Someone gets it. I’m consistently urging all FReepers to READ The Federalist Papers and after that, The Anti-Federalist Papers.
The Federalist is about the Federal Government.
The Anti-Federalist is about the State Governments.
And shove that Constitution into the face of any liberal or DemocRat you meet.
