It's always incredibly ironic when the party that favors small govt, minimal State, is also the one that loves to make the most bullshit laws curtailing personal freedom.

Not exclusive to the USA, unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure when they say small government they just mean they want a gov that isn't strong enough to keep them from being the assholes they really are.

Because all those "minimal State" parties are usually corporate beaurocracy parties.

Maybe except anarcho-comunists, they are for "no State at all" or direct democracy.

Well, without knowing it, they are for a very strong dictatorial government.
