Yes.
The 14th Amendment should be repealed and the nation restored to a loose federation of sovereign states as the Founders intended.

Yeah, that's not an expansion of federal powers.
If they created the requirement to go about in public armed with a firearm, that would be an expansion of personal power.


Sorting this then: personal power to go about armed with a firearm; expansion of federal powers to go about armed with a condom

An inconvenient historical event: the Founders ditched the Articles of Confederation and established the Constitution.

Second inconvenient historical event: the 14th Amendment was established after certain of the States rebelled for fear they would lose the right of some of its citizens to own other humans.

Your idealogy cost the nation 600,000 lives. States Rights lost that war but its adherents continue to bitch. Perhaps the news has not yet reached your state. Best invest in better telegraph lines.

Almost every GOP presidential candidate says they want "smaller government" and "less government intrusion" -

BUT -

You don't need to resort to absurd hypotheticals to point out the hypocrisy in the Republican small government rhetoric. For instance here's Jon Stewart easily calling Eric Cantor on it: http://www.indecisionforever.com/blog/2010/10/13/jon-stewarts-extended-interview-with-rep-eric-cantor

That is exactly the OPPOSITE of what the founders wanted. Read the writings of Jefferson, Hamilton and Madison.

How can you reconcile "smaller government" and "less government intrusion" with a federal ban on all forms of contraception, enforced by the local/state/federal police?
you can't.

canadian prime minister trudeau once said something on this sort of thing, something about the state having no place in the bedrooms of the nation. i think that basic stance is the only one consistent with the idea of a free people. who, what, and how consenting adults reach orgasm really is nobody's business but theirs, and that goes for what form of contraception they use as well.

When they say "small government" what they mean by this is "no taxes" and "no restrictions on guns" and "no welfare". They don't mean people's private lives should be free from government intervention. On a social issues, they fundamentally believe that government has the right to restrict people's rights.

The right wing has been on the attack on birth control and abortion since at least the 70s if not longer. This is not anything new. The real birth control battle will play out over who has to cover costs of birth control. The real reason the right wants to control access to birth control is to protect insurance companies from having to cover the costs of birth control. I am sure if you peel back the layers of this, the insurance companies are lobbying the right wing on birth control. This is not actually about the morality of preventing pregnancy. This is about money.

Anyone who cares about the right of women to continue to use birth control irrespective of whether they are married or not, should donate money to either the ACLU or Planned Parenthood. This battle will ultimately play itself out in the courts. Witness what has gone on with abortion. The right wing will continue to whittle away at reproductive rights until very little is left.

http://www.plannedparenthood.org/about-us/who-we-are/history-and-successes.htm

People vote Republican largely due to the belief that it keeps their taxes lower. They forget that comes at the cost of losing personal freedoms. People have to be willing to put their money where their mouths are. If you support the concept of personal freedom then support liberal policies and liberal politicians and stop voting as if reducing taxes is the only thing that matters.

A civilized society with a strong stable government does not come cheap. You want a place where no one pays tax. Move to Greece.

as much as it pains me to admit it, i can't dispute that statement, nor most of your post.

however, there are some of us who really do believe in the benefits of smaller government and trying to live within our means, and no, we all wouldn't make cuts to social welfare programs first.

Go right ahead, you wont gain any sympathy that way.

Hey Tazzy how could you forget about me,I take a lot of shit around here too(most of it shoveled by you as you make fun of my feeble attempts to flirt with Lucy).
If anyone has a right to a pity party it is poor me....but as I asserted in another thread it seems you hate little old me,for reasons that escape me completely

Why would he be the one to consider moving,seems things are going along as he likes....and that,things being what they are,you are dissatisfied.
Perhaps it's time to tape some boxes together eh? The 14th amendment is in no danger of being repealed,so why are you staying ?

The establishment clause did not apply to the States.
