As an adjunct to this I recommend Anders Ingemarson's excellent book, "Think Right or Wrong, Not Left or Right", describing this very phenomenon. He says the left - right axis should be replaced by a right - wrong axis where right is for freedom loving liberals and wrong stands for authoritarian, dictatorial illiberals. That in itself is great, but he spends a great deal of time outlining just how such a difference in thinking would affect many of the big government programs such as social security, health care, etc. I can't recommend it enough.
