Pick your poison; both political parties are statist collectivists. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
Two weeks ago, the partisans of Hombre Naranja were prematurely celebrating what seemed at that point in time to be the foreordained victory of the Hombre Naranja in the (s)election that’s still more than three months away. Now the partisans of Hombre Naranja are gloomy, because they made the mistake of joining the chorus of calls for the Hombre Senil to be taken out of the (s)election process.
And then he was. And that left Hombre Naranja without much of a case to make anymore, insofar as the main case he had been making was that Hombre Senile was too senile to be running for (s)election. Or for that matter, running the country. At least, pretending to run it.
We all know by now – hopefully – that presidents are just fronts for the powers and principalities that actually do run the country.
And that latter is just the point. Or rather, the problem. Whether it’s the Hombre Naranja or the Hombre Senil or the Mujer Cacareando it’s all the same thing. More finely, variations on the same theme.
They want to run the country – which is just a euphemistic way of saying they want to run you.
We hear about the Left and the Right; about what are vaguely referred to as “conservatives” and “liberals” – though what it is that “conservatives” want to conserve is hard to divine and “liberals” seem uninterested in conserving anything, especially other people’s freedom.
