Why do Neo-Cons get to determine what decisions are made between a woman and her doctor? Whether or not a family decides to pull the plug on a comatose loved one? Whether or not a person wants to die with dignity? Whether or not two people in love can marry just because they're of the same sex?
In each of the issues above Neo-Cons want the government to step in and get involved in the private lives/decisions of American citizens.
Face it. the Neo-Conservatives are the REAL promoters of "Big Gubmint".
Conservatives in general are promoters of big, top down government that suppresses real individual rights.
They prove this over and over again when they get into power.
Just recently Conservative judges have ruled that big corporations have the right to dictate their religious preferences, that corporations can give unlimited amounts of cash to politicians, and that states no longer have to run voter suppression laws past the federal government.
Collectively these are a top down approach to how power is managed in this country.
