We are going to need an acute dosage of federalism to even begin ridding ourselves of the disease destroying the body of our once-great federation.

The role of our American government has been blurred, bent, and breached. The rights endowed to us by our creator must be restored.

Obamacare: Another Assault on Federalism

19. Oct, 2009 345816 Comments2009-10-19+16%3A21%3A38Tenth+Amendment

The astute constitutional student will recognize that there is no authority whatsoever under Article 1 Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution (the part of the Constitution which outlines the powers of the federal government) to create or administer a health care system.

06. Oct, 2009 332727 Comments2009-10-06+10%3A27%3A45Tenth+Amendment

There is all this talk of the “Nation’s” health care system; however, I fail to find where health care is a “national” object. There is nothing whatsoever in the Constitution suggesting it is among the certain enumerated objects of the “Federal” government

State Sovereignty: A Revolutionary Movement

30. Sep, 2009 324924 Comments2009-09-30+07%3A57%3A30Tenth+Amendment

A States’ Rights movement is in essence a revolution, an opposition to the urgency of political power to limit choice and compel adjustment to its will and must rest its case on this fact. It is a certainty that any attempt to cut down the power of the central government is a fatuous gesture unless there is some feeling for freedom in the country.

The battles in America have almost gone unchanged since 1936 — and even, before. They are battles for the mind, the soul and the heart. They are battles of philosophy and understanding.
