Bullshit. I have no problem with the results in the CA election. What I have a problem with is people who want the federal government being involved in local issues.

Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

So she's into the 'our country' thing but doesn't agree with our founding fathers that these things should be handled at the local level. She wants it to be dictated from on high by a central government? Sounds like a typical liberal to me. :)

Please! You're not stupid. And it's near impossible to believe that you so ignorant about what hase been going on for at least 50 years that you simply can't see the falsity of what you've said. There is only one other option to explain why you'd say this false thing.

I am too cynical to believe that she and her group are in the capitol and will not be lobbying congress. Are you willing to take odds that it wont happen?

Yeah, and then they talk about leaving the union because uncle sugar has gone too far.

You mean the federal government becoming more and more involved with the daily lives of it's citizens? Or, do you mean the republican and democratic party abandoning all sense of the rule of law? Or, do you mean bills being passed in congress and signed by the president that are the equivalent of a Rube Goldberg machine in writing? Or, do you mean the complete loss of level headiness by the electorate as the country seems like it is on a course to continually swing from one extreme of leadership to the other and people outsource their thinking to talking heads on radio and TV? Or, is it the complete lack of long term thinking in this country that you are referring to? Because there has been a lot of bs happening during my lifetime and I really want nothing to do with it.

HAHA... Texas and their football mythology. The entire state is still feeling insecure that if you count all of the national championships from all of the football teams they still don't come close to po dunk Oklahoma and Nebraska.

Were you equally upset when the federal government destroyed states rights on issues such as abortion, sodomy and flag burning?
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Slavery was ended by amending the constitution, which is entirely appropriate. But you are correct to point out that I omitted miscegenation.

Of course. I am not being selective about issues here. In fact, I don't even think the government should be involved in the definition of a marriage since it is traditionally a religious institution. But I think the results should stand. Heck, even with something like health care I prefer to see it decided by the states.
