Small Government Is Still The Best Government

Small government is still the best government.

First and foremost, and the smallest of goverment is self government, meaning self-control and discipline with personal responsibility. After that, then there is good parenthood and government of the family. Then, there is the "Village". The "Village" is not the same as public office or goverment; big or small, but all in the immediate community. Close proximity is best way to properly judge people and a matter and so determine best solution and have the widest net cast.

The smaller the group, the easier it is to make group decisions because each can personally examine and judge for their selves and make reasonable, viable arguments based on the facts.

The larger the body of people the less likely the above is so, and thus ideolgy and preferences, and other non-essential and non-revelant answers may enter the equation and harm more than heal.

It is the above reasoning that though straight democracy is good, since all of America can never be close enough to all issues to be well informed and knowledgable of every minor or major detail of ever minor or major issue, that rule or government by referendum does not work, federally but can in some cases locally be an option, but it must be case by case.

Thus the founders built America to be a Republic that democratically elects representatives to become that small group where within it, real democracy and group decision making can work.

The entire nation depends on the integrity, good character, wisdom, servitude, sincerity, and authenticity of the smaller body, and also for that smaller elected group of representatives to will to always do the right thing whether popular or despised by the whole, as long as it is based on sound judgment, fact and the law of the land.

The whole must accept the reasoning and decisions of whom they elected or else the system can not flow properly and move us all forward in a good way. This is why we have been in a virtual stand still, and or are constantly revisiting and retreading the same issues. Both Leadership, passing the buck and trying to rule by mandate and referendum as a cover, and Constituents trying to lead and bully Governmental Public Servants into doing their will only, even when they could not possibly have all the facts or are wrong and out of sync with our foundation; the Constitution, is on both parts socialistic and not a strong Republic.

I, now and always, will pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, One Nation, under God, INDIVISIBLE, with Liberty and Justice FOR ALL.

This is not to say all or each of "We The People" at any time can not use the First Amendment to protest and with free speech give dissent regarding any legislation, policy or decision the Umbrella makes. Also, if the representaves are out of step with the Constitution, we have our remedies. But when it just doesn't go your way, we must grow up, consider every angle of why the answer is what it is, take a civics course or two, take a deep breath, and say God Bless America.

These things are right. Back to the Basics.
