## Resource

America was built on the idea of limited government and personal freedom, but as the nation has expanded and taken on the role of the world's policeman, these founding ideals have eroded into something resembling the empires of previous eras. Matt Kibbe and Judge Andrew Napolitano discuss how the desire to engage in nation-building, to acquire colonies, and to have a military presence all over the world necessarily entails sacrificing the Constitution, sound money, and our national values. As the U.S. government grows more and more imperial, it becomes less and less American.
