Today's federal government infringes citizen rights far more than did the British Crown of Hamilton's time. Hamilton's fantasies about the benevolence of an all-powerful central government may be excused as historical naïveté, but today anyone who insists the federal leviathan is other than maliciously imperious is either blind or bribed.

How can anyone not recognize the monster is uncontrollable, when governors must resign over petty corruption but a President deceived us into war and bankrupted the nation yet stood divinely unimpeachable – as if the ancient pagan ritualism that equated kingship with godhood never went away.

An America of sovereign states, whose governments are more human-sized, will dismiss egomaniacs who proclaim that a citizen's "glorious duty" is to sacrifice in "full measure" to the Federal Imperium. Let's abolish the Cult of Federalism, before our wannabe-caesars can extract more of that kind of blood-drenched "glory" from us.
