Buchanan loved great big government;

All of Buchanan's "culture wars" bull****, his demands for enforced
and legislated "morality" and his protectionism. That's big fat
intrusive in loco parentis government--you *do* understand what
in loco parentis means, I assume.

"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more
efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote
welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws,
but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel
old ones that do violence to the Constitution or that have failed their
purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden.
I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I
have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And
if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents
'interests,' I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest
is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can."
