So, I finally get what Raegen was saying...
In his inaugural adress, Ronald Ragen made the statement "Government is the answer to your problems, Government is the problem."
Well here's the rub, the American Government is a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. So in my opinion, Ronald Raegen was saying that the American people were the problem.
This also explains why social conservitives align with the party of "small government". Nothing offends a social conservitive more than a diverse, expressive, multi-cultural society. It upsets the social order they crave so much.
Also, if there's still any doubt among any of my friends that the Republican party doesn't use racial and wedge issue politics to win elections, I present to you an excript from Boogey Man: The Story of Lee Atwater.

Lee Atwater was a political operative for every republican president from Nixon to Bush Sr.
The stratagy was simple, stroke the ego of non-affluant southern, rural white voters with racial and regional resentment amd fear.
