The Forgotten Amedment
The Southern Pundit ^ | 2-7-2006 | self

I would be willing to bet that if I went onto the street and asked ten random people what the 10th Amendment to the Constitution said, that none of them would know it.

Yet, in truth, the 10th Amendment represents one of the most important defining aspects of our government. Unfortunately, it is also the Amendment that our government most frequently ignores.

Another one of those pesky Amendments that the Dems redact from their little pocket Constitution that they always wave around.

Some RINO's use the same publisher

Well, it is pretty old, and very vague/liberal, in it's interpretation.

Sorry. It's been a frustrating morning and I'm in a ranting mood. I shouldn't have bit your head off like that.

How would returning to the ideas of the Founding Fathers infuriate conservatives and liberals? I am for everyone of those 10 items. The only people getting mad would be career politicians, bureacrats, and lefties.

The 'conservatives' that wouldn't like these ideas are mostly RINOs. I suppose I did them too much credit by describing them that way. Still, it seems like the republican administration, for all the good it has done and thank God for it, has not reduced the size of government. It seems like nobody is interested in that concept anymore, FReepers excepted of course.

Good article, too bad the article has a gray background, so my eyes quit about half way.
