<<I'm for the whole Bill of Rights, including the Right that forbids the central government from usurping powers not granted to it. >> You and Ronald Reagan. One of the few Executive Orders he proclaimed was that any rights or powers not given to the Federal Government in the Constitution belonged to the States. Last year Bubba tried to overturn that when he issued an Executive Order while he was in England that said any powers or rights not given to the States in the Constitution belonged to the Federal Government. Didn't float. Nasty Newt got it shot down.

Hear, hear, Freddie! A great post on this day that we remember those who died to keep us free. Not that I want to speak for everybody. Funny, I don't think we can all agree with the statement, "God Bless America," and it's pretty obvious that we can't all agree on what the Constitution means. I'll just say that I am glad to be an American.

Since I have no idea what I may have written that occasioned such a response, I have no idea how to reply. But, as I said, the sort of person who cannot find a dimes worth of difference between the two parties is not likely to subscribe to these propositions. I know of no neoconservative interested in federalizing the public schools--- most of us support vouchers, and I personally would like to abolish the Department of Education. Similarly, we are for the abolition of quotas and set- asides, because we think that those kind of race conscious policies increase resentment. The president has always had a great deal of latitude in the use of force, although he is supposed to consult with the Congressional leadership except in situations of extreme emergency. Most of us would like to see a more robust application of the 10th amendment, although even Robert Bork has noted that the strict construction of the amendment is probably a dead letter. Anyway, I purported to be speaking for the mainstream, not Libertarians...
