‘‘The problem with nanny state governance isn’t just that it’s intrusive. It isn’t just that it stifles business with over-regulation, and it isn’t just that it empowers busybodies and costs money. It’s that it distracts government from the really big jobs that it ought to be doing.’’ -
Walter Russell Mead
‘‘...The next time your elected local or state official holds a press conference about global warming, the Middle East, or the national political climate, expect to experience poor county law enforcement, bad municipal services, or regional insolvency.’’ -

‘‘...Those who wail and gnash their teeth about the distribution of power are always making exactly the same argument: Group A, whom we disdain, needs to be disempowered for the benefit of Group B, whom we embrace. My own stance on this is simple: Groups A through Z inclusive should be told to STFU and GBTW, because groups, other than the states themselves and We The People, have no standing under the Constitution.’’ -

‘‘
Police claim that due to financial reasons they are too understaffed to deal with ‘
minor’
crimes. In essence, what this says is that the state would rather spend the money on welfare for moochers, looters, thieves, and bums, than protect the property of honest citizens.’’ -

"Statists well understand that you don’t need a president-for-life if you’ve got a bureaucracy-for-life. Sometimes your team has to take a time-out for a couple of years, but, even when they do, all the departments and agencies and bureaus are still in place, hyper-regulating away. I mean, how often does the party of small government actually abolish anything?†-

"Probably the biggest reason our system has remained so stable for 200-plus years is that most of us believed in its integrity. That faith is crumbling, and for some very good (and disturbing) reasons. The fact that any attempt to shore up that integrity is going to be aggressively resisted by the Democrat Socialists–disingenuously portrayed as an assault on that integrity, actually–ain’t helping any.â€

"Lawyers are, at heart, statists. Hence, even those who claim to support the Constitution have a visceral level of fear of it, because it threatens the framework of the state in which they must work to survive.†-
