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.

This is nothing more than domestic jingoism.
There isn’t going to be a “civil war”.
Same.
You are probably right - but I would not bet against some bloodshed.
On that you are probably correct as well. If Obama is toast in the elections of 2012 there will be for sure. Nobody I know though is going to simply stand on a street corner with a target on their back waiting for a gunshot from " angry disenfranchised African-American Youths".
There will be a war but it certainly will not be civil.
I’m wondering if this is where Eric Holder is headed.
My thoughts:
I support the Sheriff.
The feds are playing with fire.
The Sheriff better be very strong in his convictions, especially now that he has resisted the feds.
If there ever is another civil war, and I believe there very well could be, this is NOT something that will start it.
The reporter is an idiot.
The Cartels are just a few steps away from starting a terrorism campaign in the States, the White Hut does nothing to protect our southern border, the White Hut SUES American Citizens for upholding the law, the White Hut calls American citizens terrorists that oppose it’s views.....I would say that’s some of the ingredients for the beginning of a civil war.
Sheriffs have a lot of power they do not use. They can arrest the Feds.
what about disenfranchised mad Americans that are fed up.
Sounds like a Man who is taking his oath seriously, he has the authority over his county, not the Feds.
I for one am glad to see him standing up and support him 1000%.
If we had more like him that were willing to show their "domestic jingoism" we wouldn't have the marxist breathing down our necks now.
Do you mean it will be an “uncivil war”???
Ping!
"Disenfranchised mad Americans" aren't going to start any "civil war". You have to have a state or ground to start a civil war from. If Joe Shmoe in Texas and John Smith in Indiana and Bob Doe in Wyoming start shooting at authorities because they are "Disenfranchised mad Americans" nothing will come of it other than bad press for "right wing extremist".
At first reading I would stand with Sheriff Tony DeMeo. What is going in here with the Obama Administration? What have the Democrats done to our Constitution?
The longer view of history teaches us that mere sparks sometimes lead to a conflagration.
