What I propose is to remove the government from these systems, then we can all go back to being responsible for our own liberty.

I cannot quarrel with that. The only problem is that it's not going to happen anytime soon. So what can be done in the meantime to stop or at least slow the behemoth from consuming everything and everyone in sight?

I fear that nothing can be done. We have to many “republicans” that have bought into the collective mindset.

For example, when I point out the tax rates for the wealthy, even confirmed R voters respond with, “I could live on that.” Or when I talk about smoking bans being a usurping of private prop rights, even R voters say, “but I like it because my clothes don’t stink.”

I fear that we are lost and our last chance to slow the marxist movement down was defeated in November.
