a gut-level aversion to big government is almost exclusively a white phenomenon.

Thanks to the power and ability of the government to create money out of thin air, more and more people are suffering from the delusion that government is Santa Claus, or a empathetic nurturing parent that can provide them with free benefits that are costless to the citizens.

But white settlers of America of Anglo-Saxon descent wanted to promote a renaissance of Anglo Saxon primitive institutions on the new continent.The statutes of the Anglo-Saxons were like a breath of fresh air that furnished ancient principles of freemen that could become an inportant source of the model for the new government.

On August 13,1776,Jefferson wrote to Edmond Pendleton to convince him that Virginia must abolish the remnants of feudalism and return to the "ancient principles." He wrote:

"Are we not better for what we have hitherto abolished of the feudal system? Has not every restitution of the ancient Saxon laws had happy effects? Is it not better now that we return at once onto that happy system of our ancestors, the wisest and most perfect ever yet devised by the wit of man, as it stood before the eighth century?"

You know what else is an all-white phenomenon?

Volunteering to help in times of disaster.

My brother-in-law was in New Orleans after Katrina. White people were there from all over the country, helping out every way they could. There were virtually no black people doing the same things.

But you’re not allowed to mention this.

Why isn’t “bigger government with fewer services” an option?

The Republicans are obviously committing political suicide to support amnesty, UNLESS they’re big government Repubs.
