A nation that expects the government to prevent churches from burning, to control the price of bread or gasoline, to secure every job, and to find some villain for every dramatic accident, risks an even larger loss of life and liberty.

This is a self-referential sentence invoked by the author as a gimmicky spinoff of the self referential posting. This sentence adds suspense by alluding to a climactic revelation occurring in the subsequent sentence. This sentence disappoints the reader and mundanely concludes the paragraph.
