Way to go TEXAS!

Hmmm....the Quebec separatists might want to look at this.


One thing that always struck me about the US of A is how the individual states had so much of an identity; they were almost like sovereign countries in their own right, as opposed to the provinces' role here in Canada.

EG, we have the Canada Health Act - and yet each province has its own Health Plan.

Yeah, it makes my head hurt...

This is not the same thing. The US Constitution defines a very limited scope of power to a Federal Government. The founders realized that a Federal Government was a necessary evil as the Articles of Confederation simply did not work. Our country did need some things to be controlled at a Federal level... Commerce (a central currency), defence, international relations... but the Constitution, again, grants a very limited amount of power to the Federal Government. The climax of which is the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. It basically says that any right not defined to the Federal Government is reserved to the States or the People.

So in a nutshell... Things like the Federal Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security... The obscene acts taken by Republican and Democratic administrations since about the 1920's... All plainly not Constitutional.

Just because the People vote a person to the Presidency does NOT make that person a despot, free from the limited rights granted them by the Constitution. You want that to change? Then amend the Constitution. But that is the problem... These people we are forced into electing could NEVER get their radical agendas past the amendment process...

So what Governor Perry is doing is simply reminding the Federal Government of the way things should be. I do not believe we are to the point of states seceding.... Yet. I pray we never do, because that will be a sad day indeed.

We are simply repeating history.... Rather than learning from it.

Hopefully if Gov Palin is at the Tea Party I can ask her in person to follow Texas' example.

I love Nora O'Donnel.....She's a newsreader on the tube.

She's cute and wouldn't mind looking at her teleprompter....

But, she may be dumb as a brick,

She was doing an interview with some pundit and commented on Texas wanting to 'succeed' from the Union.



I had to laugh and wonder why MSNBC and CNN missed the Tea Parties.

Now I know!
