One of the very conservative columnists I frequently like, Dennie Prager, has sounded the battle alarm over Obamacare as a major event. Agree or disagree, it’s well-framed.
One of his points: “Our motto: ‘The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.'” Yes, that’s probably true. But in a regime that flirts with strict “separation of Church and State,” the Church (and other mediating structures that empower people – this is the best link I can find on that on the fly) are diminished, too. And I’m not sure that individual citizens can ever be “big” without human-scale institutions – i.e., something smaller than government.
