The last time you checked was 1964?
The right has changed a lot since then, theyve become big government advocates. More government in your bedroom with their opposition to privacy rights, more government in your home and personal life with their opposition to due process and equal protection rights, more government agencies, and an ever larger military.
Indeed, the GWB administration brought us the Patriot Act, the TSA, and the Department of Homeland Security. Between 2001 and 2007 alone the right made government larger and the deficit bigger while attempting to diminish our civil liberties.
So, no, the right has nothing to do with smaller government.
Well then, who is about smaller government? Both sides surely can't be "big government," otherwise what would the difference be?
Although I do agree with you; the right we have today (in power) is as much about big government as the left.
