题目: Re: LIBERAL

The Usurper: Sure stick with it... its not a bad thing for you to be a liberal..... but what does it have to do with a federal government?

I think you confuse the words government with society, a society can and should be all those things, but the society is not the same as the government.

Czuch:

"you confuse society with government"

No my friend, I only say government reflects society. I never voted for, or wanted, the kind of Big Brother government we have now. I only say that, if we have it, it ought to do some good, rather than harm.

You don't seem to object to big government, per se. If you did, you'd object to Homeland Security, the size of the Defense Dept., etc. But don't you relish handing over your hard-earned money for these?

You only seem to object to big government's using your money for other purposes, like environmental sustenance, or uplifting the downtrodden.
