We may see a shift in the US political landscape.

Just a quick point: who thinks otherwise?  Do you really believe that welfare liberals advocate their agenda simply because they like government?  No, they, too, feel that the normative elements of the constitution demand that the government take a certain role in the welfare of the citizenry.

I think there are clear differences between those that "try" solve problems by building more government, and those who do not. Both sides do it. DHS anyone? I see nothing in the Constitution that gives the Federal government a role in education. There are many, many other examples of bulky ineffective beauracracies built to "solve" one problem or another.
