The meanings of limited government

This post at the anabaptist blog Levellers does a good job encapsulating where I tend to differ from contemporary American conservatism. I had wanted to write a post for a while about the different meanings given to “limited government” by people whose primary concerns are, say, concentrated executive power versus those who are most worried about high taxes and regulation, but now I don’t have to. The post promises to be the first in a series.
