States’ Rights: Restoring the balance of power

December 29th, 2010 | 38 Comments

As many of you know I’m a huge proponent of “States’ Rights.” I have always believed that the solutions to our problems can be found at the local not the federal level of government. In fact most of our current problems can be traced back to some sort of federal regulation, policy, or law that has been implemented to make things “better” for the masses. This interference has led to the over regulation of the free market system; a free market system that can no longer correct course during its natural downturns because it’s so weighted down by bureaucratic red tape. So the government resolves itself to find more solutions to the flawed solutions they have already implemented resulting in more problems for the republic and for the States.

Buckley, all of that sort of intellectual conservatism that lasted about 30 years, and people are saying that right now, it’s … Read entire article »

A New Strategy Against the Healthcare Bill: States’ Rights

February 22nd, 2010 | 6 Comments

It has become painfully clear in these last few weeks that the President and his allies in the Senate and House plan to press forward with this terrible healthcare bill. Not only have they committed themselves to a full court press in getting this nightmare rammed through congress, but the President himself is actually crafting/merging the two bills to present to Congress for a vote. He and his party have chosen to ignore the voice of the people after a clear message was sent by the constituents during the New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts elections. Just last week a Zogby international poll showed that 57 percent of Americans do not like either of the competing healthcare bills created by the House and Senate and want the Congress to scrap both and start over. These are pretty telling numbers. And yet still the President tells … Read entire article »
