For more than a century millions upon millions of
Americans have spent their earnings (and earnings of others) to special
interest groups and non-profit foundations. The amounts have comfortably been
in the billions of dollars for your pet peeve and issues.
Unlike our ancestors decades ago we think we've been
lobbying our congressman and chosen political party with our time and money.
Our ancestors weren't fooled right away, it took a
while for them to realize their federal government could be the agent of
plunder for themselves.
Whether it's been Constitutional or not has not mattered to our elected. I think
it might have been Lew Rockwell who said "our federal government now
is but one political body with two heads". Any new party would just
be bought-off likewise, and just become another head. Liberty is
embellished in the mind and soul, not in a political banner.
You've fought federal gun control, federal education, the unlawful income tax
and the 16th Amendment, federal land grabs, state national guards in
undeclared conflicts, abortion, Social Security, Federal Reserve, United
Nations treaties, and many, many more liberty-robbing oppressions from
Washington too numerous to mention. And now we've got federal health care to
zap us again for more energy drain.
If "only congress shall make laws" why is it we have
permitted congress, the Supreme Court and Executive Branches, and not to be
left out, our hundreds of federal agencies to make their own rules
("statutes")? You know the answer to that question. Because they
were bought out from under us. Washington is corrupted through and through in
every fiber by a Corporatist state.
If you remain a 'single issue patriot' , we're not
going to make it. Woulda, Coulda,
Shoulda
won't cut it as an afterthought. Look at the big picture by avoiding
societal conflicts engineered by Washington.
The US southern states have been there, done that
all before. Southern states of that era were predominantly Jeffersonian
Democrats. The Republican-controlled congress of the 1860s levied
discriminatory taxes on the southern agrarian states and punishing protective
tariffs for northern manufacturers on competing importers. That South
Carolina's firing on Fort Sumter started the Civil War is a bold-faced lie.
That 'historical' account is absurd to the extreme. SC had already seceded
and was now under the Confederate States of America.
They were now a foreign country. Fort Sumter had been ceded to the United
States by SC, but only as a member of the United States. Not only did
Washington not return the island to SC, but it took act of war action by re-inforcing it with additional Union troops stowed away on
the warship, Star of
the West! An early 'false flag' event of our federal
government!
Okay, that's your dose of US Civil War history for now. We are a refugee
ourselves from the northern states, living pleasantly in the South, but still
the theft of our rights from Washington goes on unabated.
Is secession
called for again? Absolutely no!... Yet.
All the states have a sledgehammer tool of all sledgehammers in freedom's quiver.
It must be taken out from its repository and re-slung into the bow. It's
known as NULLIFICATION.
Just as state secession is not unlawful, neither is it for a sovereign state
to exert its authority by mandate for the 10th Amendment. This article
was intended by our framers to prohibit the central government by exercising
any power not specifically granted to it. But, you knew that already.
Familiarize yourself with Nullification, it's our
lifeline to rescuing our stolen liberties. Don't you just love it when the
MSM trots out their "constitutional scholars" to their TV audiences
for definitive clarification! You are the scholars here, not the appointed or
even the elected. They have a sworn oath of office to you!
Let's not be like a Greece and the euro. Iceland was
right - get the hell out! If we're going down the tube,
let's go down by keeping corruption local at the state level!
