Big government inevitably stifles individual freedom and the vitality of religion. In Europe, it has led to societal collapse. A nanny state that can take care of you is going to demolish the pillar society stands on: the family. When that disappears, even a plodding government bureaucracy is a hollowed out shell. If European ideas are implemented in America, the American Era in history will be effectively over.

“Big government inevitably stifles individual freedom and the vitality of religion”

I would take it to a more personal level and state that most government representatives who are elected by the people love to bathe in the power they see themselves as having and love to wield it wherever thay can. It comes down to a human, power hungry problem instead of a vague “government” problem.

Steyn is being sued in Canada by Muslim organizations for articles published in Macleans. The Canadian government’s Human Rights commissions in the provinces and nationally likely will allow the suit to go forward. So much for free speech. When big government institutions take over, watch out!
