It should be plain by now that we have too much government. Strip searches, confiscated homes, stolen children, denial of due process, war without end. Sounds like life in a Third World country, doesn’t it? But this is our own federal government ‘for, of, and by the people,’ invading our personal lives, supposedly for our own good.

Government Creep: What the Government Is Doing That You Don’t Know About shows how Uncle Sam has now become a dysfunctional parent — standing guard in our bedrooms to ‘protect’ consenting adults from each other, peering at what we read to see if we’re ‘corrupting’ ourselves or someone else, making it impossible to run a small business, incarcerating our children and confiscating our homes under laws that make freedom lovers shudder.
