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. In fact, 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.
Ronald Reagan made many similar comments (as Dave Barry) about federal government.
I'd hardly call Reagan a liberal.
The point is that the PC thought police have struck again, and told a college professor what he can and cannot put on the door of his own office.
