The Bill of Rights was created to keep the states from trampling the rights of the individual. But make no mistake, the country was founded on limited central governmental powers. The framers knew that an over reaching federal government would be the downfall of the USA and a burden to individual freedom. Localized government works more efficiently and less oppressively.
Ron Paul gets it. It's too bad he can't articulate like obama. But people get bored with silly things like facts and substantial, reasoned communication. After all, platitudes and high ideals are much less boring and what win elections.
