| Subject: Dear Conservative: Your Moral Ideal of Self-Sacrifice + Belief in Original Sin = Big Government Sun Nov 08, 2015 5:01 pm | |
| There is a lot of complaining among conservatives these days about “big government”: Washington has too much power, taxes are increasing, new and old regulations are stifling the economy, judicial overreach is running rampant. Yet, despite a plethora of conservative presidential hopefuls, nobody seems to have the will or ability to put forth a comprehensive plan for getting us out of this hole. Where are the bold plans for de-regulation and tax cuts, and for returning control of retirement, health care and education to individual Americans?
The fundamental answer is that such bold plans would go against the morality and view of human nature that all conservative candidates, and most of their voting grassroots, subscribe to. Deep down inside they feel uncomfortable with championing the individual rights of Americans to manage their own lives without government interference, or worse, believe that they are not able to.
It is time to shake up the status quo. Here is an admittedly somewhat stern letter to conservatives that hopefully will serve as a wake up call for those of an independent mind and with the courage to adjust their beliefs when faced with inconvenient facts.
