I know that, but there is really nothing that can be done.
I think there is maybe 5% of the population that really cares about freedom and limited government.
The other 95% have constantly made excuses for growing the government and they are going to have to feel the full pain of their folly before they change.
The coming persecution of the various Christian churches will be a hard lesson about the consequences rationalizing theft and envy for the sake of the "poor."
Funny and oddly enough, I do not believe that is what God calls us to do in times of persecution.
