Ron Paul Predicts: 'Going To Be Defacto Secession Movement'...

[Contumacious]

Nothing says love for your country than wanting it to break apart.

Nothing says love for your country more than the creation of a gargantuan tyrannical enslaving welfare/warfare police state.

Ron Paul is right on this subject. We should never have gone to popular election of U.S. Senators, since this undermines the basic concept that they should represent their States. Now they are elected with national special interest money. States need to start challenging federal authority, especially in the areas of executive orders and administrative rules and regulations. The Constitution never envisioned this usurpation of State sovereignty.

Spot On. Thanks.

How does direct election of senators undermine the basic concept that they should represent their States? If they were appointed, they would simply be party apparatchiks of whichever party happened to be in power in the state at the time. At least election gives the people some voice in who represents them.

That's why we have the House of "Representatives". The ratifiers had a healthy fear of too much democracy so they balanced one house elected by mob rule with another elected directly by the states so that the government wouldn't be run only by special interests like it is today.

Ron Paul is right.

So republicans are afraid of too much democracy? Fair and free elections by the state's populace = mob rule? Political appointment of senators by ruling party would eliminate special interests? How? Sounds like rule by plutocracy.

Yes, there is a such thing as too much democracy. Even Leftists believe this which is why they're trying to overturn democracy in the courts with fag marriage.

Clearly, many States are moving in this direction. We're seeing it more & more especially on issues like Drug Legalization. The conflict between States and the Federal Government is growing more hostile.

The Magic Negro didn't help issues when he sued Arizona. When the national (not federal) government tells states they are the enemy, states will begin to think of themselves that way and push back. I'm not for drug legalization, but I'm all for states pushing back and even seceding. Ron Paul is right about this.

Most people don't understand that we have a national government now, not a federal government. The difference couldn't be greater.
