The Oklahoma Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decision, has ordered a monument of the Ten Commandments removed from the state Capitol.
Calling the Commandments “religious in nature and an integral part of the Jewish and Christian faiths,” ... monument must go.
Gov. Mary Fallin has refused. And Oklahoma lawmakers instead have filed legislation to let voters cut out of their constitution the specific article the justices invoked. Some legislators want the justices impeached.
Fallin’s action seems a harbinger of what is to come in America – an era of civil disobedience like the 1960s, where court orders are defied and laws ignored in the name of conscience and a higher law.
Only this time, the rebellion is likely to arise from the right.

U.S. Supreme Court decisions have been defied and those who defied them lionized by modernity. Thomas Jefferson freed all imprisoned under the sedition act, including those convicted in court trials presided over by Supreme Court justices. Jefferson then declared the law dead.

If a family disagreed as broadly as we Americans do on issues so fundamental as right and wrong, good and evil, the family would fall apart, the couple would divorce, and the children would go their separate ways.
Something like that is happening in the country.
A secession of the heart has already taken place in America, and a secession, not of states, but of people from one another, caused by divisions on social, moral, cultural and political views and values, is taking place.
America is disuniting, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote 25 years ago.
And for those who, when young, rejected the views, values and laws of Eisenhower’s America, what makes them think that dissenting Americans in this post-Christian and anti-Christian era will accept their laws, beliefs, values?
Why should they?

I wish I were more optimistic after reading that article.
What increasingly worries me is — drones with agents that could be sprayed down on neighborhoods.
No handgun is going to stop that.
We’d have to fight drones with drones, basically, to protect our neighborhoods.
> However, this is a two way street. Most of the leftist heroes were severely flawed humans, also. Why should they be immune?
Since so many white persons have been shot and killed by black people every street named Martin Luther King Blvd in the United States should be renamed to a white person of historical significance in the area. Its only fair right?
What leftist icons can we attack?
Anything with references to BHO, MLK, or MX
Technology could radically alter the playing field, no doubt. But it could also go toward enhancing individual freedom, e.g., the development of firearms a few hundred years ago contributed to individual rights, because a lot more individuals became instantly powerful with a firearm than a sword.
But as it relates to the premise of the article (”a handgun is enough”), what I take from that is that the indispensible “weapon” is your willingness to resist with whatever you’ve got.

The drones are very fallible in their flight control mechanisms...: )
"Rosa Parks is celebrated. But the pizza lady who said her Christian beliefs would not permit her to cater a same-sex wedding was declared a bigot.We need to celebrate those who defy the barbarians. We need to honor them, cheer them, publicize their stand..

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
That is a bit chilling, and also profound.
I doubt liberals give a shiite, but they should.
Whites won’t do diddly
A race of complete and utter jellyfish today
Led by cowards
You know the worst part of this whole destroy Dixie movement is our own southern leaders did not lift one finger to stop it
But rather enabled it
That Horne bitch is South Cariolina will be voted out next election like these turds usually are but the damage is done
Pussies one and all with a capital V
Horne another fatassed emotional woman in office
if Congress is above the law...
turnabout is fair play..
Hellary can do literally anything and get away with it..
Absolutely right.
Whole lot of supremes deserve public stonings.
The documents are thus not slated for release until 2027.
Was King a communist and was he receiving money from a foreign government(the USSR)?
“an era of civil disobedience like the 1960s, where court orders are defied and laws ignored”....
Why not? Odumbo and his ilk have been ignoring our constitution since day one. Why are we not supposed to object to those actions?
The era of civil disobedience is WELL OVERDUE.

Those are black icons.
“What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?”
Josef Tito, dictator of Yugoslavia, was reportedly asked after he bucked Stalin, what good would Tito’s old rifles do when the Soviet Union rolled into his country with a massive army of new tanks.
Said Tito: “When the Russians climb out of their new tanks, we are going to shoot them with our old rifles.”
