And yes, the government is big enough to....

If a government is big enough to control health care, it's big enough to prohibit gun ownership.

If a government is big enough to prohibit gun ownership, it's big enough to control marriage.

If a government is powerful enough to outlaw gay and lesbian marriage, it's probably big enough to print worthless money to pay off its debts.

If a government is arrogant enough to flood the market with devalued currency, it probably won't hesitate to involve us in expensive foreign wars.

If a government is big enough to get into overseas adventures, it's probably big enough to staff military bases in 46 other countries.

If a government has 750 military bases overseas, it's probably irresponsible enough to burden its citizens with Eleven Trillion Dollars in debt.

If a government overreaches enough to burden each taxpayer with $40,000 in debt, it's big enough to protect its Federal Reserve system from an audit.

If a government is powerful enough to shelter its reserve banks, it's powerful enough to bail out favored industries and Troubled Assets.

If a government is arrogant enough to bail out campaign supporters with your money, that government won't hesitate to proscribe what substances you can and can't consume, ingest, or inhale.

If a government overreaches enough to outlaw recreational drug use, it won't hesitate to define how your children can be educated.

If a government is large enough to ban home schooling, it's big enough to set quotas and taxes on all commodities that enter its borders.

If a government is big enough to protect favored industries by putting ridiculous tariffs on imports, that same government is big enough to control your healthcare decisions.

United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

They're counting on continued division.
