Big government, based on the idea that with enough micromanagement the world can be perfect.
The absolute best post of the year so far!!!! You nailed it perfectly.
Aren't you the wordy one? You can use one word to replace that sentence:
"Liberalism"
Heh, it just reminded me one of the things that I actually DO appreciate about liberalism… Whenever they have a point to make, they can't help themselves and give away the entire context and content of their message in the first few words of what they are trying to say. I have read so much liberal pabulum, that if I pick up an opinion piece I can tell almost exactly what points that liberal will make just by reading a few words.
I've often opined that I should be grateful to him because those are precious minutes of my life that I won't spend reading their crap, and I won't have to regret never getting those minutes back!
On the downside, I can occasionally get taken in by a satirist or a clever conservative writer, so I do try to take the time to read the entire article now. It only took me a few years on free Republic after putting my foot in my mouth a few times to make sure I did that!
That's what they want you to think. Reality is many Governments are jobs programs for the incompetent and the affirmative action babies who happen to be politically connected. We have thousands of Governments in America. More than 3000 counties, 50 states, One Federal gov and so on
