[quote=Anonymous]To those saying they only want National Security to be handled at the Federal level, what does that mean?  As I mentioned above, does that include a highway system?  What about subsidies for agriculture so that we could withstand a siege?

Also, where do you stand with regard to the role of Federal government with respect to civil rights, which one might argue was the thing the Founders cared about most?  Are you okay with some states going back to Jim Crow?  Or massive voter suppression which was the reason the Voting Rights Act was passed?

And how do interstate issues factor in?  Rivers and airborne pollution stubbornly don't respect state boundaries, so if one state has drastically different environmental regulations than the other it can cause a lot of conflict.  In the Western states, these conflicts are ongoing but mediated and kept under control at the Federal level.  In other parts of the world, these kinds of issues crossing shared borders can be the cause of armed conflict.  Since regulating "interstate commerce" is part of the Constitutional power granted to the Feds, what should it look like in the conservative fantasy.[/quote]
