"Conservatives want people not to even have to think about government. It's kind of like an operating system in a computer. You just want it to work...Liberals want to run the operating system, and they want to use the operating system against you, or their political enemies."
—Rush Limbaugh

"Conservatives want people not to even have to think about government." True. One of our erstwhile conservative Prime Ministers, Malcolm Fraser, once expressed the wish that newspapers carried sporting and entertainment news starting from page one. He continued to say that government is best left to people who know how to govern.

I have no reason to believe that would be a controversial opinion in any part of any Government anywhere. After all the entire reason anyone gets involved in politics is because they think they know better than others and can make a difference.Hermit wrote:"Conservatives want people not to even have to think about government."
