Hitler is now campaigning for jewish rights?

Same thing really. Bush went even more over state rights than Clinton, and Obama is doing even worse.

It's been going down that road since that piece of garbage Lincoln.

Time to rectify that.

Good for them. I'm glad one of the two major parties is at least willing to talk about states' rights. That said, given their track record over the last decade, I'll believe that they're sincere when I see it.

Pretty much, yes. I just don't understand how they can possibly expect anyone to take them seriously with this. They are part of the problem, but we are supposed to believe they've turned a new leaf all of a sudden and want to start putting the states back in control of the things they were supposed to have control of all along?

According to the article, Rep. Rob Bishop of Utah acknowledged that the size of the federal government has grown under both the Republicans and the Democrats. His acknowledgment is too little, too late if you ask me.

A couple of the reps involved in this have pretty good voting records in congress & likely will be re-elected by their states. I can't speak for the rest.

I just wonder if this is related to that TRAP nonsense that everyone was so worked up about a few weeks ago? Like vor78 said, their veracity is in actions, not words.

Thanks for the link. I vaguely remember glancing at that thread, but it didn't come immediately to mind when trying to figure out what TARP might stand for.

The civil war was not about slavery.It was about the north getting rich and fat off the labor and misery of the south.Only 5% of the south owned slaves(maybe even less if i got my statistics wrong).So dont blame the south blame lincoln...he was a tyrant.

Pure BS, Slavery was at the heart of it. The civil war was about southern planation society escaping from the mountain of debt they had built up which they owed to notherners. The average southerner didn't own a slave no but every single member of the Confederate Constitutional Convention did, as did every single member of the Confederate Congress, Cabinet and Presidency/Vice Presidency.

Many black people dont even know that lincoln did not care about them and was as racist as they make the Confederacy out to be.

By the end of his first term Lincoln wanted all black men to be able to vote and hold office.

He only declared the emancipation proclamation two years after the war started.In fact its been documented that many divisons went home and declared they would not fight...because they were not fighting for black slaves...they were fighting to keep the union together.

No single Division went home. Some men deserted some men choose not to reenlist.

The states had a constitutional right to seperate from the union under the 10thn ammendment.The north was tyrannical and taxed the south to death....something the founders STARTED the country from.

Wrong the 10th Amendment says that the undefined powers of the constitution went to the states however the secession was barred under the Artices of Confederation which still remain in force when referring to matters not taken up in the Constitution of 1787.

The founders would have sided with the south.

Some would have some wouldn't have. Jefferson would've sided with the south as would Madison but Washington, Hamilton, Franklin and Adams would've been pro-union.

So dont blame the south....blame the north and lincoln.

always remember HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THE VICTORS.
