Your points/assertions are very odd. Was the national guard at kent state? is the national guard the fed, or something else. The FBI has no right to pursue interstate crime? Are there federal tasks forces to fight gangs and organized crime? Does the Fed (in part) run the public school system? Could they stop a suspected perp on a road somewhere? I mean I could write 5000 words here providing examples of what the Fed does. So your statement that the Fed has no right, etc. is foolish and untrue. If you are trying to say they shouldn't have some of the 'rights' they do, I do not disagree.
If you want the libertarian point of view, which seems to be what you are trying to get at, the Fed is there to do only what we as individuals/groups cannot, ie military, road system, infrastructure, taxes, etc. On this I agree, I am a proponent of small government which stays out of my life, and of course the Fed oversteps their bounds sometimes. This is why we vote every 2/4 years.

Federal land - would you privatize los alamos, all military bases, state and federal parks? I believe the fed has a role here subject to limits which I stated above. I will not apologize as there is no reason to, I will say I respect your opinions, to me they seem a bit simplistic (sorry, I am sure you are tired of that by now, but it is the best way to put it.)
