That is why our American forefathers articulated a vision of limited government. But we have turned our back on that legacy, and so far none of our political leaders can identify our political problems, let alone proscribe an appropriate remedy. People are increasingly afraid of their government. They should be. The government has made messianic promises that are becoming harder to keep.

Regulations strangle our businesses. Parents send their children to school in fear that they will be taught that Heather Has Two Mommies , or worse, they won't return at all. For all of the tens of billions that are thrown down the government school rat hole every year, our children can't read or think, nor are they safe from the pandemic levels of violence which are commonplace in our schools.
