The concept of limited government is nonsensical. What you want is active government, one which is actively working for the good of it's citizens, and which is as directly subject to the will of it's citizens as is possible.
Limited government (in many respects) is absolutely what we want and need. There is absolutely a role for active government. But when the government is withholding a building permit for modification to a house because the first 6 feet of the land is gravel instead of grass because the previous owners used the area of the house as a carport for their boat and drove over that gravel and the portion of the house is being turned into an office, that's ridiculous government bureaucracy.
