Dan - Good one - the only party that I have seen trying to exert Federal power over the States is the GOP - according to Elvis, they must be Socialists!!

Elvis - Your definition of Socialism is unique to be sure. It appears that you are really describing Federalism. And your gun control arguement is one that I have heard so often. You tell me how your firearms will protect you from a government that has tactical nukes and heavy artillery?? I think you must be growing some seriously good organic shrooms out there.
