State nullification of unconstitutional federal acts and omissions is alive and well, the latest being states that refuse to accept the invasion the feds refuse to repel in violation of the feds constitutional obligation to “repel invasions” (Art. I, Sec 8.Cl 15).
The fight for freedom isn’t guaranteed to be an easy or bloodless fight, but it is a battle worth fighting and dying for if necessary. The rag-tag colonists were fighting the most powerful nation in the world. What were their chances? But they had two things going for them that made all the difference:
1) Faith in the God of the Bible
2) Bravery and willingness that “with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence”, they mutually pledged “to each other our lives, our Fortunes and our sacred honor.”
The main point of my two prior posts was to dispel the notion that the growth of the federal government is some sort of recent development. The theories which support that growth date to the very beginning of our Republic. And, so people should not underestimate the difficulty in reversing a major historical trend. We need public support.
