It began with one Sheriff speaking with other Sheriffs about their oaths to uphold the constitution. A new movement is growing in this country in support of limited government, constitutional principles, states rights and a stronger role for sheriffs to play against federal abuse of power. In this 3-part video interview with Tony DeMeo, Sheriff of Nye County, Nevada, he explains that he is a Constitutional Sheriff and that authority for public office holders is derived from the people:
SNIP
In his own words Sheriff Tony DeMeo describes an incident where federal agents of the BLM threaten him with arrest while the Sheriff issues his own threats of an armed response if illegal seizures of private property in his county continue. Imagine if BLM authorities went ahead with their “normal” operations of seizing cattle found on public property in direct opposition to Sheriff Tony DeMeo warnings? We would witness a standoff with dire consequences.

I have a lot of admiration for someone who measures their words as carefully as you do. Some of us have, like you and I, have been on FR for more than a decade. I feel the last thing we need as FReepers is a bunch of hotheads publicly and prematurely advocating a level of violence that is not only uncalled for but which is forbidden for damn good reasons by FR Terms of Service.
Be prepared. walk softly but carry a big stick.
"Clever way to say you have run out of thoughts on the subject."
Is that over the top? Were your posts over the top? There is some pretty ridiculous moderation going on around here.
Suppose instead that so-called ‘white right-wing extremists’, i.e., Glenn Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Palin etc., were suddenly ‘deemed’ to be (as Obama has the power to define) domestic threats/terrorists and, without due process, were indefinitely detained or assassinated? What might happen then?

You haven't been paying attention to current events.
Its a business decision...just as CW I in 1860 was...

when this goes away...as it will when the bondmarket grenades...then you’ll see separation of the states...but NOT until...
......disenfranchised African-American Youths”.....
Those would be American African youths
If it ever does happen, consideration towards killing the disease of socialism within the states forever should be considered.

Agreed. I would support some Constitutional amendments that ensured States powers, and that those, too, be enumerated. This would take quite a bit of thought, of course.
One thing I do NOT support in my lifetime is a Constitutional Convention. There are too many ways for such an assemblage to be corrupted and the entire Republic railroaded into the pits of hell.
I totally agree about the idea of a Constitutional Convention. Amending the Constitution is purposefully extremely hard to do (unless you’re an activist judge). It needs to stay that way.
Speaking certain truths these days is necessary. You do us no favors by playing these silly games.
It’s a violation of FR policy to not advocate for overthrow of the government. If you don’t like it you can take it up with Jim.
And you are just a brave POS to advocate for it behind your screen name.
You obviously have some kind of a personal issue here. Maybe you should step back, have a cup of coffee, and go do something else for a bit.
Yes my personal issue is with cowards like you. Maybe you should step back and find another forum.
They're ignoring it and hoping that we don't notice. In for a surprise, they are. </yoda>
Who's the "coward"? You get the Mods to help you with fights you start. I'm posting my thoughts out here for all to see.
You are making this awfully personal.
You are the one who made it personal when you started sending me FReepmail calling me names.
You ask leading questions for the express purpose of having them "edited".
Who is more duplicitous?
