"Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." ----
Ronald Reagan"Now many of our Christians have what I call "The Goo-Goo Syndrome". 'Good Government'. They want everybody to vote.
"I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people. They never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down." ----
Paul Weyrich, radical conservative icon, 1980
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.' ---
Ronald Reagan, 40th president of US (1911 - 2004)
“If we just let our vision of the world go forth, and we embrace it entirely, and we don’t try to piece together clever diplomacy but just wage a total war, our children will sing great songs about us years from now.” ---
Richard Perle, adviser to Reagan in the
1980s and one of the leading architects of George W. Bush's aggressive invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan

Grover Norquist, 2001
MR. RUSSERT: You have said that you--your ultimate goal is a permanent Republican majority. What does that mean?
MR. ROVE: Well, first of all, there are no permanent majorities in American politics. They last for about 20 or 30 or 40 or, in the case of the Roosevelt coalition, 50 or 60 years and then they disappear. But would I like to see the Republican Party be the dominant party for whatever time history gives it the chance to be? You bet. ---

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting (Iraq war).

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

"I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back." ----
Michele Bachmann, 2009
And if we are, we can embed in society a sense of caring that makes government less necessary. There would be no greater tribute to our maturity as a society than if we can make these buildings around us empty of workers; silent monuments to the time when government played a larger role than it deserved or could adequately fill. ----
