Default Leftists turn on Thoreau

After worshiping him for a hundred years or more, leftists are turning on Henry David Thoreau.The opening lines of his famous essay Civil Disobedience tell you why. - "I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best which governs least", and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe, "That government is best which governs not at all" - Not exactly words that would endear him to big government worshiping leftists !
