If this becomes law, they’ll get a lot of tourists from Texas. Way more than the casinos ever did.
Aren’t you running for something? Don’t you have a bumper sticker that reads: Vote for me, I can’t do worse?
Do it, Hildy. Try to get it on the ballot in May. That would be too cool.
They will die out eventually....Any tribe worth spit knows that..and should be planning ahead.
I'm part Indian....and I've never been in a casino here.
Anyway...that ends my little rant.
You are not looking at the correct issue.
Go read Article V. It very clearly allows states to construct changes to the US Constitution.
That was not allowed for the War Between the States(It was not a civil war like you said).
Huh? You've obviously never been to Tulsa.
We can at least fight.
It’s better than being docile slaves.
No doubt. We can and will fight. I’m just sayin’ it’s a token move. A slap in their face. We’ve got to do much, much more than that. Substance, please.
Does that mean skipping out on the taxes, too? Seems there is a HEAVY taxation placed on this entire illegal scheme of Obama.
At no time in our history has the federal govt gone to these lengths against the majority of citizens and states, in a clearlt unconstitutional manuever.
No, a civil war was a group that attempts to overthrow the govt. At no time did the south wish to overthrow the US govt. IT wished only to not have certain states not dictate law to other states. IT was a war between the dtates
Of course they have. Almost from its inception the Constitution was under seige. Federalism took an early toll. Then when the South lost the Civil War, they effectively lost their argument for state’s rights. The govt. walked all over them and the Constitution. The carpetbaggers were out of control. The South reacted with lynchings and Jim Crow. This is all part of that same cycle. It’s the exact same argument. Lynchings are on the rise in this country since 2008 and we’re in the middle of a white uprising and 2012 backlash. These attacks on our Constitution and the backlash has all been done before and will continue until one side follows through to extreme. Obama is certainly committed to going the distance. But I don’t know if our side has the stomach to finish this. And I don’t think our side has the necessary understanding of what is really going on here if we’re going to deny this problem wasn’t around in 1776. We give too much credit to Obama. Token anti-healthcare votes by the states are just that: Token. It will take much more than that.
i think it far different now as a majority of states understand the burden placed upon them by the feds. this was not the case in the war between the states as greedy northern states were only too glad to pillage southern states.
big, big difference
