He’s right on about our tendency to Nationalize every single issue.

It’s at the heart of our problems, a one size fits all solution to every problem we have.

Let communities and states try their own thing out. The laboratories of democracy.

The fed should have such little power compared to what they have now.

Yet Mr. Constitution misses that one of they key platforms of Social Conservatives, abortion, is a national issue per the US Constitution- No one can be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. (paraphrased). The right to one's own existence is a fundamental platform that can't be abridged. Without that, no other rights exist. To say that is something that can be legislated away by lesser governments, ie the States, is a slap in the face of original intent.

What then?

“He’s right on about our tendency to Nationalize every single issue.”

I couldn’t agree more, and it is both Rs and Ds that are guilty. States rights used to be a core conservative belief. No child left behind still ring a bell?

We need states serving as laboratories of innovation and competition and not the national bureaucracies run by political hacks owned by crony corporatists wanting a cut of taxpayer money.
