I'm disgusted by the amount of conservatives who think its a great idea to let states do whatever they want.

No government can EVER infringe on any of our rights, because those rights are given by any Constitution they are given with birth. Even if a state had no first amendment the government has no right to ban free speech because it is my right, no matter what any government ever says. Plus the 9th and 14th amendments are clear that the rights in the bill of rights must be respected by the states, and enumerated rights are not the only rights you have.

Individual rights > states rights > federal rights, in that order.

Some of the Christian demonetization's are truly the American Taliban

There are fanatics on both sides of this issue.

Did you know Clinton tried to get an executive order through that would have reversed the order? He tried to state the fed. power came first and they determined what could be delegated down the line.

Talk radio was able to stop this by pointing out to the Governors of the states that this would remove all of their power so they got together and got this one stopped.(EO347443 or something like that)
