Government is Good ^

Why a website defending government? Because for decades, conservatives have been attacking government and not enough has been done to defend it. Ever since Ronald Reagan declared in 1981 that "Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem," Republicans have been waging a political war against this institution. Their core message: the free market is good and government is bad.

Government is Good"So is fire, water, and alcohol, but in limited quantities. In excess all four can and will destroy your quality of life or kill you.

Read the Constitution of the United States. Read the Founding Fathers. You might learn something and that would be good.

FAIL!
Everything she points out that the government “saved” (housing market, roads and bridges, etc.) needed to be saved because of government intervention (or government’s lack of fiscal discipline) in the first place.

You made a vague childlike comment that “government is good” what did you expect in this environment that wants small government, a standing ovation??

So what is the “official” probationary period for noobs in order for them to be allowed to post without threats of being zotted?

Hillarious. Should have, could have, would have guessed it is done by a college professor. Says it all right there.

OK, I actually read through some of the articles, and looked up some of his op-ed pieces from the last few years. All I can say is wow. Just wow.
He is, quite simply, a big-government collectivist. Government is good. More government can actually mean more freedom. That sad thing is that he actually believes it...

Well knock me over with a feather. The sites owner is a college professor! And he has a CONTACT option. I’ll read some of his Marxist drivel and send him an appropriate email. Of course I’m certain facts won’t matter much to him as they don’t to any other dedicated leftist. Damn things are too inconvenient to their arguments, after all!

“Don’t see why that’s called for...”
I am not sure I understand his comment either. I don't get the impression that your post was to promote the site you linked. Hence your warning.
To: Rodebrecht
“Smaller government” has been the conservative mantra – except of course for the ever-growing expenditures for defense and national security.
Hmm, imagine that!
One of the few tasks the federal gov't is actually charged with...
Is this site supposed to be satire?!
