As a government employee, you can't testify against the government.
What are the Democrats, the party of Jim Matheson, telling them? The message of the Democrats is that the Amercian dream is over. 'The government is all you have. Give up your dreams, and the government will save you, the government will heal you, th...
For some in Washington, it's become sport to pick on the federal workforce. I think they do so unjustly. The very foundation of a stable America is having a government that functions well. Many countries have dysfunctional governments, because they d...
Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.
In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

I certainly believe in limited government but protecting children against injury abuse is certainly inside my sphere of things that the government should do.

When there’s a vacuum of public input, lobbyists usually fill it. But when there’s public input, the people usually win.
