Left-wing politicians take away your liberty in the name of children and of fighting poverty, while right-wing politicians do it in the name of family values and fighting drugs. Either way, government gets bigger and you become less free.
@dcjogger right now the problem is less about "big govt" than it is about out of control government giving away american resources and tax dollars to wealthy elites and foreign powers at the expense of the american people. if "big govt" actually spent the tax money on america, we wouldnt be in this situation right now. at heart, i, too, am libertarian. but, frankly, im not sure that is going to work right now, shy of abolishing the federal government completely and starting over with nothing but the constitution.
