Limit government

If the Founding Fathers taught us anything, it was a healthy mistrust of government. Separation of powers, checks and balances, enumerated powers, independent state governments, frequent elections, impeachment processes, the right to bear arms, an independent private sector, property rights, the right to petition government for redress of grievances, freedoms of speech and press — all these have as their purpose to limit and control those entrusted with power.

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force! It is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." These sentiments, attributed to George Washington, ought to be written in the heart of every citizen.
