Yes, the founders were sooo trusting of government that they put within its grasp the power to expand upon itself.
RB, you and the other neo-Confederates on Free Republic are re-hashing Confederate arguments becuase you don't have the guts to state what you really want -- the destruction of the United States of America.
Awfully sporty to say something like that with nothing to support it except your undying worship of something that we view as a necessary evil. You have been repeatedly told that none of us are neo-confederates and your continued use of that term, along with your willingness to label us traitors to our country because we don't toe the republican line when it diverts from conservative self-government make me wonder about both your command of the English language and your ability to reason.
Maybe you should think twice before shooting off your mouth.
How do you differentiate between powers delegated to the states and powers delegated to the states, to use your phrasing of the alternatives? The federal government must be omnipotent if it is able to do this.
And you and the other cut and paste cheap shot artists call yourselves freedom loving Americans. I'm sick and tired of you calling the South a bunch of treasonous villains. What if the million mom march gets its way and the next Bill Clinton persuades congress to confiscate all weapons. I guess you'll just stand by and let it happen because you wouldn't want to be labeled a "traitor". Sheesh, you guys are way out there.
you get the PINK POPCICLE AWARD for the most foolish post of the day.
but then, that's what fools do.
