» Brian Tubbs - REMEMBER

Pink and whoever else is following these discussions....

REMEMBER, REMEMBER, REMEMBER that the main, underlying reason the anti-Federalists opposed the US Constitution was that they feared a strong, central government.

They were afraid that a strong, centralized government would eventually eradicate the states and trample on the rights of the people. It's ironic that you (Pink) and Migisi and Wendell and several others here are saying that the present US government is doing just that!!!!

The anti-Federalists wanted to keep the power of government as close to the people as possible.....and that meant power to the states. They wanted power to be DECENTRALIZED.

Were they right?

Like I said, I'm a Federalist. But I don't think it's very honest or fair to MISREPRESENT where the anti-Federalists were coming from. They had some valid concerns and fears -- some of which HAVE come true.
