The PEOPLE is the largest special interest group out there, but we are a silent, apathetic majority. Wake up, you passive knuckleheads, and DO something.

I agree, both predominant parties have lost track of the purpose of the federal government. Nice post! I agree, both predominant parties have lost track of the purpose of the federal government.

Before I do, here's a preview: The Federal Government is too big. Pres. Bush turned his back on the core values of conservative Republicanism when he a) grew the federal government and b) spent a lot of money. Pres. Obama is holding true to liberal Democratism by a) continuing to grow the government and b) continuing to spend money. Neither Party is holding true to the US Constitution. So many laws, bills, initiatives, executive orders, etc., etc., etc. are aimed at doing "good" things. So everyone thinks that these are well and fine. But the problem is this: It isn't the role of the Federal Government to DO these things! It isn't that I don't believe in compassionate governance. I do. But most of the things going on at the national level are, according to the US Constitution, the right of the States. I'll continue on my blog. :) I am going to be posting a similar thing on my blog soon, but first I have to go run some errands for work. Before I do, here’s a preview:
