When the Left agitates over government policies, it's considered righteous anger. When the Right - and much of the center - agitate, it's painted as the rantings of the criminally and violently insane.

Nothing for the Left, nothing the government does is ever about its superficial reason; it's only and always about expanding government power and control over you.

If you have small-government, traditional values, you may be considered by your own leadership to be an enemy of the state.

The left controls academia, the culture, and the news media.

Obama doesn't run around wearing a Carrie Bradshaw-esque nameplate necklace that says 'Socialist.' But his policies, actions, words, background and associations speak louder than any ID necklace ever could.

I think the Republican Party is supposed to be the party of less government intrusion.
