[Autocratic]

I am for national health care, and if that makes me a socialist, so be it. I am very far to the left of the so-called 'Democratic' Party.

What struck me about this post was the Big Brother reference. Seems to me that it is the right that has brought us the most legislation that is 'Big Brotherish'.

Quick examples: The 'War on Drugs,' The Patriot Act, their immediate smearing of the character of any dissenters, etc.

And yes, I 'enjoy' using the 'pseudo' quotation marks.

The right and left have probably brought on an equal amount of big government legislation. The right-wingers probably bring about the "Big Brother" aspect more, and the leftists the "nanny state."
