Mrs. Samurai Says...Be Careful What You Wish For

The Samurai has linked to some really good, thought-provoking political articles lately. They inspired me to write my own little election summary. Thought you might like to see what the Mrs. has to say about all this. Here goes...

Democrats' reactions to President Bush's re-election have been extreme, to say the least. People are seeking therapy, researching Canadian residency requirements, and even committing suicide. But if they are feeling depressed, perhaps it should be from a sense of guilt. The Democratic Party, more than any other group in our country, has worked tirelessly for decades to increase the scope and power of government to shape our society according to their vision. And they succeeded - at least in the 'increasing government' part.

But there's a catch. For all of their talk of smaller government, the Republicans are always more than happy to take the reins of the Federal leviathan and steer it in the direction they want - to the utter horror of those very people who inadvertently put the power in their hands. Perhaps it's time to reevaluate this whole big Federal government thing.

The colonists overthrew a tyrannical government, set up a system based on liberty, and quickly became a prosperous nation and beacon of hope for the world. It's important to recognize that America was a tremendous success story not because of what the government did, but what it DIDN'T do. It didn't treat citizens as property, overly tax them, disarm them, over-regulate them, wage imperial wars around the world, interfere with freedom of speech and worship, circumvent due process, and so on. I speak, of course, in the past tense.

George Washington said, "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence -- it is force." While you might agree with the way one group uses that force, you never know whose control it will be in next. Washington went on to say, "Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and fearful master." Not sure you agree? Think of how you'd feel if you received an IRS audit notice in the mail tomorrow.

Next time, vote for Liberty.
