"Government is not the solution, government is the problem!"

Question:

 "Reagan Was Right: Government Is the Problem"  by Charlton Heston

I missed most of the discussion on this. Does this refer to a book, speech, or newspaper article? If one of the latter, could someone please post it (or part of it). I would like to hear what the man has to say, believe it or not. |  Christian Struble       |  To shield people from the consequences   | |  Mechanical Engineering  |  of their own folly is to fill the        | |  University of Houston   |  world with fools                         |        

Response:

  "Reagan Was Right: Government Is the Problem"   by Charlton Heston   It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once. David Hume,   the great Scottish philosopher, said that. I am a Scot myself. He was   bloody right. For more than half a century, the shining Republic created   by the blood of the Continental Army and a few great men has been nearly   nibbled to death by the Democratic ducks in the Congress and a warmly   cooperative Supreme Court.   There is now no aspect of American life, public or private, that the   federal government does not invade, instruct and finally coerce to its   will. Farm and factory, home and school, university and research center,   club and playground — all are overlaid with a spidery network of laws,   guidlines, restrictions and Draconian penalties that stifle the spirit,   the energy, the creative capacity of what was once the freest nation on   earth. In this hemisphere, now that Ortega and Noriega have fallen, the   collectivists’ sentiments discredited around the world fly best, I fear   in Cuba and Washington D.C.   Of course, government is the problem. The armies of bureaucrats   proliferating like gerbils, scurrying like lemmings in pursuit of the   ever-expanding federal agenda testify to that amply. Tom Jefferson, the   only genius we ever had, said that government is best which governs   least. I am amazed you Democrats are still comfortable with Mr. Jefferson   as your designated logo.   Imprimis   Hillsdale College   Hillsdale, MI  49242 Free subscriptions available upon request.

Please, he can’t even begin to approach the output of Harel, et al. Or is tons of leftist crap fine, but some anti-leftist crap intolerable? — Taxes:  The one of life’s two certainties for which you can get an extension.

        I find it interesting that rather than refute the essay, you just declare it "crap", as if your opinion were law.  I also find it amusing that despite the preponderance of leftist tripe, you (and doubtless others like you) go ballistic if someone dares post a single dissenting article. This *is* political correctness in action.         BTW, it’s a good idea, you didn’t try to refute Ed Ipser’s article, because Reagan *was* right!                                                 Cordially,                                                 YYZ — Donald C.
