Quote: the G-man said: Traditional conservatives (as well as libertarians) have tended to believe that government, at least big government, is a problem, not a solution.
Yeah, but Dave Barry wasn't making a statement about the kind of government that was most preferable. He was saying that the government is generally corrupt and not trustworthy.
Distrust in the government is hardly an attitude exclusive to conservatives. Infact, in today's USA, the conservatives tend to be the ones saying we should all trust the government, or, at least, the conservative administration running it.
This is censorship, but not liberal censorship(technically, that's a kind of an oxymoron, anyway). I think you're reading something into it that wasn't there.
