Big government is bad. All Rutan,Niebaur, and Macready wanted was freedom, something that is good for everyone, not just a select few. Right wing or left wing socialism doesn't work, we know this historically and intellectually. See Hulsmann's book Mises, The Last Knight of Liberalism. I got my pilot license in the 70's and see no difference between the two political parties - they both believe in big government. I did not vote for Reagan or Clinton or Bush. I made the mistake of voting for Obama the first time but have admitted my mistake. The Libertarian Party offers the only hope for freedom for pilots. Some Republicans have washed their hands and joined the Libertarian Party so that they can vote with a clear conscience. It is sad that the same is not true for Democrats who seem to believe above all else that imposing one's personal preferences over others is simply the natural order of things. If you want your aviation freedom back, first you must realize who the enemy is. It is both the Republican and Democratic Parties who control the government and impose authoritarian control over all of us. See Altemeyer's book The Authoritarians for the right wing model and Haidt's book Righteous Minds for both left and right wing models.

Rutan, Lance Niebaur, Dr. Paul Macready, the Cafe Foundation, all were west coast hippie culture, like me. EAA was squeaky clean, mid-western, Republican, family values, and they started beating the "FAA is big bad government" drum, like the NRA, so I left. Don't miss the self-serving fools at all, and they don't seem to miss us long-haired, draft dodging, degenerates, floating around on lawnchairs under helium ballons who are building the spacecraft of tomorrow out here on the left coast.
