Putting the Cart Before the Horse
The Obama regime has a perverse view of the relationship between government and Americans. This country was founded on the principle of consent of the governed. The people are the boss, not the government. Yet this administration acts and speaks as if we are here to service the government. They believe they have a divine right to harvest whatever they deem necessary to feed their rapaciousness machine.

Thoughts on Federalist No. 28
It is interesting to look at the Federalists through the lens of history. Hamilton, Madison and Jay were frequently spot on with their observations and predictions. Some of Hamilton's arguments are a little hard to follow in their logic, but in spite of his occasional rhetorical license, he was right more often than not.
