Liberals have always been the ones that wanted things to be "different". No matter what the status quo was...it needed to change. They used to be the ones that that sneered at the government, burned their bras & draft cards and generally turned their backs on and their fingers up at "the man". Some of that is still prevalent among liberals...but now those same former-hippie "beware the government" types are the biggest proponents for big government...and I mean BIG government...that there are. Even worse...they are flat-out socialists. Socialism is the government doing every for the individual. and Liberals want government to do everything for you; from regulate your intake of certain things to what you can say and what you can hear and even who has more rights than others. Welfare, Social Security (as the Ponzi scheme that it is now), public education, government health care...the list is immense in the scope that our government takes over and regulates our lives...and to the socialist liberals that isn't enough yet. Our Founding Fathers did not intend the federal government to be the leviathan it has become. Print money, maintain a military and regulate trade was it's primary goals...NOT define and tax every move we make. The majority of the governing was to happen at the state level. So...to draw this up before it becomes a freakin' manifesto...the bottom line is: If you want big government and you want government to take care of you...you're enjoying the path toward socialism our country is being led down. If you want small government and the ability to make your own choices and be responsible for your own actions...then you'd better start being the squeeky wheel!!
