We're all blindly marching to communism

Yeah, I could almost be republican if I weren't so put off by the laws they want. If they could come to the realization that laws concerning values are the opposite of small government they might have a largely appealing platform. I usually support the democrats because despit their delusion of social utopia they usually are less infringing on individual rights.

That is because they just want to get (re)elected.

Your right, a lot of people are discontent with things they don't even seem to care. Of course it goes far beyond just our government taking away rights. And worse yet some of those rights are infringed upon at the request of special interest groups, the same groups that want less government but don't like what other people do. I also thinks being furthered by super corporations, those too big to fail companies. No company should have that power. But they do, and they don't only have a huge influence through lobbyist and funding. But they also produce a huge amount of jobs that put a huge number of people in jobs that perpertuate the downfall. The media has far too much influence. And these huge companies are often the only ones who get big government contracts. Its almost like everyone is either working for the government, a company that contracts with the government, or a company that provided services targeted to them. If you most companies that don't sell a product to the government are often the employers of mostly low wage undesirable jobs, like fast food. And those employees get welfare, so it really puts us in a situation where the majority of people either need the government to provide them with jobs or with welfare to do well. I find it hard to find a successful industry that doesn't really heavily on either a government service or the business of government employees .

Not so long as they think they can use it to get what they want.
