And I think you changed the text of this post to eliminate your reference to Ron Paul’s followers. Why does this post still have Ron Paul listed as a search tag when his name is no longer even mentioned in the post?

Aaron, The two previous comments are just plain silly and I hope you disregard them. Specifically, why accuse someone you don’t even know of “fabricating” something. It so reminds me of “Bush Lied, People Died” where a LIE is an intentional mis-statement and, unless the person somehow can read minds or has the accused stating their intentions openly, this is all assumption. Bob assumes. As for Dave, it’s common practice for fools to say a person’s writing sucks and never specify exactly why. Who knows why they do it, but they do!

The first sentence of this article seems to not make any sense.

You are so very correct. The entire 20th century has been the addition of new federal powers that would have shocked the Framers. You talk to people and they voted in the federal election but can’t even name their state officers. We must get back to being “The United STATES of America.” It won’t happen overnight, much to our chagrin, but each step towards more local government and less federal interference is a “step in the right direction.” Libertarians, being highly offended by the over-reach of the feds, often want it all right now. Sorry, gang, but the world doesn’t work that way. Find and support those that move the bar in the right direction. That will encourage others that will move the bar even further.

I keep hearing from Ron Paul supporters reduce the size and scope of government. On abortion the only desire I have heard on the federal level is a desire to see the outrage Roe v Wade overturned and from some, an amendment specifically dealing with abortion.

Aaron, you are talking with misguided “Ron Paul supporters” or you are fabricating them. Ron Paul has argued for years that abortion should be a state’s rights issue. He has also decried the federalization of what previuosly had been state crimes.
