My friend you just made the best case you possibly could for limiting government.

That exact sentiment was a huge influence in the founding of this country.
THAT idea is why the Constitution is SO clear and why we need to stick with it.
IT limits the amount of damage a President can do.
IT limits the Congress
IT limits the courts

we are on the same page
you just don't realize it

the idea of the Constitution was to severely limit the reach and power of the central government so as to create the least possible harm to the rights of the states and the people

the STATES created the Federal gov

doesn't that seem strange now?
the states creating the Federal government?

the founding fathers tried to create the LEAST destructive gov possible
because they knew it was dangerous

Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force, like fire, a troublesome servant and a terrible master.

and another I hadn't seen from Mr GW himself!
