Our STATE Governments' Need To Step In And STOP THIS POWER GRAB.
http://www.self.com ^ | 03/12/2010 | Self

Posted on 03/12/2010 4:10:06 PM PST by KansasConservative1

We are the United STATES of America and it is about darn time that the STATES stand up to the power grab and centralization that is going on in the Federal Government. At a minimum, the Governors need to state that they will sue the Federal government if the bill is illegally passed through reconciliation or slaughter. Perhaps Texas should dust off the plans to divest from the union. If we cannot count on the integrity of the constitution to be upheld by the federal government, I expect the STATES to step up to the plate.

We need to take a long look at our statehouses and make sure they aren’t just as much of a problem first.

They won’t need to if they wait much longer. We The People will take matters into our own hands if Congress keeps on keepin’ on.

It is beyond silly to suggest the state of Texas divest from the union. I wish people would stop this. It makes us look like idiots. That is such a small amt of people who talk about that here. Most of us just cringe when any politician suggest such a thing.

We’re stronger as a whole nation and we’re stronger when we work together.

I guess there are wimps, even in Texas. You will always be the bitch of the feds with your attitude. “May your chains lay lightly upon you”....

Dude(ette?)

I completely understand your frustration, but take a deep breath. Those of us that understand, and I count you as one, need to go tactical. Think Chess as opposed to mumdeledepeg. The libs can’t. There are a LOT more of us than them. We just have to be smarter, and that’s not too hard. PM me if you want to talk strateegery...

That is not being a wimp. It is simply having common sense. In the governors race..no one..Perry or Hutchison or Medina were in favour of seceding from the Union. Nor is anyone in the office of the Republican Party of Texas. And these are not wimps by any stretch of the imagination. They just are not extremists.

You are living a dream. I’ve watched the Republic die for 40 years. It’s in its death throws. It’s over.

I am sorry you feel that way. And I disagree. Strongly. We are of two different opinions it seems.

Hey, we all want a way to end this nightmare. The problem we have is that nobody has the guts to stop this nightmare. Why, because it will take something that none of us ever imagined and only have read about in history books.

We now live in a Constitutional Dictatorship created by King Lincoln taken advantage of by the socialists.

Don't you reckon the reason for using such obviously underhanded tactics for the past year has been intended to provoke the Right Wing to insurrection.
