These assholes only want to break things and tear stuff up. They don't believe in government, OR governing, and if that's where you really are, then you've got nothing but anarchy to play with. If they don't believe in government OR governing, why should they expect the rest of us to trust them in positions where the actual job is to do exactly that?
