I had to put that up first! The Left always obscures their real intent with platitudes, convoluted explanations to simple problems and complete rejection of obvious simple truths.
Example 1 -The Left wants to regulate in an effort to protect the masses, while this is an honorable intention that know one would ever object too, if not for all the predictable unintended consequences and  eventual abuses by government officials. 

This is an excerpt from a Brian Walsh article published in The Foundry on August 8, 2011 at 3:06 pm
Take a look into what happened to Abner (Abbie) Schoenwetter. Abbie had no criminal record whatsoever. No one alleged that he was smuggling drugs or weapons.  He was not cheating on his taxes. No one alleged that he used or even threatened violence.
What federal prosecutors did allege was that using plastic instead of cardboard violated a Honduran regulation. The Attorney General of Honduras who–like the Attorney General of the United States–is the highest ranking law enforcement official in the nation, certified in writing that this regulation and two others that federal prosecutors alleged that Abbie violated were not applicable to Abbie’s case.
But because these unreasonable prosecutors were armed with a vague, overly broad, and otherwise unjust federal criminal law (the American Lacey Act), none of this mattered to them.  Essentially, the Lacey Act makes it a federal crime to violate any fish or wildlife regulation of any nation on earth. (What are the chances that Congress reviewed every nation’s fish and wildlife regulations to ensure they are consistent with the Constitution and U.S. policy?)
Abbie Schoenwetter’s business, health, and family life (he has a wife and three kids) were wiped out because unreasonable federal prosecutors – one of whom is now the head of the criminal division in the Alabama U.S. attorney’s office – used an unjust law to target Abbie and a Honduran fisherman from whom Abbie purchased his seafood. Abbie spent six and one half years in confinement and is now under the supervision of a parole officer for three years.

This is another situation of excessive overzealous government officials absolutely destroying a honest hard working family.
