Now, considering states rights. Judging by how the federal government has trampled all over states rights for decades, i’mma thinkin the south may have had a legit quarrel.

States don't have rights. People have rights. Governments, State or Fed, have only powers delegated by the people.

Wow! Do you really think this is a government for and by the people?

If you do...well, surprise!

Money runs this country, people with a lust for power run this country, Corporate elites dictate policy.

There isn’t a plug nickels difference between the two parties at this point in time.

Sorry to break this to ya, but we live in an oligarchy not a representative republic any longer.
