“Will you step into my parlor?” said the spider to the fly; “’Tis the prettiest little parlor that ever you did spy. The way into my parlor is up a winding stair, And I have many pretty things to show when you are there.” “O no, no,” said the little fly, “to ask me is in vain, For who goes up your winding stair can ne’er come down again.”
President Obama issued Executive Order 13528 on January 11, 2010 establishing a Council of Governors ostensibly “to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State governments to protect our Nation and its people and property.”
If history has taught us anything, it is to beware of “cooperative partnerships” between the federal government and states. They invariably result in an expansion of federal authority and reach at the expense of the states and a diminution of individual rights and freedoms in the name of the general welfare and national security. So-called “cooperative federalism” is a snare and a delusion. Read more here
One direct result of the new Council of Governors will be to provide the federal government more control of state National Guards, allowing the president to synchronize and integrate federal military operations within the United States. The total disregard for the Posse Comitatus Act within this order is one more erosion of restrictions against the use of the military for law enforcement.
More generally, the new Council of Governors establishes a bureaucratic transmission belt for the president to conscript state governors to act as agents of the federal government. Indeed, by establishing this council, appointed by the president and presided over by the Secretary of Defense, President Obama is asking governors to engage in the ultimate act of sovereign suicide in the name of “intergovernmental cooperation and coordination.”

The laboratories of democracy have become the stomping grounds of socialists.
We used to have a “Senate,” in which senators were elected by the state legislatures, in order to represent state interests at the federal level.
This will change. Nature abhors a vacuum.
All we need to do is get our governors to refuses to be lapdogs and throwout the ones that are. thats not as easy as it sounds. But the fact is the system was not designed for the different parts to be “cooperating” unless there truly is mutual agreement. For the most part their suppose to be competing.
I suppose this issue is really just a microcosm of the greater problem with Obama and the democrats mindset in that they seem to think the failure of the system to get past their agenda is in fact a failure rather then a product of the system to resist being used to impose upon the people things the people dont want.
Its a good thing congress cant pass health-care, its a good thing its so hard, thats the way its suppose to be! its not suppose to be a party-line dictatorship! Your not suppose to be able to just impose whatever you want!
The system is designed to help stop anyone from ever having that kind of power Not let them be successful in obtaining that kind of power!
There is a good reason “progressives” have not been able to completely take over the health-care system as they wanted to over the last 100 years. Our Federal constitutional system was not designed to allow that kind of centralized power!

We have become that frog in the water and Obama is heting it slowly so we dont get the opportunity to jump out.
Piece by piece he is destroying this country. I cannot help but wonder who is behind him,because he isnt smart enough for this by himself.
I think at least some or many of them will, the problem will be the ones that don’t. We may end up having a confrontation.
According to the Constitution the States get to pick all the officers of the National guard, now would be a good time to start clenching the ranks of anyone who might choose loyalty to the Federal government over the State and liberty.
We do that and provide the state Government is not in cahoots, we will be able to hold the line long enough to wake enough of our bothers up as to stage a good defense.
It cant hurt, so might as well be prepared for the worst case situation.
I’ve been saying this for two years at least.
,,,or without it. And I quote, "Yesterday, the Senate blocked a bill that would have created this commission. So I will issue an executive order that will allow us to go forward, because I refuse to pass this problem on to another generation of Americans.”
- B.H. Obama, January 27, 2010
The whole Alinsky apparatchik, that's who (and they are legion).
If there’s ever been a point in recent history where the possibility of a real or staged crisis will be fully taken advantage of and martial law imposed, we are there.
Yes, Zero’s that arrogant and that stupid.
He’s going to try something in my opinion. Too much spending time with individuals that make the KKK look bland and a third world despot mentality which can be seen with Zero’s cousin Odinga’s exploits supported by Barry.
Likewise he’s purposefully destroying the economy, what’s the next steps? The Constitution has proven to be no obstacle, he has no respect for the law as seen by the fool admonishing SCOTUS.
I’m going forward with the belief that the 2010 November election may not happen. Some call it crazy, but if we had more informed populace, Barry’s poll numbers would be much lower.
SOME national guard, local police and out of state police seized weapons from citizens after Katrina, which were never returned. Hear their stories on Youtube. They will try again. Not on a national scale but regional step by step. Local jurisdictions will be threatened by the feds, which is the SYNCHRONIZATION this executive order mentions. There was expansion of government, defense over the years with somewhat good intentions (Infragard, Dept of Homeland Security) but they will be taken advantage of by an enemy of state.
It’s what we don’t know that worries me.
Are you positive about that? I'm not student of Constutional Law, but to my recollection, it takes 2/3rds of a majority for ratification, which would mean only 34 states to pass it. Where am I wrong?
