but I admit I honestly don't get how someone can hate the government so religiously after seeing how much public sector employees can make a difference in actual real lifeQUOTE]

For every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction, or something to that effect.

The govt does a lot of good, but the hate is directed at the overstepping authority / constricting liberties / etc.

I agree that it's counterintuitive for liberty-loving people to support anti-porn, anti-abortion, anti-gay folks that the so-called republicans tend to be, but it's more a matter of repubs tending to be more in favor of limited federal govt than dems, more in favor of states' rights than dems, etc. What someone considers the lesser of two evils is a matter of opinion, but the fact is, they're both evil. In this race, more than ever, it's Kang vs Kodos.

It's stupid that people are bothering to make this presidential race more about the social issues when the president's opinion means dick in the first fucking place.
