What you seem to have no problem with is the abandonment of rule of law (our Constitution) for democracy (mob rule). If you doubt that then just look around at all the unconstitutional laws a regulations that have been imposed on this nation for the latest "cause celeb". Franklin said "A republic ma'am if you can keep it", obliviously with thinking like yours we can't.
Got it...
BTW, for the sane, the only power the federal government has is that which we give it. That it is abused does not negate those roles the federal government does well in the modern age.
That is why the Foundering Fathers the Paulitards always talk about were fortunately much smarter than Paul or his many minions themselves. They designed a system of government that could react to the many changes in technology and culture that would follow in the next centuries.
Understanding this, and how the benefits of properly managed relationship between federal, state and local governments in an age where people interact and use goods and services from a much broader geographic world is the difference between sane conservatism and the nuttier libertarian/anarchist mentality. The desire to have an excess of such, or to have regulations over personal choice defines the difference between Conservatives and Liberals.
Really would a sane conservative say that reasonable interstate transportation standards are a bad thing, that reasonable FAA standards are a bad thing? Of course not. This is why was Reagan a Conservative, not a libertarian, because he was reasoned.
Think of this do you want a Aircraft managed under the regulations of Mississippi flying over your town? (I am in Mississippi, trust me, you don't).
There is a difference, a line between common sense good policy and being a full blown statist. Paulitatrds cannot see nuance or understand beyond their black and white simple Ron Paul infused world.
