Getting there, aren't we. "Federal control of every aspect of our existence,"
Conservatives are working as hard as they can for that level of control over the citizenry. Illegal surveillance of all types, the right to secretly imprison forever on just the whim of The Leader, more and more checks on travel (unless one is of Central American origin, and then there's none), and on and on and on.
Conservatives battle plan seems to be to accuse others of exactly that which they are guilty - big spending, big government, infringing upon privacy, civil rights, and so on.
For those who deal in sound bites, with the attention span of a flea in a frying pan, it sounds good.
