I'll just throw in here that there are some people - a diminishing number yes, but still some - who think that freedom is a pretty good idea and that's why they don't want government running the lives of ordinary citizens more than necessary. This idea that it's all just a bunch of socialism scare tactics is becoming more and more true, but there's a pretty darned robust school of thought going back centuries behind the concept that excessive government power tends to lead to some very bad outcomes.
