The States have more rights and political power under the Constitution

Which was overthrown in the great war of northern aggression

[Republic If You Can Keep It]

The only hope (and it's a slim one) of ever getting back to the Constitutionally-limited federal government that the founders envisioned is through the USSC. If we can ever get 5 true conservatives on the Court, we can then begin the long & difficult task of restoring the 10th Amendment.

For starters: Overturn Roe v. Wade & declare the Departments of Education, Energy, & Commerce all unconstitutional.

The 10th Amendment restricts the federal government from taking dictatorial control over the States and the people.

Yea right! The 14th Amendment pretty well screwed the 10th. Guess that was a result of the Republicans and their great war of northern aggression.

Agreed.

Our COuntry was born in the mid 1700's.

The Constitution was shreadded in the mid 1860's. Approximately 100 years since the birth of the Country.

Fifty years later, around the turn of the century, the concept of "Modern" and "Mechanized Industrial" movement took hold. The belief of a strong central government directing all. So what do they do? They taxed us.

Twenty five years later, the era of big government issues in with FDR.

Fourteen years after that... War on Poverty.

Seven years after that...Massive deconstruction of State Powers and upsurption of tenth Amendment controls.

Three Years after that...Nixon.

One and a half years later...Carter.


Explosion!.


Ronald Regan pulls us out of the mess. All is moving fine. Then Clinton gets elected by the divide and conquer method with Ross Periot.


The destruction of our Constitution has followed a normal exponentional progression.
