We are a nation that has a government–not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our Government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed. Ronald Reagan

I personally don’t need some arrogant, left-leaning, holier-than-thou individual using the force of the government to dictate how I should act. If I see someone who I believe needs and deserves my help and I have the ability to provide that help, I will do so. It is all about a single word: freedom.
