Guilty as charged. I do not fall into any of our political parties, and most often profess to "lean Libertarian". (It seems odd to me that Libertarians would even consider themselves as members of a party). But somewhere between 100% tyranny and anarchy lies peoples law, that mythical balance point where power is under control of the people, and government is allowed just enough to provide security, justice, and good order. And no more. Sadly, too many are happy to give all the power which government says it requires to provide those things. Additionally, they wish it to provide equal outcomes. The desires may differ between parties, but the reality is the same, cede power to government to shape the world the way I think it should be. This seems to be a growing, not shrinking phenomenon, and one where we seem past the tipping point. In the end, no "side will get what they wish, and the government will then tell you what you should be wishing for.
