Nancy Pelosi is your mother

Sometimes people make very revealing statements without realizing it. House Speaker (also House Appeaser, House Muhajjabah) Nancy Pelosi, in the introductory Video to her Demoratic Convention speech tonight, makes the statement:

It wasn't until later in life that I decided that politics was a continuation of my role as Mom.

This is how Pelosi views her role and, presumably, the role of government: as your parent. Keep in mind a parent is someone who controls their child's education, work, recreation. If Pelosi has her way, the government won't be just the "Nanny State", it'll be the "Mommy State".
