These are the guys who use "Nanny state" as a term of derision, and yet this is exactly what they are proposing to create. Well, I guess there will be one major difference in how this is done, in the so-called conservative (neo-con) nanny state, the government will have control of all the information regarding any aspect of your life as you try to maintain a job and life in an increasingly hostile economic environment. In the liberal nanny state that the neo-cons hate so much, the nanny state would actually be proving health care for everyone, voting rights, civil rights, you know, useless stuff like that.
How they went from being the "Black helicopter" fear mongers to the guys putting the fuel in these choppers is a truly stunning example of their ability to turn black into white as long as it serves their ideological underpinnings.
