It is a lot different because most conservatives and libertarians feels that government naturally exist outside of their lives which is why they say "less government" but people on the left feel that government is a natural part of their lives which is why their programs involve the expansion of government power into their lives.
The Government is a natural part of your life if only because it's in your life daily. If you don't want the government to be apart of your life, don't drive on federal highways or partake in anything that is funded by federal money.
But other than your tunnel vision view, I get what your point is. However, it's like I said previously, I'd like to see where the "most conservatives and libertarians" are when they're voting for the same people year in and year out that take away some of our basic rights.
This only proves the real motivation behind most people on the left behind welfare programs and that is to establish a reason why government should control your lives. Its your guys main arguments why government should demand health food requirements or why you hate it when people assert their will against the government. Its used over and over again and while their is some fundemental truth about it; this truth is known by both sides so the side giving out the welfare learned a long time ago that you can kill any resistance to you if you give them money.
You accuse our politicians of taking away our rights yet your politicians have created the most insidious way for government to establish its control over us and that is by creating welfare states because no one bites the hand that feeds them and liberals know this.
I would prefer someone who takes away my rights involuntarily than one that removes any desire from me to assert my rights because at least then I would at least have the desire to do so.
BTW, government is not a natural part of your life because most people can exist without it unless they are convinced that it provides for them then they demand that its rule over them which is why guys thing 'anti-government' is bad.
