The recent situation in Arizona is a good example. Arizona wants to arrest illegals and deport them. and the federal government has said no you can't enforce the law it is a violation of their rights......excuse me was I sleeping in class that day ? maybe I'm not the brightest bulb but don't you have to be a citizen to have constitutional rights ?
Anyway, just once I want a governor to stand up and defy the federal government. I want the governor of Arizona to stand up and say to Eric Holder, we don't care what you say and you can't and wont stop us from enforcing our laws. I would then round up all the illegals I could and shove them back across the Mexican border. if the Feds tried to block that I would load them on a tour bus and drive them to Washington DC and unload them at the capitol building and let them deal with them. If the government sent in federal agents I would escort them to the state line by force if necessary. I would put the feds on notice if you try and stop us we will use national guard troops to protect our state.Actually this would be a good time for any state to take a stand for their rights like this. I would like to see 0bama defend his position in an election year. I would like to see national guard and federal troops square off at the state line, I would like to see Texas side with Arizona and not allow the feds in their state either. I am afraid if we don't have states which aren't afraid to defy the federal government then the feds will continue to shove their garbage down our throats. I think the federal government would be the ones to back down.
It is way past time to make a stand against federal government abuse, the states are the perfect place for that to start. While they are at it let the state of Arizona say they are allowing prayer back in schools, and that they won't enforce federal gun laws and any other unconstitutional law the federal government is shoving down their throat. While we are at it, let Florida continue purge voter rolls and dare Eric Holder to stop them. If the feds try to cut off government funding then the state stops funneling funds to the federal government. Whats the worst that can happen? all the liberals move to California or Washington DC ?Wait a minute that might work.
At least your governor seems to have some b*lls. I hope he tells Holder he has a choice of kissing his big bald head or his shiny white arse.
ReplyDeleteMatt, it seems so at least for now. Hope it holds up.
DeleteThe States will never make a stand, which is too bad, because they're too sissified like most Americans today.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not but as it gets worse they might.
DeleteWhat Stephen said. That, and most state politicians have federal aspirations...
ReplyDeleteCC, very true but there has to be a politician somewhere who has some guts.
DeleteDear Duke - i hope that someone, somewhere down there in the good 'ol US of A and in charge of a state gets themselves a set of you-know-whats and draws a line in the sand. only one needs to do it. only one needs to draw the line.
ReplyDeletebtw, being that i am Canadian and can't vote in your November election, i figure since they aren't checking voter ID's and stuff, i am coming down there and i am voting for you! in as many different states as i can without being incarcerated. gonna' need bail money, buddy.
your friend,
kymber
Kymber, I don't see any reason you can't vote, thousands of Mexicans do. Tell em your Dukes sister.
DeleteIf Arizona or any other state ever takes such a stand, I'm taking leave from my job and heading to that state with as much personal firepower as I and my backpack-wearing dog can carry. If there's shootin' to be done in the name of states' rights, I don't aim to be left out.
ReplyDeleteMurphy, I was thinking the same thing about moving to a state like that. BTW there was a book written about that same situation....can't remember the name.
DeleteEverytime a state stands its ground and tells the Feds to take a flying truck. The Feds wave that check in front of their face, and they fold faster then ice outside of P.P. place's.
ReplyDeleteRob, maybe so but I bet most states send more money to Washington than they get back so just threaten to keep it.
DeleteHey, stop that ... We have enough liberals in California.
ReplyDeleteWoodsterman, my bad, sorry to wish that on you.
DeleteStates fighting back is probably our only hope and I am not very hopefully that they will.
ReplyDeleteAgirl, I think so to. Maybe if things get bad enough there has to be one of the 50 states that will stand up and say 'no more' but it may take a while.
