The urge to establish a controlling authority is where parts of the "right" and "left" overlap.

we fought a war over this very thing back in the 18th century

Indeed we did.

Which is why we have big government conservatives and small government conservatives on the thread arguing viewpoints that are 180 degrees from each other.

Funny that conservatives could be so far apart on this issue. It appears that establishing a controlling authority has become much more acceptable to a larger portion of the right than it has been in a long, long time. The left has been in lock step on this for a much longer time.
