Ok, so I have a question for you, that you may answer or choose not to, it's up to you. More of that freedom for you to use, gotta love it!

When, if ever in your lifetime, was the government what it was supposed to be? (It's never been in my lifetime, but I hope to help change that) And, in your lifetime, who was the best president? (My vote goes to Reagan, I believe he was great!)

Our government has not ever been "what it is supposed to be". The only morally legitimate purpose of state, is the defense of individual rights. Any function outside those bounds, is immoral.

Certainly Reagan espoused the rhetoric I agreed with most. (but he failed to be true to his own words). Calvin Coolidge was probably the greatest president this nation has seen.
