"Let God judge... you for your Quisling rationalizations."

You are calling me a traitor for quoting the Bible and espousing a biblical world view. You might want to rethink your position.

"I stand unashamed and name our government what it is: a whited sepulchre, putrid inside."

You are confusing the liberals with government. They are two different things. OK. The liberals are not the only guilty ones, but you need to separate the people from the office.

Your tirade maligns not just the bad politicians, but the good ones, and our FORM OF GOVERNMENT in general, and our CONSTITUTION. Attacking the GOVERNMENT is too broad. If you want to say a particular party is guilty or a particular office holder, that is different.

For example, it is not slander but simply stating the facts to say, "President Clinton is a liar", or, "Howard Dean is an abortionist", or "Ted Kennedy is a murdering lush". Well maybe I went too far with the last example, but you get the point.

Do you think ALL government is evil? I assume you recognize that government is necessary (if you are an anarchist, please correct my assumption). If you feel so strongly why not get involved in electing good officials or even run for office yourself?

Quite frankly, you will need to mature a little before making it. You need to be able to argue your positions more persuasively (it helps to start with a defensible position). And, above all, you will need to grow a thicker skin. Because for someone who can hurl strong insults, you get offended very easily. Holding office in this country requires that much. You can dish it out, but can you take it?

No, of course not. A government that is within the bounds of legitimacy is not evil.

Around the time of the New Deal, our government broke down the last limits. Most of what has been added since is illegitimate and EVIL.
