To say that our country was founded on states rights over federal rights is well…a lie.

the laws of the country havent changed. Perception has changed. People believe that the president has more power than he really has because the media perceives that to be true.

We did not get civil rights because Iowa decided that blacks were equal. We got civil rights because of Pres. Johnson and the congress getting together to pass legislation.

Local politics are just that, Local. Political parties dont matter as much at the local level. We tend to look at the body of work rather than political ideals. Local Politics do not change the national stage. unfortunetly the national stage is changing local politics.

One of the greatest hypocracies in all of politics is that of abortion. and it goes both ways on this one. Liberals are pro choice and anit death penalty. where as conservatives are pro life and pro death penalty.

i just started rambling. sorry

Not just the ones you agree with.

Davidson Thu, 11 Mar 2010 15:13:20 +0000 http://www.mountvernonnews.com/blog/?p=899#comment-1714 This country was structured to be governed from local, to state, federal. That way it ensured people retained power. Slowly, this trend has been reversed and now we find we are being dictated to from the secret caverns.

In a notice from the White House regarding health care, I notice in the contact section, there are three classification to respond under: For it, against it and supporting the president. I already know where each catagory goes before sending in a response. A government agency waits for me to make a mistake and I will pay the price for speaking out. It is how things are in our society today.It is why people who do speak our generally do so anonymously.
