You don't get the basic dichotomy, yet do you?
The basis for small government is so that local churches can distribute welfare. Once we have large government that distributes those services, the idea of small government is doomed.
Look at Great Britain. Large government increases secularization of the population. There is a strong negative correlation between IQ and religious belief, in every country's population in the world except the US.....i think the hidden variable is small autonomous government.
Bush destroyed that model.
Now Obama is not only going to institute nat'l healthcare, but he will steal the faith based initiative and bricolage local churches into welfare engines.
I for one welcome the endless reign of Our New Liberal Overlords.
They couldn't be any worse.
That is ended.

The Party of teh Stupid is now the demographic minority.
The repubs have just provided us with an empirical demonstration that they are obstructionist, reactionary, and POWERLESS.
Good luck with that.

Mostly I am just awestruck by Obama. He is one move ahead of the repubs right down line.
I keep going back to my Game Theory texts and marvelling over seeing EGT play out in the political theater.
Of course, it helps that the old dinosaurs Republican leadership falls right into Obamas clever mammalian traps everytime.
