Left - Right : Epiphany

[maskedmelon]

So we have had some good discussion, but nobody (aside from Nibs' suggestion that government should be large enough to move things left) has really spoken to the two basic premises that I poorly established in my OP:

1. Limited government is necessary on the right

2. Robust government is necessary in the left.

We can discard the HRC thing for now, that was an observation that I don't care to spend any more time thinking about or substantiating ^^ More interested in thoughts on the above.
