Politics and Me

My political ideology is strict Constitutionalist. I carry a combination Declaration of Independence and US Constitution in my back pocket at all times. I even have a US Constitution application for my iPhone. I hold this document in a position of reverence. It is the single most succinct and important document to ever govern a group of people.
Our Union, the United States of America is not a country in the traditional sense. It is a group of 50 separate countries (states) which follow a common charter, The US Constitution. So long as the states do not violate this charter they may conduct business in their state in whatever manner they see fit.
The federal government is meant to do nothing more than enforce the regulations set forth in the US Constitution, but after 2 centuries I’m afraid we have drifted far off the Founding Father’s original mark. The federal government is now a bloated entity filled with bureaucracy and greed. Without swift action our Union will never return to its former glory.
My country (state) is Texas. It was where I was born and I still spend the majority of my time there. I wave its flag with more pride than the flag which represents the United States.
I am a Texan first and an American second.
