That the blowback needs to start somewhere? How many knock down-drag outs have you ever noticed starting from a dead calm? Rarely I suspect. It almost always starts with an exchange of -- words. Do you think these actions by the states should be encouraged, discouraged, or should the states call up their militias and declare war against the feral government?
Ok. What do you want to mean by saying "a state?"
For "a state" to "call up their militias*", you'd have to have a legislature with enough popular support to do so. And so Missouri and New Hampshire is listed? Michigan and California? Puhlease!
You must be joking!
I certainly agree with you that " the blowback needs to start somewhere."
That is absolutely true.
And guess what! If there's not even a single popular voice in the political arena leading the revolt, then there's not going to be an armed revolt! See?!
I'm asking where is the Tom Paine? Where's the Sam Adams? Where is Thomas Jefferson rallying public opinion for certain individual liberties!?!
There's NONE. I'm eager to hear! Limbaugh has an audience, and he keeps them satiated daily so that they can listen, and then go about their day feeling like they got something off their chest. Jindal? Barbour? Steele? Hunter? Huckbee? Seriously! There's no Ronald Reagan II anywhere here. And until a leader like that emerges in the political arena and actually does something more than eunuchs burying neutered bills into dead end committees...then there is no such thing as armed rebellion, and furthermore, if you try to do it before the country is really ready, you'll end up roasted like they were at Waco.
We lost our country when North and South accepted the iron fist of the Federal Governt. We aren't trying to save Geo Washington's Republic. We are trying to overturn the Soviet States Bureacracy of FDR and LBJ. And that is not a "torch and pitchfork" affair.
