The Federal Government needs to be whittled down to what the constitution requires of it - nothing more.

“The Federal Government needs to be whittled down to what the constitution requires of it - nothing more.”

Jefferson seemed to think that can’t always be accomplished peacefully: “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” We’ll see how it plays out. I’ve seen liberty and its necessary moral foundation dying in this country over several decades, not kicking and screaming but with a whimper and a sense of inevitability. Conservatives are up in arms on message boards like this one about homosexual marriage and the erosion of values that made American families and society strong. Where are their public protests? Where were they when Reagan signed the first no-fault divorce bill in 1969 and opened the floodgates to destroy American families? Who’s speaking up for the children now that are victimized by the epidemic of broken homes? The revolution this country needs is not political or economic— its a moral. Until we get that fixed, we can’t hope to reclaim the America that once was or to be different from any other materialistic and divided country on earth.
