Read the 10th Ammendment here: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charter… Isn't the point that if the states can do something then there is no need to have the federal government do it? Doesn't that just make sense anyhow? Liberals.. wouldnt you prefer to live in a state where abortion was legal, rather than have the right remove it completely from the country? Decide the issue at the state level. Education is a great example... why take the risk of allowing a FEDERAL mandate that is screwed up, mess up EVERY states education? Rather.. let parents and teachers and administrators decide locally, not even at the state level... they ARE capable of doing it. Insurance.. Each individual is capable of purchasing their own health insurance. Each State is 100% able to take care of any and all legislation regarding ANY health care issues. I can see NO, ZERO, ZIP reason for someone in Washington having ANY say about what my state does with the issue. Let americans have 50 choices of where they want to live, rather than 1. Arent you liberals pro-choice? my god you use that word so much but you want to force a plan on everyone for something each human being must, i repeat MUST take responsilibity for. What about the poor, and the helpless who fall through the cracks? Thats what family, and church and non-profits and Friends are for. Not George Bush (or Obama if you hate him)... Please.. can't we all agree... keep washington out of things we are perfectly capable of taking care of? We are becoming TOO dependent on the fed. Is there ONE liberal here who raises their kids to stay dependent on them their whole lives? That is not freedom. I seriously do not think that liberals and democrats really understand the word freedom. Freedom cannot have an enforced safety net. It cannot have a gun pointed at the responsible citizens FORCING them to care for the others... Is that freedom... that is what you liberals are doing.. you are pointing you magnum 60 (votes) at the other 40% and pulling the trigger. Its not bi-partisan.. its not american.. its absolute insanity.... YOu SAY you want to help people.. but instead.. yhou never.. EVER learned about the difference between giving a man a fish, and teaching him to .. you know.. stand up on his/her own two feet and FISH. Will my conservative, FREEDOM loving friends please call your politicians... pick a quote from this article... choose to be free... tell them to take a hike with their HUGE GOVERNMENT solutions...which have never solved ANYTHING.. and CUT OUR TAXES by 50% One last rant... how long do you work to pay all your taxes... probably may 1st.. that is not freedom.. THAT is slavery
