3 December 2020 Scott Walker One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people – and not the other way around.
3 December 2020 Kevin Mitnick No way, no how did I break into NORAD. That’s a complete myth. And I never attempted to access anything considered to be classified government systems.

3 December 2020 Tony Blair I cannot think of any circumstances in which a government can go to war without the support of parliament.
3 December 2020 Jonathan Krohn In the book I define conservatism, as I believe it is fit upon four categories of principle: respect for The Constitution, respect for life, less government, and personal responsibility.
3 December 2020 Gary Bauer Big-government proponents embrace both the power of the federal government and the idea that millions of Americans ought to be dependent on its largesse. It’s time to return to our Founders’ love for small government. More is not always better.
3 December 2020 Vladimir Putin History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.
3 December 2020 William J. Clinton The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we’d have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.
3 December 2020 Benazir Bhutto The government I led gave ordinary people peace, security, dignity, and opportunity to progress.

3 December 2020 Noam Chomsky If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don’t have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.
3 December 2020 Sarah Palin Our government needs to adopt a pro-market agenda that doesn’t pick winners and losers, but it invites competition and it levels the playing field for everyone.

3 December 2020 Jim DeMint Motorists who want to save money on gas will demand and buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. We should not limit their freedom with more government regulations.
