An old liberal friend from college posted an article from David Brooks on her Facebook wall today. I took the opportunity to make fun of David Brooks, a conservative that I have little respect for. I was then lectured about a national crisis that requires deep thought.

Oh really.

All of a sudden the debt is a crisis. It seems to me that the people who brought up the debt two and half years ago were labeled stupid, radical and racist by those who are now telling us it is a crisis. We are told it is the time for an adult conversation from people who only now realize the seriousness of overspending.

The conservative community has been trying to have that conversation for years. If you want my opinion, read my archives. I’m glad you have come to your senses…even if your motivation is only to preserve the entitlement programs you love so dearly. But…

• Where were your concerns when Obama spent trillions on stimulus, putting your entitlement program in jeopardy?
• Where were you when the Obama-Reid-Pelosi triad didn’t even propose a budget?
• Where were you when Paul Ryan made an honest attempt to address the issue only to by dishonest attacks from your fellow liberals.

So spare me the lecture on the impending crisis. I was bitching about government over spending when Bush signed the $500 billion agriculture spending bill back in 2001.
