
Editor, The New York Post
Dear Editor:
RE George Will's "House of Frauds" (October 5): I welcome the prospect of the GOP losing control of Congress. Not only is control by one party of both the Congress and Presidency dangerous to our liberties, the Democrats are less hypocritical than are the Republicans.
Both Republicans and Democrats are parties of big, hyperactive, and officious government. But only the Democrats are honest enough to admit it.
If a band of marauders are molesting and robbing me, I want at least to be spared their ridiculous assurances that they wouldn't dream of molesting and robbing me.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Boudreaux
