Incomplete argument: you fail to define that missing middle. You fail
to demonstrate that a liberal government is not the correct size for a
productive, free society. Whereas any rational person can point to the
failures of the reichtard policies that have failed.

Duh. Yeah. And the American experiment shows small government fails.

And you may not have noticed Chinese citizens aren't interested in
moving to this country anymore...unless they're spies.

Oh yes, of course I am, it's the only solution.....ummmmm, of course
that's what my position seems like to a fascist looneytunarian when
compared to his insane laissez-faire, free trade, screw the worker,
poison the world to make another buck, small government point of view.
I have said this before: we've heard your bleat and whine before,
Hitler condemned liberal and conservatives alike, declaring he had a
better way to govern.
You're just a fascist for the 21st century.

No, you just can't understand common sense. Your tinfoil hat gets in
the way.
