Apathy -> socialism -> big government -> oppression."

I have read the above sentiment form various people who are pro-war and seem to trust/believe what they hear from this administration. Like this sort of thing:

"Hogwash. Every word of it. It is lefty blame America rhetoric. Everything from blaming the US for siding with Saddam years ago to debating what constitutes terrorism to spinning what we accomplished by removing Saddam and liberating millions of people.

You really need to come out of the closet and admit you simply dislike America and seek to find fault, or invent fault, to make the US look as bad as possible."


I am not saying these posts came from the same person. I don't have the time to FIND that but I think those two posts are compatible for a lot of people. To me they represent a philosophical disconnect. Distrust government in one arena/trust government in the other.
