theater. all government really does is restrict liberty. so whenever barack obama wants to wield his magic sword of liberty, he just restricts liberty, but when they discover government does actual things that people like and need, let's rush to put it back together. >> i actually think it is deeper than that. when we talk about the shutdown and the tea party and the grand fight, it is not about the fight of government. it is not about the size of government. go look at the growth of government when the republicans controlled most of government. it grew, i guarantee you. okay? it is about what that government does, what it benefits. and what is clarifying about this moment to me in the shutdown is the focus on what that government does. yeah, people are angry, the memorials are closed.
