your first 3 examples are directly state issues. Property rights, a local issue in the case of Kelo. Of course I disagree.

Gun rights, each state has it’s own laws related to CCW, although the fed.gov is the ultimate authority on the 2nd Amendment and has exerted some overbearing authority, but not to the point of restrictive measures such as in DC or Chicago. Local issues once again.

Religion. Where are you repressed in religious beliefs? Once again, each state has individual laws regarding abortion, but the ultimate federal authority is only to monitor that NO public funds are used. States still have to adhere to the public funds issue.

Obama care, definitely an overreach of federal authority and the courts will work it out. 16 individual states are asserting authority over personal health care decisions. States have the sovereignty rule on their side. Once again, states are in control of the ultimate responsibility to reign in a rogue congress.

Which militia is now Obama’s? Last I counted, there is over 160 militias chartered in the US, and many more informal groups. I don’t see AG Holder directing their traffic.

We are on the same side here dude. The situation just needs some forceful persuasion from the states to reassert their authority.

I agree that we are on the same side. My examples are all areas where Washington ( Congress, POTUS and/or SCOTUS)have told the states that the FEDs have the final say-so; not the states.

One of the lesser items in the DeathCare bill is that 0bambi can call out state militias in time of an emergency - even if the Governor objects! The DeathCare bill will provide for taxpayer funded abortions, EO notwithstanding. That infringes on my freedom of religion.

Good post; no name-calling.
