What does government mean if it does not control people? If we want to be independent, we will not be part of the community. I am very happy that Republicans are responsible for the government so that they can control the population. Democrats will promote universal health care and free education. I don’t think anyone wants to do this.
Yes, we can both agree that you don’t understand that at all.
There’s No liberty in modern liberalism…
No, that’s wrong also…
The goal of American liberalism is nothing short of world domination.
No, that’s wrong also…
You literally disagreed with me when I said that you understood something and then when I said that you didn’t understand something.
Do you understand that?
“Big Government” brought you
- child labor laws
- civil rights laws
- minority voting rights
- women’s voting rights
- the minimum wage
- maternity leave
- the US highway system
- National park system
And on and on. Those decrying government seem to forget why we need government.
You do know that there is a distinction between “Big Government”, “limited Government” and no government at all? A very limited government could accomplish everything you listed as well.
If a law says that murderers will go to jail, and if you like to murder, then are you being controlled by government?
Can you continue murdering unimpeded?
If you murder, what is likely to happen to you?
When you are in jail, have you been controlled?
This is a straw-man type approach. Whenever anyone questions the size and scope of government many on the left frame the argument as though that person believes in no government at all. Heck even hardcore Libertarians believe in some form of government.
The purpose of that argument was to address Cratic’s notion that one purpose of the government is not to control.
Government controls, undoubtedly.
That was the only purpose of that argument.

I read your post a couple of times and I’m not sure what your primary point is? Could you clarify?

Democrats want worse government control. I don’t want this. I think Republicans want to control the government, but that makes sense. Health and education are not rights. We need to go back to what the founders assumed when they created the United States from nothing. Long live Donald Trump.
No…it is not

I think I might have just found the anti-me.
What is the empirical definition of ‘Big Government’? At what point does government transcend from ‘small’ to ‘big’? There is political mileage to be had from attacking the breadth of government, so at what point does that run out? Is any government greater than no government ‘big government’?
I’ve seen one person refer to property as the biggest government program ever. It’s really funny how much you can play with it.
I’m against school lunches because I’m against big government; just like my man Tommy J.
I’m against big government like policies that interfere with what welfare recipients spend their money.
Ooh, this is fun.
Gotcha. I was blown away. Are there any small Government politicians anymore.
Anyone politician shorter than five-and-a-half feet.

Heightism really frustrates me. Even as an adult I deal with it today. I’m 7 inches shorter than average, but I’m not a child.
Kyshia: Cratic3947:That’s one person who’s a danger to the rest… His arrest makes us more free, not less. It’s also a local function 95% of the time.
When he is arrested, has he been controlled?
Who is doing the controlling?
When you pay taxes, do you pay taxes?
Is paying your taxes controlling your net worth?
When you pay your taxes, who is controlling your net worth?
Is government control of our borders a form of control?
Are you sure you’ve thought this through?
So, your answer is yes. The govt is there to control it’s citizens…
is a ban on gay marriage a control on citizens?

There is a difference between decrying big government and calling for NO government (which is simply anarchy.)
The fact that we need proper government does not justify big government.
Yes it does.
