I assume you are saying: Not to use the term "small government" when arguing about the illogic of it, but to frame our own terms. If so, I agree. I was hoping this article would attract those who aren't sure of were they stand; that when they hear that term again, they would know it isn't at all what it implies -- as with almost all of the conservative terminology. thanks Yes, I agree about not using their labels.

The issue is not about "less" government. The issue is about a government that functions for the plutocrats versus a government that functions for the people. Currently "law enforcement" serves to protect the plutocrats and "laws" are written for the benefit of the plutocrats. We shouldn't buy and adopt their labels. We need to promote our own.

I submit, that, taken to it's logical conclusion, progressive thought leads to even worse outcomes, e.g., Zimbabwe and North Korea.
