For my family, Christmas presents an opportunity for reiterating the true meaning of Christmas to our children. It is also a special time when we teach our children humility and how much better it is to give and help others. Traditional family values are a sacred liberty provided to all Americans, not to be infringed upon by any government or educational institution.
Diverse celebrations
Christmas is freely celebrated by various cultures within this great nation, together these cultures make up this one-of-a-kind Constitutional Republic. For those of us who believe in the Birth and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christmas is a time to be grateful for all He has done, as well as the things yet to come.
Jesus had no servants, yet they called Him Master.
He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.
He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer.
Jesus had no army, yet kings feared Him.
He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.
Fun fact
“The red-leafed plant was introduced to the United States by botanist and statesman Joel Poinsett (1779-1851), who as the first U.S. Minister to Mexico found the plant while serving there.”
As we “close the books” in 2021, I would like to express a special thank you to everyone who has supported the Texas Conservative Party. All of the personal sacrifices and contributions are greatly appreciated beyond measure. Without you all none of this would be possible! Y’all are a true blessing to myself as well as the Texas Conservative Party.
Moving forward
Going forward into the new year, members and volunteers have been collaborating to set the party’s path for 2022. Many exciting projects will be launched in the upcoming year, stay tuned as these will be announced soon.
“This Declaration of Rights is declared to be a part of this Constitution, and shall never be violated on any pretence whatsoever. And in order to guard against the transgression of the high powers which we have delegated, we declare that every thing in this bill of rights contained, and every other right not hereby delegated, is reserved to the People.” Preamble Texas Declaration of Rights
Howdy fellow Texans,
Remember the “good ol’ days” when Texans used to close deals based on a hand shake, or one’s word? In today’s society we the people must utilize attorneys to draw up contracts filled with legal jargon that most laymen have no idea what they’re signing up for. Ironically, we do take the attorney’s word of mouth as to the contents of the contract. Essentially, the credibility of the average Texan has been overshadowed as we place our faith and trust in “the professionals.”
The blessings:
It is safe to say that the majority of us today come from a lineage of immigrants from other countries which came to America to seek a better life, quality education, liberties and freedoms that their homeland did not support. As we all are aware, the Constitution coupled with the Bill of Rights’ are in place to limit government powers over the people and ensure all Americans have access to these opportunities for generations to come. We the people were given a gift, a gift we must protect at all costs.
The problem:
Since the 1800’s the “political machine” has been evolving into a runaway train consuming everything in its path in the wake of money, power and ultimately greed. In its plight to remove the power from we the people and achieve power over the people, it has finally succeeded, or at least the current administration in its warped thinking believes so!
How did it get so powerful, so fast, and place the American people in such a submissive state, surrendering the very liberties and freedoms our founders and forefathers sacrificed so much for? The answer is simple, we the people!
For decades, we the people have been placing the destiny of our future in the hands of “the professionals” with our most fundamental and critical rights as Americans. Whether it is from political parties, friends, popular people, etc. We seek direction from all of the incorrect places. Sure, it is human nature to search the easier path for the opinion of others and find a scapegoat or someone to blame when things go awry. And usually it is the head of a business, an organization, or the president of the United States. But the root cause falls right back in our laps, we the people.
Accepting responsibility:
If we are going to fix this situation we find ourselves in, we the people must take an honest, hard look in the mirror. We the people must accept full responsibility for voting for all of the wrong reasons:
We have voted for particular parties, because we have always been told something like, “as long as the XXXX party wins we’ll be ok.”
We the people must accept responsibility for voting for candidates because they are popular, or “professionals” then to find out that they become entrenched with the corruption, or lack the like minded support to overcome it.
We the people must accept responsibility for taking candidates at face value and believing what they say. Too many times it has never been about the people, rather promises made and promises broken. A person’s actions speak so loud they cannot be heard.
Yes, it is members from both of the 2-party establishment that are responsible for stripping our freedoms and liberties away from the grip of Americans. With little or no accountability from the party supporting them. But ultimately, it is we the people who put them in that position and allowed this to happen over and over again. How can we expect to hold our representatives accountable if we are unable to hold ourselves accountable?
“However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” Does this quote by George Washington sound familiar?
The solution:
What are we the people going to do about it? The Constitution is one of two effective resources provided to us centuries ago to qualify candidates. If we would only utilize this blessing to judge one’s character and stances. That’s not to say a candidate qualified as a Conservative when we elected them, then they fall into the surrounding tyrants once elected. But in reality, how many true Conservatives do we know of that have honestly done that? Only a handful? Therefore, the chances are slim. In addition, when our Conservative elected public servants do choose the wayward path of tyranny and deceit, what do we the people do about it? For one, the party should hold them accountable, which never happens from the two major parties. Secondly, we the people should follow through. It’s not over when we successfully elect our candidate, in fact that’s just the beginning. Just as a CEO of a corporation monitors its employees, we must constantly monitor the performance of our representatives. If we find them straying away from Constitutional principles, promises, or obligations we the people must act right then and find a replacement.
The second effective resource is the Word of God. There are two things which are non-negotiable, God’s Word and the Constitution!
Similar to the Constitution, God commands us to take action first, then the gifts will be given.
“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Joshua 1:8
Only if we protect the Constitution first, then it too will protect us.
Taking action:
To rectify this mess, we must return to the basics.
First,
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
Turn to God FIRST when seeking advice, trust Him not our own logic.
Secondly,
Texas Constitution Art. 1, Sec. 2. INHERENT POLITICAL POWER; REPUBLICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. All political power is inherent in the people, and all free
governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit. The faith of the people of Texas stands pledged to the preservation of a republican
form of government, and, subject to this limitation only, they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform or abolish their government in such manner as they may think expedient.
If we the people would have been actively working our inalienable right over the past decades we wouldn’t be here now.
With the 2022 primary elections are on the horizon it is imperative that we the people go to the polls, not only show up to perform our right to vote and our duty to fight tyranny, but we must also remove the red and blue blinders and zero in on what’s really important, the candidates! Starting at the local governmental levels all of the way up, it is our duty to know every candidate we vote for and have a clear understanding why we are voting for them.
We must protect election integrity to protect our liberties and freedoms. Does your candidate support election audits? There is absolutely no reason not to! This is our voice, we the people. Just as a CEO of a corporation conducts annual audits for company compliance, good or bad, win or lose it’s all about integrity. We must also have representation who will protect our sacred right to a fair election!
Do our candidates absolutely support our constitutional rights? Or do they want to infringe on the constitution, as seen in DC, or even in the slightest right here in Texas? As stated in the Texas Bill of Rights preamble above, “…shall never be violated on any pretence whatsoever.” There is absolutely no justification to infringe on the constitution.
The Texas Conservative Party is dedicated to researching and promoting true Conservatives within the great State of Texas. What makes a true Conservative? A true Conservative understands it is a way of life, not a catch phrase or marketing tool. A true Conservative has Godly beliefs, family values and they stand firm on unwavering principles. The Texas Conservative Party is offering a challenge when you go to the polls in March. Let’s do something very uncomfortable, let’s step out of our comfort zones, avoid the ways of the past. Let’s honestly seek God first, then let’s qualify our employees and only give the job to those who have proven themselves worthy to serve us, we the people. Regardless of party affiliation, popularity, peer pressure, etc.
The 2-party establishment continues to bartering our freedoms and liberties away, guises as a desperate piece of legislation.
This long anticipated bill went into effect September 1, 2021. Texas HB 1927 authored by Rep. Schafer titled “Firearm Carry Act of 2021”, aka “Constitutional Carry”. On its surface it presents itself to return the citizen’s liberties and freedoms. Texas became to 21st state to pass legislation which returns some freedoms and liberties to the citizens of its state which have been abducted by government over reach. But what did we sacrifice to get what is rightfully ours? Just how constitutional is the “Constitutional Carry” bill really?
The Second Amendment to the US Constitution states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
In 1835-1836 the framers of the Texas Declaration of Rights penned the right to bear arms this way, “Every citizen shall have the right to bear arms in defence of himself and the Republic. The military shall at all times and in all cases be subordinate to the civil power.”
As of 2019 the Texas Constitution has been amended 507 times since its adoption in 1836, (183 years). Were the framers really that incompetent? I certainly do not think so. Why then has it been amended more than any other constitution? Possibly because there wasn’t enough government involvement? The latest revised Texas Constitution pertaining to the right to bear arms has provided us with a cute little caveat added to it.
THE 2019 TEXAS CONSTITUTION ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS
Sec. A23.
A RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS.
“Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
Both the U.S. Constitution and the current Texas Bill of Rights do indeed recognize the right to keep and bear arms, which places the state of Texas in direct violation of both Constitutions for decades. But in an ill attempt to right a wrong, the 2-party establishment obviously butchered our constitutional freedoms and liberties and dressed up HB 1927 to appease Texans.
As great as it is to finally have our rights recognized by our state, H.B. No. 1927 preface opens with two Constitutional infringements. “AN ACT relating to provisions governing the carrying of a firearm by a person who is 21 years of age or older and not otherwise prohibited by state or federal law from possessing the firearm and to other provisions related to the carrying, possessing, transporting, or storing of a firearm or other weapon; creating criminal offenses.”
By placing the age at 21 years old, blatantly disregards service men and women serving in our armed forces, college age students, etc. Nor, is this decision based on the Texas Constitution because it clearly states “every citizen.” Therefore, where did this come from and why is it law if not supported by the Constitution? Oh but wait there’s more, according to the bill’s own preface it also states that citizens must be qualified to keep and bear arms. We all are aware that the criminal element is going to carry weapons regardless of the law. HB 1927 is unconstitutional before it even gets started by qualifying persons and setting age limits on it’s citizens.
Digging a little deeper into the bill, many more Constitutional infringements are located. The following list depicts these infringements.
Persons who can not carry per HB 1927:
Persons with convictions
Persons completed a veterans treatment court program
Persons completed a mental health court program
Persons completed a pretrial intervention program
Again, the Texas Constitution does not place stipulations on citizens. It leaves one wonder if the Legislators researched other options to guarantee “every citizen” their Constitutional right, or if this was part of a bartering process to gain support.
Places firearms are not permitted per HB 1927:
School or educational institution
Polling places on election day
Government court or offices utilized by the court,
Horse racetrack
Airport secured area
Alcohol friendly business
High school, collegiate, or professional sporting event
Correctional facility
Civil commitment facility
Mental hospital
Amusement park
Room or rooms where a meeting of a governmental entity is held
Institution of higher education
The Texas Constitution does not mention anything about where firearms are or are not permitted, therefore one must believe that these restrictions are in good faith “with a view to prevent crime.” But, according to the bill’s own preamble we have been qualified as law abiding citizens. Therefore, it makes one wonder exactly what crime are they thinking they are preventing? Oh, I see it must be at the schools and amusement parks. But wait a minute, who hangs out at these places? Kids! What type of people hang out where kids hang out? Pedophiles and child abductors!
I have spent hours researching Representative Schafer and I can state that he is, by far, one of the top Constitutional Conservative in Austin, Texas. These infringements would not be in this law if he had more, adequate backing from like minded colleges rather than the special interest of the majority Austin politicians. Unfortunately, in today’s non-firearm culture we live with FEAR of firearms. Therefore, we quietly accept constitutional infringements set forth by the 2-party establishment & continually re-elect the very politicians that are responsible for depriving Texans of their Constitutional rights.
It’s no wonder that Texas is losing it’s conservative values!
House = Out of 149 members, 21 are conservative (14%) Senate = Out 30 members, 2 are conservative (6%) AG Ken Paxton’s record is 94% conservative Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s record is 85% conservative Governor Greg Abbott = ?

Governor Abbott’s office has issued a Press Release regarding Second Amendment Legislation Signed Into Law
“Politicians from the federal level to the local level have threatened to take guns from law-abiding citizens — but we will not let that happen in Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “Texas will always be the leader in defending the Second Amendment, which is why we built a barrier around gun rights this session. These seven laws will protect the rights of law-abiding citizens and ensure that Texas remains a bastion of freedom. Thank you to the Texas Legislature for getting these bills to my desk.”
Senate Bill 19 prohibits any governmental entity from contracting with any business that discriminates against firearm and ammunition businesses or organizations.
Senate Bill 20 allows guests to store firearms in their hotel rooms.
Senate Bill 550 removes the shoulder or belt holster requirements, allowing Texans to carry firearms in whatever kind of holster they choose.
House Bill 957 repeals the criminal offense of possessing, manufacturing, transporting, or repairing a firearm silencer. It also ensures that any firearm suppressor manufactured in Texas, and that remains in Texas, will not be subject to federal law or federal regulation.
House Bill 1500 prevents any government entity from prohibiting the sale or transportation of firearms or ammunition during a declared disaster or emergency.
House Bill 1927 authorizes Constitutional Carry in Texas, meaning law-abiding Texans can legally carry a handgun without a license to carry.
House Bill 2622 makes Texas a Second Amendment Sanctuary State by protecting Texans from new federal gun control regulations.
“Our bill is the best in nation,” said Rep. Steve Toth (R-The Woodlands). “With HB 3979, Texas will protect students and teachers from racial stereotyping and scapegoating. On the other hand, Illinois is actually firing teachers who don’t teach their students this hateful nonsense.” According to a joint statement from Toth and Senator Brandon
Creighton (R-Conroe), “HB 3979 is one of the strongest protections from Critical Race Theory in the country. The bill strengthens the civic knowledge of students in Texas by requiring an understanding of the foundations of the United States and promotes harmony in the classroom by prohibiting the teaching of racial superiority or collective guilt.”

“Texas will build a border wall in our state to help secure our border,” Abbott said,and expects people to both donate their own money and volunteer their land for the barrier. “My belief based upon conversations that I’ve already had is that the combination of state land as well as volunteer land will yield hundreds of miles to build a border wall in Texas.”
“The Biden administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in US history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in US history,” Trump said.

Community Impact
Many celebrations were canceled in 2020, so be sure to make up for it this year!
“These will be wonderful but hard-hitting sessions where we’ll talk about the real problems happening in the U.S., those that the fake news media never mention. I will be focusing on greatness for our Country, something seldom discussed in political dialogue.If we don’t make our country great again, we will soon no longer have a country! It will be fun, fun, fun, for everyone who attends!” said Trump. O’Reilly also released a statement about the upcoming events: “My job as a historian/journalist is to get important things on the record in a fact-based way. These conversations with the 45th President will not be boring.”

Keeping the Faith
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Lord our God, our loving Father, we thank you for all that we receive from you. We thank you for the community you give us, strengthening us to face life through toil and struggles. May you give us strength and courage, and may we see you more clearly. May your Spirit fill us ever more deeply to bring peace to us and those around us, and to bring blessing for our nation, and to all peoples of the earth. Amen.
After much anticipation, Texas has been celebrating the House passage of HB 1927 on 4/16/2021. Supported by 8 House Democrats the bill passed with an 87 to 58 vote. Rep. Meyer was the sole House Republican to oppose the bill. The citizens of Texas have been waiting for the last decade to get a piece of legislation to pass. The passage of this bill is one step closer to allowing law-abiding citizens an equal opportunity of defending themselves and others against the illegally armed perpetrators whose intent is to cause harm, mayhem and carnage.
As attempts to derail HB 1927 mount, on Monday 4/19/2021 Lt. Governor Patrick stated, “If we have the votes to pass a permitless carry bill off the Senate floor, I will move it. At this point, we don’t have the votes on the floor to pass it. I plan to meet with law enforcement who oppose permitless carry and with the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America who support it to see if we can find a path that a majority of senators will vote to pass.” The three major law enforcement groups he is referring to are Houston PD, Dallas PD, and Austin PD which are Liberal Police Chiefs. Also circulating are articles utilizing religion and religious leaders as a course of a deterrent. This news is extremely discouraging to the Texas citizens who thought this could be the year. It appears the state platform isn’t much different than the federal platform when it comes to pushing a narrative.
The opposition has severely demonized firearms to point that the very word “gun” sends people into panic attacks. Let’s take a step back and slow things down a bit to look at the root causes of the controversy by observing some facts:
Fact: My guns have never, not once jumped up from the table, storage cabinet, locker, or what have you and shot anyone. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.
Fact: The family unit is broken, nobody is talking about it and lawmakers will never fix it by passing gun restrictive legislation. An article published by Real Clear Politics titled “Of 27 deadliest mass shooters, 26 of them were fatherless” explains the damage done to children when raised fatherless. The odds for an individual to die in a mass shooting are about one in 3.3 million, about the same as being struck by lightning.
Fact: Although tragic, the sad fact is that passing away from “Natural Causes” or “Suicide” is not as appealing to the media as a good ol’ “gunned down” story which contributes to the negative hype on gun violence. According to the CDC’s website, the top ten leading causes of death in Texas are, in order, Heart Disease, Cancer, Accidents, Stroke, Chronic Lower Repository Disease, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Chronic Liver Disease, Kidney Disease, and Suicide. They go on to state that 6 of every 10 firearm deaths are suicides, while 3 of every 10 are homicides.
Fact: Automobile fatalities vs homicide by guns is a tricky calculation due to the multitude of factors involved. We’ll use “accidental” as an example. In 2013, 99.4% of car deaths were accidental in nature. In sharp contrast, only 1.8% of gun deaths were accidental. In all fairness, intentional gun deaths are higher than intentional vehicle deaths. But there are those cases of road rage, intentional vehicular homicide, and the like. But I’m sure those statistics will become inverted once lawmakers figure out how to disarm the criminals. Criminals are going to break the law, they are going to do whatever it is they have their minds made up to do and no sign, no law, nothing is going to prevent them from attempting to carrying that out. Take away the guns, they’ll use a vehicle, a knife, tire tool, their fists, weapons of opportunity. It’s the mindset, not the instrument used.
HOPE
This year is going to be eventful for all Americans, especially with the uncertainties constantly being forced upon the citizens of the United States by the DC Establishment. Freedom of speech has all but vanished, the right to bear arms is being chiseled away, God is mocked, ridiculed, and eliminated from society. The deplorable southern border crisis continues to wreak havoc on the area residents, the state’s economy, and the state’s resources. Unemployment is constantly rising, coupled with escalating fuel costs and taxes. All compliments from the very ones who have sworn an oath, defending our God Given Rights to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. No where in the Constitution is God mentioned but he is 4 times in the Declaration of Independence.
We are living in a very different society where lies are truth and truth are lies. Where freedom is shackled and shackles are freedom. Where peace is anarchy and anarchy is peace. Where liberty is bias and bias is liberty. Everything we have known and grown accustomed to has completely flipped.
This year, more than ever is especially a time for Conservatives to make our presence known and our voices heard. This is the year to get involved, build relationships with fellow citizens, with our state and local officials, and local law enforcement. In these perilous times, people need to know there is hope, there are Conservative forces fighting back. They need to know there are people with Conservative principles, beliefs, and values working with local churches, local and state governments to protect them, protect their families, and protect their civil liberties.
Daddy, where did all of the lands go?
In Biden’s EO# 14008 signed in January during his flurry to erase President Trump from the history books, the EO essentially grants the federal government possession of 30% of all land and water. This sign of aggression was immediately met with push back from 17 governors on February 22 warning the Biden Administration against federal overreach. Texas Governor Abbott joined the charge on April 21, well maybe not the charge we would have liked, but he did send a letter as well.
In 2015, GH America Investment Group purchased over 130,000 acres of property in Val Verde County, Del Rio being the county seat. GH America is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Xinjiang-based Guanghui Industry Investment Group. Xinjiang is notorious for its so-called “re-education” camps, where China detains Uighur Muslims and other ethnic minorities against their will and violates their human rights.
In 2015 the President was Obama and Texas Governor was and still is Abbott. Although Gov. Abbott’s 2021 priorities had extremely important measures, this issue failed to make the list. In fact, it hasn’t made any lists in the last 6 years. Nope, not even Lt. Governor Patrick’s. This issue just seems to fly under the radar, it’s not an issue concerning any of the declared candidates for 2022 either. Maybe it’s just me!
It had been many years since I purchased a new home and admittedly out of the loop on the subject. Then in 2015 my wife and I were excited when we finally got in a position to make this investment. We purchased our home in a cute, little subdivision within the city limits of Conroe, it was perfect for us. As we are filling out the multiple contracts, which was thicker than the Old Testament, I noticed that the land which our new, perfect little house sits on belongs to the City of Conroe, of course with all mineral rights. Wow, I thought to myself we really don’t OWN anything.
In closing, when our children ask us where all of the lands went, now we know.
“Most bad government has grown out of too much government.”
The State of Texas Constitution was written for the Republic of Texas, as the document which established the structure and function of the government, as well as listing the basic rights for the citizens of Texas. Through out the short 185 years of its existence there have been 690 proposed amendments. Of that total, 507 were approved by the electorate, 180 were defeated, and 3 never made it on the ballot. This sacred document has been under attack since its conception, therefore it is crucial that we continue to tactfully build from it and protect its full integrity at all costs, not allowing it to erode away.
Which representation do you want?
Essentially there are only two types of representation we receive from our elected officials in Congress. The first type expands our freedoms while limiting government, and the second type expands government freedoms while limiting our freedoms and liberties. In defense of today’s radical amendment requests some say, “ well that was written a long time ago, times have changed and it’s not practical today.” My short answer to that is, “well the Bible was written over 2,000 years ago, times have changed is it not practical today either?” When considering to support bills, candidates or other political matters I believe JFK said it best, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer…”. Our decisions should not be party based, but rather what is right, what is right for our state, our country, our families, and our children. Laws do one of two things, they either enhance the liberties we already have or they assault them. Law-abiding citizens do follow the laws. You could arm a law-abiding citizen with AR-15, send them walking down the street and NOTHING would happen. But criminals do not care how many laws exists, nor how stringent the laws may be, how many “No Guns” signs are displayed on school lawns, or in business windows. By disarming law abiding citizens they will inevitably create more victims and carnage. I never met a criminal who was deterred by law, (if the deterrent mentality was effective then criminals would be extinct).
What is the assurance we are choosing the right answer?
Know the Candidates You Vote For
“I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.” Andrew Jackson. The same holds true within the state and local governments 200 years later.
With mid-term elections approaching November 7, 2022, we need to begin to learn the respective candidates coming up for re-election in 2022 as well as their opponents in the primary elections. We need to know what they stand for and what they’re against. Growing up I was taught, “Your actions speak so loud I can’t hear what you’re saying.” We can tell everything we need to know about a person by their actions and in politics I believe this philosophy holds true. In order to gain an objective perspective on the true character of our Senators and Representatives a good place to start is reviewing the legislation they have filed.
We are ultimately voting for the entire population of Texas, from our children to our senior citizens. According to the Census Bureau of the United States, as of July 1, 2019, Texas is home to 28,995,881 million citizens. 25.5% being children & 12.9% being over the age of 65. Most of our seniors are trying to survive on a meager fixed income who cannot afford extra expenditures.
Research then decide if your Representative and Senator are in alignment with the Texas Constitution. Are they clinging to our beliefs? Are they fighting for our freedoms? Or, are they over reaching, restrictive and trying to take away our liberties.
“Most bad government has grown out of too much government.”
