Two quotes I heard yesterday, from the same conservative

[ComerPerro]

First one, about the whole wiretapping mess:

"I don't care if the government listens in. I have nothing to hide."


And, the second, spoke by the same person, as an answer to my question: I thought conservatives hated the government, anyway"

"Well, conservatives hate Big Government."




so, there you have it.

Conservatives hate the intangible "Big Government", but don't mind when the very large (and increasingly larger) Federal Government spys on them and might be monitoring every phone conversation they have...


How, exactly, does that work?

I believe Orwell described it best when he called it "doublethink"
