"...and denounces government bashing as the sneer of patronizing and vaulting privilege at the needs of ordinary people that can be served only by government."

This is, in a clear summary, the anthithesis of the American experiment. Pleople woo embrace this line of thinking must be unhinged; ignorance can't be the reason if they have managed to learn big words.

There are no needs that can be served only by government

Government is like fire. An awesome slave and a mindless fearsome master. It can't feel, it can't think, it can't plan; it can only react to external forces. The greatest danger with both is the failure to understand that its primal purpose is to maintain itself, and consume anything that gets in its way.

It is no accident that our Constitution is formulated entirely to control the beast. Fail to remember this at your own peril.
