You didnt answer a single question or address the fact
your so sure that the fed gov wouldnt do the same thing, that youd run the risk that they could mandate that ALL states practice segregation if they chose to do so?
You want power to the people, but you think that the people have a better chance fighting the FEDERAL government , then they do STATE mandates?
The civil war wasnt about slavery,

I don't wish to make it about anything.
The fact is, this is about the election for President, not a state election. It is what it is. Everything else is irrelavent.

mob rule will never work, especially now. States rights should be encouraged, but there should be a law enacted that the people of that state have the ability to vote on the laws passed by their state government, and by the way it is much easier to vote out state officials than federal officials. So you decide, would you rather have a mega-corrupt federal government, or a semi-corrupt state government? A state government, that you can vote out easier and perhaps a federal law can be passed that gives more power to the people, dealing with their ability to vote on their state and county laws. Perhaps we should break laws down by county, people of the counties can vote in laws for their own county which best suit their county. The only thing that should remain state run should be education. The smaller the government the better, for the most part. The only thing the federal government should be doing is protecting our currency and empowering the business environment to be able to succeed better. And national defense.

Ron Paul appeared as a guest on CNN’s American Morning Tuesday, and put on a lively, sometimes-contentious interview with Ali Velshi. The visit began in a state of calm, with talk about Paul’s surge in Iowa, as Velshi quoted a Nate Silver study that gives Paul a 52% chance of winning the caucus
“We certainly do have a chance,” Paul said. “I think we’re in a good position. I’m really enjoying it.”
Velshi quickly got into more serious topics, like Paul’s advocating for the elimination of federal departments and, more specifically, his belief that the Federal Reserve should be scuttled. Velshi asked Paul if the Fed — and central banking as a whole — is a major problem:
Velshi then brought up quotes attributed to a Paul newsletter from 20 years ago that included racist and prejudiced ideals. Paul has disavowed them several times and contends that a person on his staff of six to eight people wrote it. He added that he was practicing medicine at the time and didn’t have much oversight with the newsletter.
When Velshi pressed Paul on the topic, the GOP candidate challenged people to read everything he’s said or written, at which point they’d realize the comments were a glaring anomaly. “These charges are a total contradiction to everything I’ve said and everything I believe.”
