Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority...

An interesting snippet from the article.

The Constitution says that the States (local government) have the authority to decide all issues that are not given to the federal government.

This "antigovernment" phraseology is inflammatory in that it gives the impression that following the Constitution is "antigovernment" when in fact it is just the opposite.

It is FOR government as the Constitution defines it.

Constitutionally, there is no "federal authority" that legally usurps State's sovereignty in any area where powers are not given to the Federal Government.

It is the federal government that is rejecting the Constitutional rights of the States, ie local government.

Nice spin by those that wish to circumvent the Constitution

Exactly...
I am a “RADICAL CONSTITUTIONALIST”, and I don’t swallow leftist media propoganda blindly.

Which puts me on the enemies list of the current regime....

Exactly the quote that caught my eye.

I wonder when Gov. Perry will be arrested????

There is some kind of improvised, and hopefully unsuccessful ‘initiative’ emanating from this Administration, to do just that:it can come in a variety of expressions: from not “allowing” banks to give money back to them, to dangling enormous tantalizing stimulus packages in front of states who still have leaders who have enough principle not to bite hook, line, and sinker,
which effectively creates dissension between Governors and the citizenry of their states.
The wording of this document from the DHS shows us just what they intend to do.
No two ways about it, unless they come up with a VERY persuasive argument which explains that it’s not that at all, not at all.
Which they won’t do.
We should not get lost in side issues that are designed to soften resistance to the juggernaut this Administration is busy putting into place every single day, from a hundred different directions. We should CALL THEM on THIS, because THIS is part of their overall plan. If it weren’t , they wouldn’t be codifying it into legislation.
