If centralized power is so good then why worry if someone like Santorum gets elected.


Idiots.

One way to look at it: if there were no states then Santorum would have won zero states this primary season instead of the four or five he's won so far

Who really benefits from an arrangement where autonomous states are in direct or indirect competition with each other? The states need to exist to support bureaucracies, but as individual legal and economic regions, the entire idea is counterproductive and outdated.



Sweet mother of god I can't wait until someone expresses this thought at the national level!

OTOH, what is your 'Federal' government but a group of elected reps from your states?


Are they so whacko they cannot understand the various demographic and goegraphic and economic variances within your vast country.

Perhaps the answer is LESS Fed and MORE state - hmmmm?

It may just be time to refresh that tree of liberty

Meaning? I am not a state's right guy.



He wants you to join him in a blood-soaked rampage against people he doesn't like because he thinks that will further the aims of freedom.
