In fact they are now the most vehement promoters of "Big Government" and Centralized control of the individual. Big government must feel very fortunate that the 9-11 attacks occurred. Not because they are callous to the loss of life but because the attacks give them the opportunity to be seen by the mass of individuals as the only one who can protect them. Therefore, the individuals are more than willing to let the government control virtually everything.
The centralized government expansion of control and the nationalist bigotry remind me more and more of a hybrid socialist, fascist, monarchy.
That's a very interesting statement. In your opinion, is this nationalistic bigotry more troubling because it feeds big government or because it blinds some of us who claim to be nationalists?
