The only reason the government is so big and bloated and despotic is because we the people have let them become so.

Can't argue with that.

Indeed; that's also the reason that I can't get upset if Obama wins again: we deserve him and his administration.
When we allow the states to pass and enforce statutes contrary to their state constitution, and the federal likewise, and allow the judiciary to reject cries for justice (because of "standing"), when we allow the Judiciary to rewrite their binding Constitutions (Richard L. Barnes v. State of Indiana or Roe v. Wade), and allow the executive branch to commit acts of war w/o properly obtaining Congress's approval [declaration of war] then what other sort of government can we have?
