Isn't it an item of faith among conservatives that government is never to be trusted? Only when the Dems are in power. It's not even ideology.

Isn't it an item of faith among conservatives that government is never to be trusted? H.L. Menckin once said, "when visited by a Politician, hide your daughters and count the silverware." Our Government is the most transparent of any I know. I would trust it over any international body I can think of. Civil Servants think their first job is to lie to the public. That is why you have to "throw the rascals out" every so often. I think the Hawaii Government is the most corrupt I have run into. Why? One party has controlled for 40 years. The worst recent example of an NGO lying was this report: "The U.S.-led war on terror has made the world a more dangerous and repressive place, Amnesty International said Wednesday" sfgate.com
