Yes the federal government does push people around. That is not germane to this topic.

Sure it is, if you're a Constitutionalist, as you claim.

Actually, I started out as a Constitutionalist many years ago on Free Republic, until I realized that the Left (and people like you & Dusty, but I repeat myself...) actually likes constitutional argumentation, because they can wrap their opponents in endless "interpretation" quibbling, as we see here on this thread.

A really good example of the tactic, and its strategic end, is the endless debate over the quite-clear Second Amendment.

In order to cut the Gordian Knot of the endless Constitutional debating, one simply becomes a Declarationist, because, after all, the Constitution sprang from the Declaration.

The Declaration is poison to Constitutional quibblers. It's like a silver cross to a vampire to them, whereas true Constitutionalists rush to embrace the Declaration as the dear old friend that it is.

As we saw above, when you two were confronted with the various Declaration interpretations of the Bundy situation, you studiously ignored them. Oh, yes - it's ALL about the Constitutional quibbling with you two Horatios.

taxcontrol brusquely allows that the millions of dollars being spent (“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”) might be a bit much, but then plunges right back into the quibbling.

The "eating out of the substance" is RIDICULOUS, boys, as is the tyrannical actions of the Fed bully-boys. "First Amendment areas" - what a despotic clown-show.

It's clear on the face of it that this power play was started by the Clintonites immediately after his first election, with a view to locking up the lands out West.

Thanks for the ping.

Excellent post. These same people harp about big government, but when someone like Bundy actually takes a stand, they're right in there with the big government goons, cheering on the jack-booted goon squads. I think we know which side of the fence these quibblers will be on, if the SHTF.

Sorry, I must have missed those "declaration interpretations". Please point me to the post and I will comment.
