Question by Viktor-Ron Paul 2008!!: Why should the Federal government have the ability to preside over issues like abortion and same-sex rights?
Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, The Death Penalty, Education, etc. should all be in the hands of the states! Why should the government be able to make decisions on these issues, point on point. Who’s saying our Federal Government has the best judgment? Let the people decide on these issues in their respect states, and create state competition. Why do we tolerate the government in our lives, in social issues such as these?
Does not the tenth amendment state that all rights not mentioned in the Constitution belong exclusively to the states or the people?

I think its horrible that our federal Govt trys to stick its hands in everything.
To askers added comment
Yes it does. That is one reason I Love Ron Paul. He does not vote for anything not expressly mentioned in the Constition, because as a legislator on the Federal level it is not his place to. WoW. Dr. No . I love it that one man actually Abides by the Constition. For over 20 yrs too. His voting record is easily researched. I love that although he personally does not think same sex marriage is ok, he voted No on A Federal Same Sex Marriage Ban because its not the federal govts job to define that. Thats integrity.

Democrats are just as responsible as Republicans for the Mess that our government has become. They both bear equal blame as do the people who vote on silly things like name recognition.
Calvin Republicans are no longer the party of Small Government. They have aquired a love of throwing money at things to fix them. Which is what republicans used to say about democrats. Somewhere along the line people who were social conservatives but Big Govt liberals enterd therepublican party claiming to be conservatives when in fact they are just conservatives socially. The popular word for these people are Neo Cons. Read “Where The Right Went Wrong” by Patrick J Buchanan to read more about the beginings of the Neo Con movement and how they hijacked the Republican Party. The Party of “Small Government”
