I can't think of any erosion of the Bill of Rights, any governmental invasion of privacy, any torture, imprisonment without counsel, etc, that you have opposed.

Therefore it is unrealistic to expect you to object to the government propaganda machine planting articles, paying off journalists, the military surveying public sentiment, and/or blatant lies perpetrated upon a trusting public.

The more the gov intrudes, the more you seem to applaud.

That's relevant and accurate.

Libertarian by foot. Fascist is what it's called, 'cause that's what it is.

Every despot in history has used some spurious "National Security" to do the same thing, with help from sheep. Every one.

(If one was incensed by Clinton lying and isn't by Bush's, one is a sheep. Remember "The US does not torture terrorist suspects!")
