Government is YOU

Redbaiter (3,760) Says: 

What would you do to reduce crime Reddy? You can do change laws however you want- you’re in charge, you’re the govt- what do you change from the way the country is now to reduce or eliminate crime?
For fuck’s sake man, you’re head is just so far away from understanding the real problem I don’t know where to begin.
Its not the “gummint”. Fixing it is not going to be down to the government.
Its a social cultural problem.
Whereas the situation is exacerbated by having Progressives in government, its not the real problem.
The problem is you and only you can solve it.
Not the government.
YOU YOU YOU.
“Human rights can only be assured among a virtuous people. The general government . . . can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any despotic or oppresive form so long as there is any virtue in the body of the people.”
George Washington
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become more corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Laws without morals are in vain.”
Benjamin Franklin (Motto of the University of Pennsylvania)
“Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power.”
Benjamin Franklin
“A nation as a society forms a moral person, and every member of it is personally responsible for his society.”
Thomas Jefferson
“No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and . . . . their minds are to be informed by education what is right and what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and to be deterred from those of vice . . . . These are the inculcation s necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure and order of government.”
Thomas Jefferson
“It is in the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigour. . . . degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats into the heart of its laws and constitution.”
Thomas Jefferson
nasska (6,858) Says: 
“-You have no respect for excessive authority or obsolete traditions. You’re dangerous and depraved, and you ought to be taken outside and shot!”
― Joseph Heller, Catch-22
Nasska with his constant sneering at anybody who challenges his Progressive political views, and his complete and utter contempt for the habits and conventions that once made our society civil is a good example of the reason why so many people believe we now must have constant surveillance of the citizenry. A social white ant of the worst kind, and that kind is at the heart of our society’s degeneration.
“What are the ‘conscienceless lies’?”
Are you really that dim you can’t find them?
That utopia will come if we just allow gummint to shape and mold us. Especially our children.
That families and moral codes are only fit for sneering at and mocking.
That our society is “progressing” and not degenerating.
That crime is something we just have to live with, no matter how bad it gets.
That more police and more jails will save us from a degenerate society.
That you need a time machine to turn it back- perhaps one of the most gutless and cowardly ones of all. Mussolini and fascism were turned back. So were Hitler and Nazism. All as popular among the chattering classes as Progressivism is today.
There’s no reason we can’t turn back Progressivism. All we need to do is turn our backs on those who preach it and proselytize for it.
That is only a few of the lies off the top of my head. There are hundreds of them. All propagated by the same brain damaged proslytizers for the cause of Progressivism.
I’m sure you can think of a few more. Can’t you?
