Why can't republicans ever clearly define what they mean by "limited government"? What purpose should it serve?
I mean some republicans are so dumb that their logic is like that of a caveman: "gubmint and taxes bad, freedom good! Derp derp derp!"
Right of course how silly for the rest of us to assume republicans are smart enough to understand the importance of investing in things like science and infrastructure and the revenue needed to pay for it?
How silly for us to assume republicans are smart enough to understand the danger of having the private market having full control over our healthcare system? Do they even wonder why WHO ranks our healthcare as being the worst for a first world nation? Having state of the art healthcare technology means jack shit if poor people can't afford basic cancer treatment.
Why is it that republicans in power refuse to provide fire disaster relief to the west yet they are perfectly content giving Israel a pointless 3 billion a year? Talk about fostering dependence! Israel would be the most powerful nation in the Middle East with or without it.
Why is it that republicans say liberals and democrats foster a dependence mentality in this country when it is liberals who understand the importance of income tax? Surely such lazy parasites like the leftwing wouldn't want to pay taxes!
Why is it that no liberal democrat who has ever been in power has said jobs are not important? That we should all be parasites? Why is it that 2x more private jobs were created in Obama's first 5 years than in all of Bush's 8? Surely the economy would have collapsed by now. It certainly did under Bush.
The concept of limited government has been articulated on these forums by conservatives, GOP'ers (not always the same thing), and even a few liberals (who actually get it) for as long as I have been coming to this forum (2009).
How is it that you refuse to look at those arguments to get an understanding of what the founding fathers (who supported the concept of limited government) and many on the right believe?
Is it perhaps that you don't really wish to know what those who oppose you philosophy think so that you can continue to argue in ignorance?
Or is it perhaps the fact that you come here just to hurl insults in an attempt to make yourself feel better?
I have an idea. Why don't you articulate what YOU think the role of government is, and let us then compare that to the Constitution.
