I completely agree. The Federal government is being stretched way too thin, having to worry about all these Mickey Mouse bullchit issues that the states really have jurisdiction over.

Case in point (again) is Hurricane Katrina. It's so chic to blame Bush for his failures, but where's the blame for Blanco and Mayor Chocolate City? According to the Constitution, state and local governments are fully responsible for dealing with disasters like this, and the Federal government is the "last resort."

Here in St. Louis, when we endured the floods of '93, we didn't whine to the Federal Government. We used state and local resources. (Well...then again, we were civilized and helped each other. Not like in Chocolate City, where the locals SHOT AT folks who tried to help)

States need to step up, and the Federal Government needs to stop meddling in their affairs. Of course, the Commucrats would LOVE the Federal Government to control EVERYTHING, but then again, that's why they've only had one President since Jimmah Carter.
