Because you love Big Central.

That's funny, the only time I've ever really seen tpaine "love" big centralized government was when it was protecting our Rights as ennumerated in the BoR from intrusion at any level. I've never seen him support Federal control over local schools for instance. Or highway and local road construction. Or national requirements for speed limits. Or the Drug War. and the list goes on.

Why do you Nanny Staters have such a hard on for taking away peoples freedom? Do you really believe that there should be no common set of "freedoms" and "Rights" that ALL US Citizens should enjoy?

Socialists have control of both major parties, the federal, and the state governments.
They appoint the judges. They write the unconstitutional laws.
Yet you sit here and howl that the 14th amendment is the cause of all our troubles. -- Get real.
-- The only problem with the constitution, [barring the 16th] is the fools you elected, that ignore it.
Two bits you would ignore it yourself. Do you stand with texasforever, and support californias 'right' to prohibit arms?

LMAO Tpaine just had another brain fart. I support the rights of the people of any state to elect to their own state representatives that reflect the views of those that bother to get off their lazy butts and vote.

As I said, the citizens of California elected gun grabbers and yhey grabbed your guns. Tough Sh!t Tpaine. If you think I have sympathy with you over that think again.

One thing that we should keep in mind, is the fact that simply because of the 14th, and its evil spawn - the 17th, people don't give a damn who they send to their state legislatures any more, because they have no real power. Any clown/Condit will do. So you get asinine state laws like that infringe on the right to bear arms.

Along this line, though Tpaine, if a state voted to establish a religion, or even ban free speech, say before an election, I would support it, because only Congress can violate the first amendment.

Only Congress is restrained by it. At some point you just have to trust a state not to do stupid things like limit free speech.
