Statists of all stripes—whether they be liberal, conservative, or just plain nuts—are thoroughly dangerous.

Careful Rabscuttle, you run the risk of being thoroughly misunderstood unless you explain yourself.

What do you mean by trying to classify conservatives as statists?

Because most of them are. That's why.

Limbaugh is top of the heap on this along with that idiot Hannity.

I didn't say that all conservatives are statists. But I did imply that there are some conservatives who are statists.

The danger with advocating expansion of Government for your own ends is that you are not guaranteed to remain in power perpetually, and as another group that is opposed to you may eventually gain power, and the right to use such Government machinery, that group may elect to use the Government you create...against you.
