No you're not. You're just snarking.

There is no small government wing. There is only a big business wing.

As for the liberal excesses we can expect down the line, using conservative precedents as an excuse, I could suggest the repeal of established law by extortion and blackmail, just for starters. How would you like it if we shut down the government or wrecked the economy in order to get effective gun control, or to make abortion rights fully legal (even in Texas), or to banish private money from political campaigns?

TB, nobody swallows your "extension of state power", big bad statist crap any more; the Right has a very real and self-serving class agenda that's all about brutal power--concentrated in their hands. It is to create an environment where the "job creators" get to do any damn thing they please, to keep workers intimidated and desperate for any crumbs that trickle down from their groaning tables, where regulation and curbs on corporate brutality and greed are diminished to the point of insignificance, where worker and consumer safety, fairness, environmental protection, union rights, and even voting regulations must be first approved by a class whose primary goal is the reduction of taxes that might benefit anyone but them. You want a nation where only those who can afford to bribe lawmakers have a voice in government. And if you ever achieve that, I can guarantee your government will be anything but small. It will insinuate itself into any bodily orifice it can exploit for profit.

You've stated here yourself your goal is to return the US to the same sort of corporate domination that Teddy Roosevelt declared war on over a century ago. I say no. The Gilded Age sucked a big one. I don't want to live there.

So change your rhetoric, its starting to sound as trite and cliched as that projectile vomit boilerplate the Kremlin used to pump out.

As for your colorful little Wisconsin Fascist poster--well, I can play that game too.
