Then point it out, genius. And don’t thank me for something I’m not doing.

[You] I didn’t make nor imply a moral equivalence.

[Me] Yeah, you did. Thanks for playing. [You] Then point it out, genius. And don’t thank me for something I’m not doing.

Okay, then. Here we go.

>> Quit worrying about the Right.

The issue concerns the overbearing control of govt. The bureaucratic machine is large and dangerous regardless of who’s driving it.

A small, conservative government is what we want.

With "regardless of who's driving it", you set up a moral equation between large, bureaucratic governments run by a) conservatives or b) liberals. But conservatives have a much different approach to government and won't grow it, whereas liberals will grow it at every opportunity, to deepen the dependency of voters on politicians -- or as the liberal pols would put it, "making government relevant".

There is no moral equivalence there, and yet you pronounced |big government run by bad liberals| = |big government run by conservatives|.

Satisfied?
