LOL Spoken like a true Statist. Our Founders wanted a severely limited Federal government.
Anyone who believes in a government that serves the people in the way Santorum believes it should "serve" allows for the type of people that mirgrate to government and have it grow to what we see today.
Jefferson's definition of good government is wise:
A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
Our Founders wanted government to keep the h*ll out of our lives. They knew that a severely limited government would allow for a civil, ordered and prosperous society to evolve. Our Republic grew and quickly became the most prosperous, happiest Country on Earth. It only happened because government was limited and did not act to serve the people in the manner as Santorum wishes
It is strictly because government was limited that we became a great Superpower economically, not because of any government "action."
Santorum's entire political DNA is at odds with Liberty and Capitalism. He is a Statist masquerading as a Conservative.
“Our Founders wanted a severely limited Federal government.”
True, but limited government is different from no government.
“Anyone who believes in a government that serves the people in the way Santorum believes it”
So what does Santorum believe? Let’s hear it.
“Our Founders wanted government to keep the h*ll out of our lives.”
Actually, he’s arguing in favour of intervention, to restrain one man from another.
“It only happened because government was limited and did not act to serve the people in the manner as Santorum wishes”
And what, precisely does Santorum wish?
“It is strictly because government was limited that we became a great Superpower economically, not because of any government ‘action.’ “
Was the US, prior to 1913 a superpower? UK, Germany, France, were all more powerful.
“Santorum’s entire political DNA is at odds with Liberty and Capitalism. He is a Statist masquerading as a Conservative.”
Opinion. From what I can see, he’s the best conservative out there. Newt is a progressive masquerading as a conservative. Paul is a libertarian masquerading as a conservative. Romney is a socialist masquerading as a conservative.
Santorum? He’s the best we’ve got still standing. Perry’s pretty good too, better than Newt.
