While I agree that there is a fundamental division of ideologies of what precisely the federal government ought to be amongst the American people, I disagree that it is a division between the two parties.

The Republicans pay a lot of lip service to small government, but it is only the Tea Party types like Ron Paul that actually fight for smaller government.
