The states and the people have given their power and freedom to the feds and the feds won't give them back. A Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater is an excellent read to get an idea of libertarian ideas. Good luck finding the book. I have a copy in my limited library.
The constitution is what this country was founded on, and its ideals are part and parcel of what built the US into the greatest country in the world. The constitution is not obsolete, It has just been ignored, and trampled on over the last 16 years.

This is what has brought the US to its knees, along with the simple facts;
no one company is too big to fail
you can't live beyond your means
if you can't pay cash you can't afford it
simple corporate greed

Then there organizations whos entire purpose in life is to create discord in the "minority" populations.

THe education system is broken (no child left behind act broke it)
The medicare system is broken
The welfare system is broken
The borders are wide open...

and on and on

the current batch of politicians are doing nothing but making it worse..

I could write a book on my opinions, and my solutions, but nobody would pay attention because it would make too much sense.

I figure that politicians should serve 2 terms.... the first elected, the second in jail.
Mississippi Steve Reviewed by Mississippi Steve on . Politically speaking....where R U? It struck me that the Stoner community, in general, may be in a different place than it used to be. So I thought I would ask the question...where R U, politically speaking: Far Right Center Right Center Center Left Far Left and if you want to add a comment or two defending your position, go ahead.:thumbsup: Rating: 5
