Being a Proud American Citizen, I need no government other than a smal one to ensure the sanctity of my nation. And that is a relgious belief -- one in which I generally share.
So far, all the welfare has failed me.
It's failed everybody -- except for the government leeches who keep power by keeping others dependent on them.
Keep religious beliefs out of politics and you just may be able to re-create the argument about our nation concerning our liberties.
