Now we have a government that wants to baby-sit us and make all of our decisions for us. I guess some people need that--mainly the people who voted to put these charlatans in office. It’s high time that those people learned to stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves. We cannot afford, nor do we want, to be their babysitters any longer.

The whole purpose of the Constitution is to define the federal government and to establish a separation of powers between federal authority and the states. That is why the enumerated powers specified in Article 1, Section 8 were then reinforced with the 9th and 10th Amendments, to make the federal limitations perfectly clear to anyone reading the document.

Those powers granted to the federal government are limited for a reason: to retain and preserve liberty and freedom to the states and to the people. When the federal government infringes on the rights of the states, it steals freedom and liberty from the people and increases its own power over us. The federal government has been doing this for decades and nobody seems to notice as they usurp our power and our freedom one small step at a time.

And our dyslexic lawmakers might get around to reading it one of these days, right after they finish reading the 1,000 pages of the Health Reform Bill.
