Terribly confused. (And I don't believe it's me.) He even stated it for the record, too!
How can he be a lover of Big Government, while being a hater of government? He can't.
On the "Hates government" side he has:
- Taxation is theft. (Yes it is. Even if you like what it pays for)
- "government hating" (which seems a dubious claim, considering)
On the "Loves government" side he has:
- "military and law enforcement supporting" (HUGE welfare programs, and what other molesters does he support?)
- "illegal immigrant hating" (it takes a government to declare something "illegal" and to decide something is "immigration")
- "border security" (HUGE welfare program, and why does he hate property rights?)
On the "irrelevant to the topic" or "insufficient information" side, he has:
- "Gun waving" (Cops wave guns. Troops, too. Government extremists love guns-- as long as they control them. Guns are just tools and it depends on who you are pointing them at)
- Free speech (speech can be pro-liberty or against... but where is he throwing it?)
- anti-abortion (I know people who are pro-liberty, and reasonable, on both sides of the issue)
- school choice (is this school I'm allowed to choose regulated and funded by government? Does my choice include not funding schools at all?)
- anti-handout (except when he's handing other people's money to military, law enforcement, ICE employees, etc. apparently)
No, "liberals"/"progressives" (who are neither) are not more consistent. I laugh at their confusion and hypocrisy just as much. And when I find a comparable hilarious example, I may share it as well.
Statists-- they don't get that way by being smart or consistent.
