re: #600 reine.de.tout

Your points are very reasonable.

But WUB - please don’t assume that “conservatives” in general are suspicious of all government except when it comes to the poer of prosecutors and law enforcement. Some (can you say “tea-party”) obviously are. Most I know are not.

Besides which, I know plenty of liberals who have their own suspicions about government, just different ones. It’s a matter of perspective
TU QUOQUE! I know, I know. I’ll shut up now.

Suspicious was a loaded word, but the narrative I usually hear is that the government has too much power and should relinquish some of it. Isn’t that at the core of conservatism?
