they will say that they believe in strong armies, low taxes, and, perhaps above all, limited government. Permit me to be skeptical about this self-description. I don’t actually think that limited or large government matters as much in distinguishing contemporary liberals from constitutional conservatives as we are told it does. All of us want just as large a government as suits the current needs of our values and programs. Statism may or may not be a sin, but if it is, it is a sin neither of liberal left nor liberalish right.
