Government is God's way, in this kind of world, for humanity to live together in ssome semblance of order, justice, and peace instead of chaos, oppression, and war. Government is necessary. There are some things that only government can do. Among these are such things as public safety, public education, criminal justice, and military defense. That insight is equally valid for state and local governments within their different spheres.
Government is capable of doing good and important work.
Government has a unique capacity to establish justice, do the things that make for peace, improve the lives of the people, and serve the common good. Government is singularly able to use its sovereign authority to constrain evil, limit oppression, and ward off anarchy. Government needs informed and committed citizens. Government deserves the understanding and support of the American people. From town councils to county commissioners to state legislatures and to the national government, the entire apparatus of government needs to be tended, watched, supported, and sometimes corrected.
