Small Government Conservatives

I was listening to some random radio right wing wacko in the car this evening. He was making some comment about people not understanding the proper role of government.

We don't realize that government is just a necessary evil and too many of think government is a sugar daddy.

While it might be nice to think about a small government it's futile to refuse to recognize that government is a sugar daddy and nothing he or anybody else says or does is going to change that. The only question is Whose sugar daddy is it?

Government has become huge and self-perpetuating. It takes money (or freedom) away from one group of people and gives it to another group. The only thing left for us to worry about is whether or not the group(s) we are in is a group that gives or a group that get. It's going to be one or the other -- government is not neutral and it isn't going to become neutral anytime in our lifetimes.
