  If you continue to make such silly assertions contrary to the plain facts evident to all, I’ll be forced to reduce my estimate of your brain power.

  Here’s a recent discussion of authoritarian conservatives versus libertarian conservatives.

  What was the motivation behind this topic? It sounds like you’re only trying to convince yourself.

  You know, the usual insult the Other, it temporarily numbs the cognitive dissonance.

  I don’t understand why this is insulting.

  I’m generalizing, but I don’t think I’m mischaracterizing.

  Reagan said, “Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Many Conservatives would agree with that. Thus the first part of my post, “In general, Conservatives dislike & distrust government.” What’s controversial about that?

  Likewise, I suspect that most liberals believe government often is the solution which I framed as “Liberals, on the other hand, love government.”

  Maybe “love” is a little strong, but I don’t think that should be particularly controversial, either.

  You folks probably object to the third part of my statement, but I’ll just point to the left’s unbridled attempt to overturn the results of the last election in Wisconsin. The Left is no longer in charge of the government in Wisconsin and they don’t like it.

  The very definition of “empty platitude.”

  Made worse when you begin a sentence with “Reagan said…”.

  Them Republicans sure seem eager to get themselves elected into problemhood, and they seem quite eager to rearrange everything once they do. When did they actually make government smaller?
