The latest trendy attack on anyone who can think for themselves is to label them “anti-government.” This derogatory slur, strewn around by the same people who once used the term “conspiracy theorist” to try to demean investigative journalists, is the domain of the intellectually lazy who are, themselves, ignorant of the origins, structure and history of government.
Over two centuries ago, people like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were not merely called “anti-government” by the British; they were called traitors and treasonous criminals. And yet Jefferson and Washington were clearly pro-government because they were instrumental in establishing an entirely new government — one based on respecting individual liberties and rights, where citizens held power over a government which existed solely to serve the interests of the citizens (and protect their rights).
Jefferson and Washington never could have imagined a day when a person exercising free speech — the First Amendment — would be denigrated as “anti-government” for criticizing the operations or policies of the current administration running the government. Criticism of government is not “anti-government.” It is, in fact, the patriotic duty of every American citizen — to keep government honest, to call for improvement in its operation and to eliminate it where it produces only waste instead of results.
Government is now dominated by corporate interests that often betray the People
