…oliticians exist for a reason; because they represent the established point-of-view. Less government in the abstract? “Sure.” Cut any actual program? “No way! Somebody might need that; I might need that. Tamper with Social Security and Medicare? Are you crazy?” Says Johnson: “So we are two governors that have curved in heavily blue states as Republicans. We’re small government guys, but we’re also socially liberal. And I think that’s the makeup of… Continue reading →

…e words of his sound: ‘You may have noticed that there’s one thing I don’t complain about: Politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says, ‘They suck.’ But where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality.

For better or worse, they are man-made schemes that require the coercion of a supposedly free people in order to make them ‘work.’ People on both sides of the ObamaCare debate stubbornly refuse to recognize that the coercion of ObamaCare has been with us for many decades now.

…research in the first place. The Constitution does not provide for brain research, nor research in general, and Gingrich knows this. Conservatives are quick to point out — and I agree with them — that ObamaCare is not in the Constitution, but neither is any particular kind of research for health.
