I completely agree that bloated and hyper-active government is the source of many problems. You could throw in the lobbying scandal - it wouldn't exist if feds weren't picking winners and losers in areas of life where it's properly none of their business.

I disagree insofar as the lack of limited government didn't cause radical Islam, and the Patriot Act is a commonsense response. Leaving that aside, the tragedy is that change would require a concerted effort by the electorate with an appetite for limited government that it just doesn't have.

It appears your right based on the thrashing I have taken, but it is how I feel.
