Conservatives, Alt-righters, Constitutionalists, Traditionalists, Nationalists, rights-based and minarchist libertarians, I have a game for you to play.
Actually, any brand of statist can play, but it's more fun to watch supporters of limited government participate because they're typically more invested in preserving some semblance of liberty. I've found that big government types are more invested in false virtues like equality, regardless of how much they have to extort, cage, maim, and kill to achieve these virtues.
Here's your game.

[quote]Show me one government or nation state which became smaller and smaller over time and increasingly less injurious to the freedom and liberty of individuals. Again, I hear the bleating of the usual suspects on the alleged Right who claim that new-found respect for the Constitution will set everything right and we will all skip down the yellow brick road of the small government paradise known as America. You are either a coercionist or an individualist, there is no middle ground.[/quote]

the founding fathers made it very clear: the Constitution works, the philosophy works, people dont. enemies of liberty r both foreign and domestic. pursuing the american system of government is a perpetual ideal of humanity, at least in an enlightened West. this is a never ending fight, not a math problem to b simplified & solved.
