Small Government Hypocrisy

No one wants government interfering with their everyday lives, so conservatives took it upon themselves to state that their party stands for “small government” when almost every Democrat also believes that Government should stay out of people's personal lives.

The idea that republicans believe in small government can be described in one word… Bullshit!

For example:

Is using bureaucracy to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her own body “small government?”

Is telling people who they can and cannot marry “small government?”

Is telling scientists what they can and cannot study and research “small government?”

Is telling teachers that they must teach religion with science at school “small government?”

Is telling schools that they must set aside separate prayer time for religious students “small government?”

Is cutting taxes to the top 5% of income owners at the expense of the middle class “small government?”

Is violating freedom of expression by telling people that they cannot burn the flag of their country, even if it is in a non-violent way “small government?”

Is over-censoring T.V., radios, and movies “small government?”

Is wire tapping citizens “small government?”

There are obviously many more examples of republican “small government” hypocrisy, and if you would like to add any to the list, simply comment on this post.
