Big Government is Tyrannical

28May2010
As government grows, liberty recedes.

Government first grows through its laws, only later are agencies charged with upholding them established. With each law that goes beyond the basic function of protecting the rights of the individual, our government gains a little more leverage over otherwise innocent men, and liberty recedes.

Did you ever stop to think why the Unites States has the most incarcerated individuals per capita of any first world nation? Why our penal system is clogged with people who have committed victimless crimes; crimes which do not violate the right of any individual, but only the authority of the state.

The history of Big Government is a tableau of horrors. Hitler, Stalin, Mao...everything they did was legal by the laws of their land.

It can and will happen here, unless we stop it.
