Big Government politicians go to Washington, D.C. or your state capitol with a pen - to write new laws and expand government programs.
Small government politicians go with an eraser - to reduce, remove, repeal, and roll back Big Government powers and programs.
Big Government politicians go to Congress or the legislature to do Big Government’s work.
Small government politicians go to UN-do Big Government.
Big Government politicians are held back by their own “Do Nothing” allies.
Small government politicians are held back by our own “UN-do Nothing” allies.
Numerous elected politicians proclaim their support for smaller government. Many campaign for reducing and removing waste from federal and state government budgets.
But they Un-do nothing. Few even try.
They carp and complain and campaign against Big Government. But they UN-do nothing.
They do NOT introduce bills to reduce, remove, repeal, or roll back Big Government programs or spending.
They do NOT try to amend spending bills with a dramatically lower spending amount.
They do NOT introduce bills to repeal Big Government laws and regulations currently on the books.
They do NOT try to dismantle or cut back existing Big Government economic and social programs.
This applies at all levels of government. We need to bring the accountability and decision making back to the people. The only way to do that is with a plan to decentralize government. Decisions and programs need to be taken out of the hands of the Federal and State governments and transferred back to the communities. Only then will the people making decisions also have to live with the consequences of those decisions.

An article in today’s Buffalo News had a quite good analysis of why intelligent people were so quick to condemn the Duke lacrosse players for the alleged rape of a dancer.
The answer is implicit in the question. Notwithstanding the rich brain trust created by the three points of North Carolina’s “Triangle” - Duke in Durham, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University in Raleigh - university communities are fertile breeding grounds for the totalitarian mindset known as political correctness.
Between a perverse form of liberation feminism that sanctifies strippers, prostitutes and porn stars, and a dogma of victimology that places blame for all things at the feet of the white patriarchy, the players were instantaneously presumed guilty by virtue of their being white males and privileged jocks.
By the same reasoning, the dancer was assured victimhood by her status as a black single mother/student, reduced by centuries of white-male oppression to stripping for food and tuition.
Slowly, it seems that justice will eventually prevail. The rape charges were dropped. However, there are still other pending charges that should also be dropped as a result of the ever changing story of the “victim.” Nifong, the initial over zealous D.A., should be disbarred for the travesty he created.

Hillary Clinton wants to be the first Woman President.
Barrack Obama wants to be the first Black President.
Bill Richardson wants to be the first Hispanic President.
I personally don’t care about race, sex, gender, religion or any other meaningless characteristic. I want the next president to have a thorough knowledge of economics, honesty and the ability to restore this country to greatness.
There is only one person considering a run at the Whitehouse who fits that description - Rep. Ron Paul, Texas. Watch the following video and you will see him addressing Congress. He is to the point and not pandering for votes. He is the commonsense choice for President.
