jackk, if Federal govt were to start opening fire stations in every town, this would be un-American indeed.
Maybe socialism is so much slower to “progress” in US because it is revealed by federalism. Every time you have a “good” policy, it is reasonable to try it in a town or a state first. Then, those who do not like it, can easily move away, and others will learn the lesson. So, when D-s try to force every issue through Federal government and courts, their anti-democratic tendencies are revealed.
