Left wing politics and the madness of crowds

Abe Greenwald asks a rather pertinent question:
Why are those Americans who are most distrustful of the U.S. government, and so eager to undermine it, the same ones who are most desperate to give it control over their own lives? 
But it gets better:
One news cycle finds HBO’s Bill Maher telling America not to allow the government to inject “a disease into your arm” in the form of a vaccine and that “I don’t trust the government, especially with my health.” The next, he’s calling for “Medicare for all” and lamenting the absence of a fully government-run health-care system that would operate like the U.S. postal service.
The utter incoherence of people who despise our government and do all they can to obstruct it and then turn around and scream that we give it sweeping powers over our lives is breathtaking. Don't these cats ever read their own drivel?  Of course their incoherence makes them ludicrous to a middle America who day by day is becoming more cynical about the Federales ability to do anything except destroy.

About damn time.
