STATES' RIGHTS CAN TRANSCEND GLOBAL UNITY!

STATES’ RIGHTS CAN TRANSCEND GLOBAL UNITY!

States' rights

In American political discourse, states' rights refers to political powers reserved for the U.S. state governments rather than the federal government according to the United States Constitution, reflecting especially the enumerated powers of Congress and the Tenth Amendment. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States’ rights)

We are in the midst of a very unusual election process, and Presidential run.  Kasich, Trump, Sanders, Clinton, and Cruz, are all still battling it out, until this coming Tuesday, April 19^th, in New York State, when the ax will most definitely come down on at least one candidate, based on recent, gaping poll numbers.

Hillary Clinton has widened her lead on Bernie Sanders in New York, despite, Bernie’s oncoming onslaught, over the past 11 elections, taking many states, and votes, away from her.  However, even with a huge young following in this state, and a huge last moment push to get the vote out, it seems, Bernie’s rocket, has lost its’ fuel.  Bernie Sanders was in Binghamton, this past Monday, my current, and hometown, and didn’t even pack a medium sized Floyd Maine’s Veteran’s War Memorial Arena!  Wood News Agency, already seeing the slumping numbers in New York State, over the past weekend, chose not to take part in day time coverage of his event.

Bernie, talks a great game, has some neat ideas, but really doesn’t have any plausible answers, as to how anyone would pay for his concepts, without the ever, quickly growing deficit, sky-rocketing!

So, we come down to the Republican Amigos, and Clinton, to press towards the conventions.

While this is happening, a big discussion has over taken politics and news, over the electorate college, and why different states, vote different ways.  In no way, will this article aim to answer that in a definitive way, but will struggle to put forth a reasonable answer, based on theory.

This great country of ours, America, was established on an incredible constitution, which, once upon a time, was used correctly, through states’ rights, to establish a black mark upon our History!  That being Slavery of the African Kings, Queens, and their royal tribes, that we disgustingly, threw into the sugar, and other trade markets, of the first major triangle-trade of the Bermuda’s, Africa, and the America’s.  Not to lessen Britain’s place in the trade market, as well, but it was America, who took it to a whole new biblical, slavery level, that the earth hadn’t seen in hundreds of years.

The great Constitution of America, however, was the overlaying symbol of freedom, and states’ rights, which ended up, by proper amendments, changing the course of freedom, and the United States, forever!  Amendments, to States’ own constitutions, brought on by a large governing body of Congress, instead of just one President, or a few Supreme Court Judges.  Checks and balances, used in a way, we haven’t seen in decades, due to the extreme right, or extreme left Congressional individuals, who continue to stump our Constitution, our Country, and its people!

So, why do we have different constitutions in different states, and why do we vote differently in different states, and different areas of the country….?

If, anyone, which millions have, has traveled around this great Continent of Northern America, and the United States, state to state, and region to region, they would have to admit to seeing, and experiencing, the vast differences in cultures, religious beliefs, and ways of living.  That alone should simply explain why we have different constitutions, and different ways of voting.  Based completely on those three sub-divisions, one can concur, that we are all different in this country.

However, it goes further than that.  It really is about our National Constitution, standing for one of the most important parts of itself, which is freedom of all men, who come to America to lay down their burdens... Mexican, Irish, German, Welsh, African, Middle Eastern, Chinese, Latin, Nordic, Japanese, Cuban, South American, Canadian…and the list goes on, from the Mayflower to now!  We are all immigrants in this country!  Even the American Indians, migrated, to be the first souls to inherit the great earth of America, before it was America!  So, again, everyone here, is a relative of an immigrant, with immigrant blood.

Each different area of the country, therefore, has the right to vote, and elect who they want, based on their sub-cultures, and beliefs.  The Constitution, and the States’ Constitution allow for it, for the very easy explanation, that none of us are alike, and none of us should have to do what someone else tells us to do, or to believe, in this great, free country of America!

So, maybe, as an example to the Globe, in human resurrection of unity, we stop the fighting over why the electorate is so strange, and why each state has its own way of voting. Maybe, just maybe, we stop telling the Mexicans, who desperately want to be here, and give their families a much better life, than in the drug-havened Mexico, to go home… and yes, we get rid of all the major criminals!  Mexico should pay us, to ship them back, straight into their own prisons, and we allow the hard working Mexicans to stay, get cards, and start paying their proper state and Federal taxes.

This concept, would actually help pay down the National Debt, probably quicker, than any Congressional, or Presidential theory put forward, thus far, by any candidate, Senator, or Representative.

When we humans put our minds to something, we can achieve the greatest, and most fascinating advances that man never thought of, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, or fifty years ago!  So, if we put this kind of thinking into how we can best help man, around the Globe, and not just in our own Country, then I’m guessing, that more people, would love America, than they do already.

America is loved by many in Europe, and the Middle East, and everywhere, much more than extremists on either side of the aisle will admit.  Actually, they both preach that everybody hates America.  So, are those jaded angles, or what?

America, and its individual states’ rights, are what make us the greatest nation in the world, and we can actually be the great example for bringing the Globe together in Unity, instead of hatred.  Hatred, Evilness, and greed are what hurt the World.  Love, Goodness, and sharing, are what make it go round.

Let us all, stop judging each state, for their own way of doing things, and let us start allowing people, to be who they want to be.  Gay, straight, religious, atheist…. whatever you are, be who you are strongly, and don’t hide from anyone!

We can, stop trying to change our great Constitution, and start obeying it, as plainly as it reads!

The Globe can be ONE, but can still, be individualistic!
