Is the idea of small government and states rights just dead?

America was built on the idea of a small federal government and strong rights of the states. Why in 2014 are we under the control of a huge federal government of control hungry liberal bureaucrats? I am an educated conservative, and i feel i am a dying breed in a society where liberalism has become the status quo. Why are modern day libertarians liberal? It makes no logical sense, a fundamental belief of libertarians is in small government, while liberalism is at its heart based on LIBERAL or LARGE government spending and control. Explain? Debate?

Welcome to the politics section of RIU. If you're a libertarian you're a bible thumping christian nut job.
Oh yeah you're also a fucking racist, get the fuck out of here with this logical statement for debate.

Thank you, come again.

. this country on the idea of small federal gov't, but there has been a group of people that wanted america to be owned . check out the currency act of 1764 and the First Bank of the United States; we were poisoned almost from the very begining

That does not sound like what is happening, to me. So, just a page from the National Review? I marked the prose that makes me think you don't want an explanation. Nor are you in a mental position to understand it, seems to me.

Doer, no one is in a mental position to understand most of what you say on here.
