While I agree with you, it would only be intellectually honest if you'd comment on the blue state boogeymen. Wouldn't you agree?
You mean, like... say... rampant racism perpetrated by every person in America with any lighter skin than say a half-Hispanic? Or that the biggest threat to national security is the dreaded white supremacist that is ravaging the entire nation (all seven of them)? Or close behind is the immediate threat of global warming? You know, that the planet will be a cinder in three years unless you donate heavily to the democrat party. Or the gun violence perpetrated by criminals who would cease to be criminals if only guns were made illegal?
That sort of stuff?
Naw, they won't comment on those sorts of boogeymen because those are REAL boogeymen, you see...

Yup. We constantly get played by politicians, conartist and media. Power and money is the ultimate aim. We choose to let ourselves be pawns and scared of the other side.

I have no problem with this. State agencies shouldn't need to be trained in, or funded for, enforcing federal law - that's what we have Federal law enforcement agencies for, no?

How cute, a Dog & Pony Show staged by the Governor of Missouri. Reminds me of states that opposed the 55mph speed limit years ago that quickly changed their minds when federal $$$ was at stake.
