being an immigrant with no vested interests with any political movement, during the 15 years here i found the conservatives' alleged "anti-government stance" is among the biggest and most blatant propaganda lies. They are trigger happy to expand the government power and reach whenever it helps to squash the "bigger evil" - people's liberties and freedoms (with the white people's gun rights being the only exception). Voter ID laws for example. Birth control. AETA laws. Or just google ALEC ...
If the poster had said, "The FAA is wasteful and does not need to exist" that's perhaps an interesting topic that could be discussed. "They're over-paid over-pensioned trawling YouTube all day" doesn't really lend itself to a useful discussion IMO.
Maybe it's subtle but attitude matters.
