Yeah, it's so hypocritical that those states that chant the conservative "government is bad" mantra are those who suck the hardest on the government tit.
Of course, that core tenet of conservatism is absolutely wrong. Government is an inherent good. People who live in countries with extensive government live better lives than people in countries with little government.
Conservatives point to Soviet Russia and other communist states and quote the holy prophet Reagan to prove their ideological points. Then, of course, they whine about SOOOOOCIALISM, and Venezuela! And Hillary sent emails!
