Progressives, Neocons, and Micromanagement

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
--Tears for Fears

As usual, a cogent point by Ron Paul. Progressives seek to micromanage lives of people inside the US. Neocons seek to micromanage lives of people outside the US.

Progressives attempt to micromanage the lives of people *inside* the U.S.

Neocons attempt to micromanage the lives of people *outside* the U.S.

Humans are not made to be micromanaged by anyone or anything.

So Progressives & Neocons are doomed to perpetual failure. pic.twitter.com/i7fX6Svvkl

Because people have been endowed by their creator with the unalienable right of liberty, they are not built to be micromanaged by anyone anywhere.

Ironically, both progressives and neocons can see the error in the ways of the opposing group--but not in their own ways. Social identity theory predicts as much, of course.
