I agree with a lot of your points about government but the sad reality is that in this era of entitlements, a totally corrupt media, government largesse, and a dumbed down populace, the chances of electing true leaders who will slay big government is nil, at least until the big economic crash occurs. That event will re-orient everyone’s priorities overnight and get us on a path to sane government. In the meantime, the best we can do for now is to halt the decline and the erosion of our liberties.
Defeatism, demoralization and surrender.
