Limited government and the problem of Progressivism.

George F. Will has an outstanding column today about the fundamental incompatibility between the constitutional vision for limited government and the contrasting view of The Progressives (Wilsonians). (Read the article by clicking here.)

I am fascinated with this conflict inherent in our modern politics. The RestoreFederalism website is my attempt to focus attention on a specific, emblematic issue at the core of this debate. Three years ago, very few people were talking about it. Today, articles on the subject are written every week.

Now that's progress.
