In short, when you believe that power can fix everything and that virtue is the goal of government, you're going to orient away from the sort of democratic pluralism that undergirds the requirement for liberty. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a phenomenon with cross-partisan appeal, although it doesn't fall evenly across the political spectrum. But this phenomenon isn't rooted chiefly in antagonism thanks to perceived threat. It's simply rooted in utopianism and reliance on government as that messianic power. — PolitiTweet.org

There are true virtues worth embodying via the federal government. But those virtues must be liberty-oriented, directed against the greatest threat to actual virtue: not the individual or local community, but the federal government itself. Subsidiarity is key. — PolitiTweet.org
