Friday Open Thread – Should Government Boss Society around or Should It Be Society Dictating to Government?

by Skip

Indeed:

  • Abortion – really a case of Federalism sending Powers back to the States
  • School Vouchers – really a case of Religious Liberty and telling States they can’t discriminate against non-secular schools
  • Guns – really a case of Individual Liberty / Constitution MEANS what is written (“shall not be infringed”)
  • Prayer – again, Religious Freedom that Government is not allowed to stop
  • CO2 / Climate Change – really a case of stopping a government agency, the EPA, from acting on Powers it grabbed on its own instead of just “following orders” in its authorizing legislation

A lot to unpack there, folks!  But as always, this is YOUR time to shine in the comments while I just throw out some ideas…use’em or throw’em; the choice is yours!

I just wish I could get caught up on everything…

    Co-founder of GraniteGrok, my concern is around Individual Liberty and Freedom and how the Government is taking that away. As an evangelical Christian and Conservative with small "L" libertarian leanings, my fight is with Progressives forcing a collectivized, secular humanistic future upon us. As a TEA Party activist, citizen journalist, and pundit!, my goal is to use the New Media to advance the radical notions of America's Founders back into our culture.
