It's kind of like, I care more about what my kids do than what your kids do.

The Republican claim to be more in favor of "States Rights" is a political ploy dating back to the Mitchell Plan of the early 1970s, when the Republicans began actively recruiting Southern Democrats afraid that their party was going to be overrun and taken over by
"them."
I know a bunch of people who claim to be libertarians. Some of them are just unwilling to admit they are Republicans. The rest of them recognize that the Republicans claim to be a bunch of things using libertarian terms, but have some very strange interpretations on how they mean it. The Republicans claim to be for less government, yet simply shift the growth of government into different areas. They claim to be fiscally responsible, but consistently practice the voodoo economics of cutting taxes in anticipation of fantasy revenue growth - and now we've got an entire little war brewing off-budget. Morons please note - I did not say unnecessary war. I just said said war.
