“. . .tell me about our States Rights today?
Tell me how agriculture department rules controlling the price of milk fit into the Constitution.
Tell me where foreign aid fits into the Constitution.
Tell me where the Federal Education Department fits into the Constitution.
Tell me why the Federal Government can tell a farmer how much wheat he can grow?
Tell me how the City of Chicago can outlaw handgun ownership?

We don’t follow the Constitution. We use the parts that are convenient to us. We ignore those parts that are inconvenient.


Please tell me where I’m wrong.

So you have the Paulestinian list of Constitutional grievances committed to memory, yet you believe we’re better off and more prosperous for having ignored it.

Sell crazy someplace else. This game is tiresome.

So are you saying that “what is, is what ought to be”?

That Hegelian political philosophy caused no end of trouble in the 20th and early 21st cenuries.
