States Rights



It does my good old boy soul wonders for the Left in this country to discover the ninth and tenth Amendments even if what they want doesn't flic my bic. Of course it took them having some skin in the game to get their support.

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." - Karl Popper

“It’s the presumption that Obama knows how all these industries ought to be operating better than people who have spent their lives in those industries, and a general cockiness going back to before he was president, and the fact that he has no experience whatever in managing anything.
