So really what the main point is. The fed’s are spending too much money and trying to bribe every one with it. WE have to put a stop to this madness some how. Wake up people !!! Would really like to get on a soap box but suffice it to say- Yes- we need more states rights and less of this rape and pillage federal BULL. The paths the big boys want is not a path to Freedom nor individual rights. America is the greatest country because of the way our fore fathers set it up. They came from government control and taxes and the same place they are trying to take us now. I was a D student in history but my dumb ### can see the light.

Wyoming wants state sovereignty?  Ha!  Sounds good.  Aren’t there about 80 people total living in WY.  Sure, they’ll be fine on their own.  Can’t wait to watch them draw from their massive tax base to subsidize all their little progams.  Oh yeah, that means the biggest welfare program in their state will be shut down….subsidies to farming and ranching.  Management works best at the local level?  Serious Clark?  If you believe that then I have some ocean front property in Wyoming you might be interested in.

Management is suppose to start with our selves, and then go to our houses, then our towns, then our states, then to the Feds. We the people, for the people, by the people. They are spending us into ruins. We are owned by other countries. They have done this on purpose. WE need less government and more self responsibility. Keep those dollars hear and not even send them to start with. We need a government for the people—not against the people. They have us tricked into thinking we need the money from the government in order to make them selves even bigger.

Adolph Hitler and his Nazi cronies got their start in the remote southern state of Bavaria during the early 1920s.  Bavaria is actually far more beautiful than Wyoming.  It’s mostly gorgeous mountains.  Imagine the Tetons and the North Cascades spread over more than half of the state and you’ll have a little clue about how beautiful Bavaria is.  Wyoming on the other hand is mostly ugly, flat and dry.  Huge winds sweep down off of the few mountains and blow east.  They actually have gates every few miles on the north/south interstate to close it when the snow, the blizzards and the winds get too bad.  Shame on you if you try to pass through one of those gates in bad weather.

Wyoming is nothing like Bavaria in terms of beauty or environment, but it does share several things with Bavaria in the 1920s.  It’s mostly agricultural, most folks are dirt poor, uneducated and dreadfully ignorant, and they are totally conservative.  They hate government in every form except the one they dream of as Hitler did.  They sent their own special curse upon America by sending Dick Cheney, the closest to Hitler America has ever produced, and now they have the utter gall to issue an ultimatum to Washington, DC, telling it to “back off.” 

Fine.  Let them secede.  Let them stop paying federal taxes.  In return, Washington will cut off aid to schools in Wyoming, Medicare, Medicaid, Bonneville power supplies, rail subsidies, food stamps, Pell grants, prenatal and post natal care subsidies and everything else.  Let’s see how long the neo-Nazis of Wyoming can survive on their own resources.

That is a pretty far fetched comparison there D.S. and I do not think comparing Rep. Pete Illoway to Hitler is fair either. In case you have not noticed Montana is doing a little challenge of our own with the made in Montana rifles. You speak frequently and highly of Europe I do not doubt that it has it’s charms but both my feet are here and I do not believe that I would or many others that frequent this website allow such a thing to happen. So cutback one wee dram of that scotch your hitting, your still in America

I think the federal govt. is getting to big, I really believe that their reaching proportions that they cannot control themselves. It really does seem that States could do a better job with some infrastructure items such as roads and government health care. It seems that when you try to micro manage you lose sight of the big picture.
