... Big government is almost never smart, effective government, as Obamacare is proving. And fixing big government has almost always meant making it smaller while expanding freedom. The other problem is that I do not wish to live in a society where individuals feel they exist at governments pleasure--that we ought to be grateful for the air we breathe, as Obama put it. Unlike other immigrants, my family and I did not come from a place were we were doomed to poverty, but where we might have enjoyed great wealth. We gave that up because we preferred to live in a country where people are equally free. I want to like Obama. But I cannot compromise with Obama because he is asking me to accept things about government that I know to be untrue, and because he wants to put beyond discussion the very things that must be debated. I cannot find common ground with a leader who blames my freedom of speech for his failure to govern. That idea is the basis of tyranny, not democracy, and there is no room for compromise with that.
