Interesting. So if one does not bend over to accept anything that someone with the right letter has by their name they're not 'patriotic'? Sounds more like we're not partisan.
For all of thier posturings,not a one of them, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM ,would really be " happy ", if they actually did get exactly what they post about
Try me. I would be dancing in the streets tomorrow morning if the national government decided to return to the level it was intended to be. Any conservative worth their salt would be. I know there would be hardships, but I also realize there would be more money in my pocket to deal with said hardships. And I also realize the freedoms returned back not only to the citizens of the respective states, but the states themselves, would more than offset any hardships we would face from not having to bow to Washington DC every April 15 and any time another federal 'edict' were released
Let's just pretend ( because that's all you do anyway ! ), for a moment, that you got exactly what you think you want. Let's pretend that there are NO Federal laws, now extant, which the PURE FOOD and DRUG BILL/s have enforced for almost 100 years, absolutely NO SS,no welfare,no schools ( except private/religious ones )and no illegal substances. You wake up tomorrow and all of those things are in place; no warnings, no announcements,it's just so.
It takes a bit for all of this brave new world to sink in.The states are not only in a stated of shock, but are fiscally and mentally unprepared for it.
If you don't think that chaos would ensue, you are dead wrong. More money in your pocket ? Not for long, since states and towns/cities/villages would start raising taxes like NEVER before! And that's just for starters.You and I have no idea what each state could come up with, regarding all kinds of crazy stuff, but I can guess.
We'll have to reinstate poor houses (your taxes will rise), each state/local area will have to find more money for schools and colleges (your taxes rise), they'll need more jails (your taxes will rise),and I've not even talked about that'll happen when there's tainted/messed with food,more dopers on the streets, and the like...yet.
The LP and the CP both are against the WoT, our being in Iraq, and aren't any better for the USA safety, than having whoever the GREENIES are putting up or any of the 9 dwarves.
This isn't even the tip of the iceberg, it's a flake.
Each state could and most probably would decide things like homosexual marriage,which the Federal government would have NO say about. Don't like what your state's done? Move, you say Most people can't just pack up and leave,but even if everyone did that,then states would then be faced with inadequate housing, schools problems ( not enough/too many ), massive amounts of people without jobs/massive amounts of jobs and not enough people, and on and on and on.
You NEVER think of the consequences; no, you just want what you think you want and damn all else. That's childish !
