Voters believe too much government power is a dangerous thing and put a very high value on protecting the rights of the individual.

meaning them as an individual but willing to use govt to restrict their neighbors rights. Folks, there are a LOT of conservatives here who agree with this...............

Its the people on the other-side of the Federation you can’t see that are easiest to hurt.

Although in all honesty it doesn’t much matter who is stepping on who. In almost every case the stepping was supported under the guise of “helping people”.

You see politicians have made their carriers out of using unbridled government power to “solve” problems they define, while sudly overlooking the fact that they are stepping upon other people’s rights in the process.

The very idea that Washington was not meant to solve all the problems in the world is almost unthinkable to most of them. The concept would undercut their whole mindset in Washington. Leftist perhaps as much or more than any other group suffer from this dangerous dilution. They have been locked into the idea that Governments are capable of reshaping the nature of men.

But all the government is, is a Gun. Force that robs people of their free will, nothing more, nothing less. Leftist like to say you can’t solve every problem with the gun, maybe they should take a good close look at what they long been trying to do with the Government.
