Tenth Amendment to the

This, in my opinion is where our focus should be. Throughout our country's great history, we have slowly given many of those rights rightfully reserved to the States respectively to our Federal Government.
Using the current debate as an example, if a state decides to have universal health coverage, so be it. If they can make it work, good for them. I do not believe it can work and I believe that any state that attempted it would become bankrupt (can anyone say CALIFORNIA?) quickly. Nonetheless, it should be a state's choice...it is the State's right!
Our fifty United States need to take their rights back. Individually, as their citizens, through their legislators decide.

    I totally agree. Most americans may not realize it but we've been heading for a socialist country for many years now. I don't want the government to decide for me if my father is worth heart surgery at the age of 70, or if my mother is worth knee surgery at the age of 69, and if not let them die or live in agony. we are only a few steps away from allowing assisted suicide if this happens. Another point I like to make is I am tired of paying for illegals to have more rights and help from our government than what we as americans can receive. I recently tried to sign up for assistance, the first question about race is not what you are, it is whether your hispanic or not. what does that tell you. I should change my name to rodriguez, it would be more simple to get help.

I'm finally out of the Army and can now fully speak my mind about how I feel about the direction our country is going. Tonight on Hannity , I caught former Marine Corporal David Hedrick as he explained his views on universal health care and located his appearance at a town hall meeting on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/HedrickDavid . What he says, in a nutshell is what I have been saying for quite some time, look at 1936-37 Germany for a history lesson! The problem with Hitler and WWII is that whenever someone hears the word "Nazi", they immediately think of the Holocaust and concentration camps. These are valid thoughts and atrocities that should never be forgotten. However, what everyone seems to forget is that NAZI is actually an acronym for National Socialist Worker's Party . This is what is meant when comparing the direction our Nation is moving to the Nazis of Germany. Not the Nazis of WWII, rather the Nazis as they led their country into the war. WWI wa

Oil vs. Immigration

Which direction does our President want to go? He is adamant that he wants comprehensive immigration reform, then secure our borders. Yet he wants to stop the oil flow, and then focus on clean-up. Do you see the parallel? It appears that there is a lack of consistency within our President's management philosophy. The cliche, first, stop the bleeding has been used often to describe the situation with our southern border. Yet our leadership refuses to devote anything other than a token amount of National Guard Soldiers to the problem, insisting that we need immigration reform first. Yet sensibly, he is focusing on stopping the oil flow before we begin the clean up. A lot of effort is being placed on mitigating the impact on the oil that has escaped thus far, which again is sensible. Why not take the same tact with our border issues? I have no idea how to stop the oil. I feel for the people along our coastlines that will be so terribly impacted by this tragedy...however, have no dou
