Is the united states going to decide, are the people of this country going to decide that their federal government shall in the future have no right under any implied power or any court-approved power to enter into a solution of a national economic problem, but that that national economic problem must be decided only by the states?... we thought we were solving it, and now it has been thrown right straight in our faces. we have been relegated to the horse-and-buggy definition of interstate commerce.

More From Franklin D. Roosevelt

We have reached a moment in our history where we think that every problem in america has to have a federal government solution. every problem in america does not have a federal government solution. in fact, most problems in america do not have a federal government solution and many of them are created by the federal government to begin with.

The proposed constitution, therefore, even when tested by the rules laid down by its antagonists, is, in strictness, neither a national nor a federal constitution; but a composition of both. in its foundation it is federal, not national; in the sources from which the ordinary powers of the government are drawn, it is partly federal, and partly national; in the operation of these powers, it is national, not federal; in the extent of them again, it is federal, not national; and finally, in the authoritative mode of introducing amendments, it is neither wholly federal, nor wholly national.

There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

In the islamic world, the u.s. is seen in two quite different ways. one view recognizes what an extraordinary country the u.s. is.the other view is of the official united states, the united states of armies and interventions. the united states that in 1953 overthrew the nationalist government of mossadegh in iran and brought back the shah. the united states that has been involved first in the gulf war and then in the tremendously damaging sanctions against iraqi civilians. the united states that is the supporter of israel against the palestinians.

Common sense, to me, is simple. and i've never understood why there aren't a lot of people trying to figure out how the united states became this special place and then try to replicate it around the world, because that's the solution to the human condition. the solution to poverty, the solution to misery, the solution to backwards living is the united states of america. why not learn how that happened, learn why and how we happened. what is it that made it special?
Simple America Common Sense
I consider the government of the united states as interdicted by the constitution from intermeddling with religious institutions, their doctrines, discipline, or exercises. this results not only from the provision that no law shall be made respecting the establishment or free exercise of religion, but from that also which reserves to the states the powers not delegated to the united states. certainly, no power to prescribe any religious exercise or to assume authority in any religious discipline has been delegated to the general government. it must then rest with the states.

The people who are abroad are all those that have no religion, neither one based on speculation nor one received by tradition. such are the extreme turks that wander about in the north, the kushites who live in the south, and those in our country who are like these. i consider these as irrational beings, and not as human beings; they are below mankind, but above monkeys, since they have the form and shape of man, and a mental faculty above that of the monkey.

Religious faith in the case of the hindus has never been allowed to run counter to scientific laws, moreover the former is never made a condition for the knowledge they teach, but there are always scrupulously careful to take into consideration the possibility that by reason both the agnostic and atheist may attain truth in their own way. such tolerance may be surprising to religious believers in the west, but it is an integral part of vedantic belief.
