You are right in the sense that your views are in agreement
with so many other leftist/socialists whose philosophy is
that the solution to each and every problem in life is simply
ever more restrictions and regulation.

Uh, as opposed to right-wingers, who seldom try to unduly restrict people?

Correct.

Ever heard of "gay marriage ammendments" and other such moral
legislation BS?

I am not in favor with anyone who suggests ever more government
restrictions, no matter what sort of 'winger' they are. In this
day and age, there isn't thimble full of difference between either
political party IMHO.

Historically, however, (as most reasonable people would stipualate)
it has been the left that has made a career out of expanding
government into ever more creative nooks and crannies of life.
They have always been very proud of that fact and thus the mantra
became the colloqual description. People tend to use it in connection
with such philosophy in the same way they use Hoover when talking
about vacuum cleaners.

Unfortunately, though, this is no longer limited to the "left". The fact
that "social conservatives" (which is very different from the political
label "conservative") have been so deeply incorporated within the
Republican Party has changed what has been historically so.

Hopefully, this is a temporary aberration. Otherwise, we're left w/o a
real voice for [political] conservative politics. We can say g'bye to
ideas like fiscal prudence, minimalist government, states' rights, etc.
