what in the world makes you think big-government nany-state liberals would advocate an increase in personal liberty?

this pie-in-the-sky fallacy is maybe the only reason Dems get elected in this country, and you help them by perpetuating the myth.

It would be interesting if one of the major parties became an advocate for personal liberty and limited government, but unfortunately both tend toward statist policies to keep their awkward coalitions voting for them.

Democrats want to be your mommy and Republicans want to be your daddy.
