So what are you supporting? central government rules all? States rights? Local government rights?Wow, I actually agree with that statement unless we are talking about the federalism debate as I believe that states have the right to make their own laws if if they are contrary to federal laws within reasonI don't hear the media or congressional leaders from BOTH parties calling for Trump to take responsibility. They are calling for him to give a clear and direct condemnation of the hate groups that instigated the violence. Why he tiptoes around this in contrast to how he handles other situations is pretty mind blowing
That's what I meant: "condemnation". Not so much accepting responsibility, but condemning them.
I never heard Obama or any member of Congress condemn BLM or the Occupy Movement. Pelosi and Hillary actually had good things to say about them.
Even legal scholars on the left voiced concerns about the tolerance and even support of lawlessness by Democrats. The rule of law only works if people choose to obey the law, when leaders in government choose not to obey the law, and encourage others to break the law, a lawless society is not far off.
We are talking about human behavior and the inclination of humans to be lawless and corrupt. We have several thousand years of examples. The Federal government does everything it can to take power from the states. State government does everything it can to take power from local communities, and so on and so forth.
The I'm going to get mine mentality has become deeply rooted in government, the law be damned.
Damn if I know what the solution is to systemic corruption at all levels of government. Or the solution to the two parties who have so rigged elections that short of a billionaire running for office its damn near guaranteed that the bought and paid for party candidate will win.
