The Liberal COntrol Freak Statists are bad enough, but we never hear about the 'Conservative' Control Freak Statists.

They're out there, in droves.

Part of the problem with labels like "Libertarian" and "Conservative" is that they have become as meaningful as 'pizza' or 'chilli". Everyone who calls themselves by either label has a different idea of what that label means. For "Conservative" we have the range from Christie to the Bushes to the overlapping subset which includes John Stossel, and for Libertairians, the spectrum includes the "just leave me alone (to live a moral life)" crowd to the "anything goes" bunch.

So, when someone says they are "Conservative" that does not necessarily preclude their imposing, by force of law, their particular brand of Conservative on others, even to the point of complaining that your grass is too long. Hence, there are Conservative Statist Control Freaks, too (also for "our own good", just like their Liberal brethren).

What we need, fiscally, philosophically, economically (no, that isn't redundant), legally, physically, is less government.

Less in scope and power, less physical presence, less invasive, and by reducing that, we reduce the opportunities to use public money to feed corruption and theft from our pockets.

That government which governs best governs least.
