Here’s an idea of maybe how to make a common cause with liberals on the idea of small government:
Okay, we think the Democrats in Congress are completely useless morons. And liberals think that the Republicans in Congress are stupid and evil. So both conservatives and liberals are agreed that the government is full of people who make really bad decisions. So isn’t the logical solution to put these people in charge of as little as possible? If liberals disagree, why do they want the Republicans, who could quite likely be in the majority again, to be able to make all these decision for them? I know liberals just want to get rid of Republicans, but they have to realize by now that’s just ice skating uphill and they’ll always be a significant portion of the decision-makers.
Unless I’m missing something, small government seems like the best course of action for two sides that think Congress is full of idiots.
But MY idiots are always better than YOUR idiots! If only we could eliminate your idiots, all would be swell!
I still prefer the idea of slicing the country in two, giving half to liberal control and half to conservative control. Of course, we’d have the guns, low taxes, kick-butt military, thriving businesses and low cost health care. And the liberals would have… um… well, beyond extreme envy, I’m not sure.
But then the liberals will be unable to control everything. Silly Frank.
That is an extreemly good plan. Is it too late to put you in for the Pulitzer? Your plan could be the shortest document and only blog post to ever win the pulitzer.
That is a bipartisan consensus I can live with. Perhaps it should be a plank for the tea parties or even the Republican party.
Makes perfect sense. But you make the mistake of assuming that liberals are rational.

Israel/Palestine,m East/West Germany, America/Canada, America/Mexico , Columbia/Venezuala, etc..
The other side doesn’t go away they just have uncontrolled breeding, international welfare, and their children are heavily propagandized that the other side has stolen everything from them and that is why they are poor.
Of course Liberals could try their Utopias with minimal damage on the rest of us if we locked the Federal tax at 10% and leaving States mainly in charge of foreign affairs and local states in charge of taxes, schools, health-care, roads etc.. was how we started out. Federalism was the greatest causality of the civil war and one we still suffer from to this day.
This is the best post by anyone this month! It may even be the best ever!
We should just give them some tinker toys, and tell them to build a consensus.
