Free staters, conservative fundies, small government, personal responsibility
folks are the real socialists. Here is a small example from my neck of the woods:

I'm a Town Planner in a very conservative republican town in NH. My Planning Board had a subcommittee to revise the town's sign ordinance. One of the members of the committee was a radical fundy who advocates the abolition of all government. HOWEVER, he wanted to regulate signs inside peoples' private residences and businesses and he wanted control of content. :eyes:

There folks are all for no government until they get control.

1. Just like the Communists are all for equal ownership of everything,
except for themselves and what they want to own while the common people suffer. And just like the Republicans are for getting government off your back, until it comes to teaching your kids about sex in the schools, or mandating that they pray in school, or banning abortions...

2. Their interest is having the Government control your personal behavior
and everyone conform to their view of what is correct and proper

in social behavior.

3. what's awful is that THEY don't acknowledge their own hypocrisy.
All these *small* government people have deep control issues.
