The statement which summarizes the publication’s view of government is, “We need government because people are flawed”.

Further Explanation:

A “small government” doesn’t mean that the administration is weak. It means that the administration should frame a narrow set of concerns and responsibilities; that is protecting the country from “foreign threats”, ensuring easy and smooth trade, and most importantly, ensuring that protecting Americans' constitutional rights of the citizens.

Increasing the role of administration beyond the responsibilities is what “conservatives” see it as a threat, as a ‘central government’  that need not concern itself with the localities that it represents, tends to accumulate more ‘power’ to itself.  

Ever since the “Articles of Confederation” were disclaimed, States were not meant to be completely “autonomous bodies”. The Civil War proved that quite conclusively. But they weren’t meant to be regional agencies completely dependent on ‘Federal funding’, either.

"<em>We need government so we have a means to control our leaders."  </em>isn't correct. He doesn't even mention leaders.

"We don’t need government because people are well behaved."  and "We don’t need government because it has too many checks and balances." are wrong for the same reason that the next sentence to be presented here is right.

He says:  <em>"If men were angels, no government would be necessary"</em>. But men are not angels, men are men. That's how he justifies his view on the subject:

We need government because people are flawed.

Daniel [21]
