I think you hit the nail on the head. "Government must expand to protect out rights." That's the new mantra that people are believing.
I agree with libertarians on some things, and I think they're sincere (unlike "liberals"). But I also think they're sincerely wrong if they think yesterday's ruling was anything short of a major government power grab that will lead even more government as time passes.

Yep. Thats the paradox isn't it? Perceived freedom today. But dont look at tomorrow. When the loud whiners and others who are 'harmed' (think aids, diabeties, hepetitus) overhelm our libertarian friends, they find themselves overwhelmed.
While they siphon off 2% - 3% of the vote, like in the south dakota race, we push the tax and spend crowd into office.
