Take a long, hard look at the Middle East. What you’re seeing there is what it will take in this nation to roll back the federal government – masses of people so fed up they’re willing to take their lives in their hands to force the change. Government will not EVER give up anything it’s gained, and will ALWAYS strive to grow. That’s what Jefferson meant when he said it’s in the nature of governments to grow and liberty to be decreased, and why he also said a little revolution now and then was essential to the health of the nation. It’s needed to prune the tree of government back to its essentials. I pray that, if this revolution is to come, it comes on my watch, rather than the watch of my children and grandchildren. I’m old enough a few more years won’t mean much, but most of them are young yet.
