I agree that Dems want less government involvement in social issues, but more government involvement in everything else. One really doesn't trump the other in the idea of liberty - freedom is freedom regardless if it's social, economic, speech or anything else. |
I'm not saying that one trumps the other in terms of freedom. I'm saying Democrats favor social freedom and economic control while Republicans favor social control and economic freedom.
My main argument is that most people want some freedom and some control in their lives, but they may favor one type of freedom over another.
