The stupidest comment that I ever read on Free Republic. I understand the context though be it with a grain of salt. I call it a necessary evil and the only one we got. Limited government has no resemblance to what we have now as we are now the servants. The Constitution gave us God given rights that government has very little regard for. Our rights always supersede government. Americans found out very quickly even under Washington how asinine government will be and that the government interest always comes first.
A better version is we believe in the Constitution, therefore we believe in the consent of the governed and the accountability of the government.
