I wouldn't want my government to take the lead on liberal causes... |

Just as I didn't want it to take the lead on conservative ones.
My government's real job is to obey the law.
It's the people from whom I want take the lead taken. And the people, for the most part, have always wanted a progressive direction for the nation.
I just want my government to stop standing in the way and do what's best for everybody.

1. Call me old fashioned but isn't our government supposed to be the people? |
|
It's far from where it can be, but the role of government is to run the country in such a way that the most good happens for the most people? We elect the people who then use our money to make our quality of life the best it can be.
I know that's really simplistic, but it's a good ideal. And not impossible to do.
