Surely Jarrett is not stupid enough to send a bunch of BLM Forrest Rangers” down to Texas after Bunkerville. The humiliation in an out of control election year will be 100 times Bunkerville. These fed clowns this time will be walking back to where they came from with their camos pulled down around their ankles and their hands clasped over their heads.

There is not enough “employable” force IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to quell the anger of the American people this year. The ANGER is palpable in tens of millions of people. Unprecedented!

These are not “forrest Rangers”. I suspect they are Mercs who got hired to handle this.
Texas Nat Guard standing toe to toe with a Fed Agency would be very interesting.

Last night I was researching this very issue. The most famous case case of National Guard mobilization in federal/state conflict was desegregation. Governor Orval Faubus ordered the Arkansas Guard to "Preserve the Peace" by turning away the black students who were attempting to integrate into Little Rock's Central High School.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower reacted to this use of the Guard by federalizing the entire Arkansas National Guard and using it to protect the nine black students integrating Central High School.

In conclusion, if Perry mobilizes the Guard, Obama could just federalize it and order them down.

State control of the NG is minimal at best.

I would love to see states pass a law that no federal SWAT teams are allowed on their soil, except for FBI and then only by invitation and in cooperation with local law enforcement.

Ahh. All the Governor has to do is send a dozen Texas Rangers and the BLM will decide to back away. (of course the Rangers might us a few local rednecks as backup. hee hee hee)

He did not say activate the National Guard, he said activate the Texas State Guard. It is NOT the same thing.

And a candidate for Lt. Governor has already come out advocating an “enlargement” of the Texas State Guard (which cannot be nationalized by DC).

I think this is very good advice.

Our local transportation battalion was pretty active in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know Michigan didn’t pay to send them any more than we paid for the military aircraft at Selfridge ANG base north of Detroit.

Every conservative state needs an active, independent, fully armed military - now more than ever before.

Miller went further, calling on Texas Governor Rick Perry to mobilize the Texas State Guard

He did NOT say the National Guard as the title of the article states

The BFLM is currently a more accurate abbreviation of the BLM.

The BFLM is the abbreviation for the Bureau of FEUDAL Land Management.

Feudalism is what Europe was based on, and if it was good enough for Europe, then it is good enough for America!

Currently, the purpose of the BFLM is to provide land, free of charge, to the Commune-organized Obamanation to do with as the ruling Senate and Administration Feudal Lord Democrats see fit.

Predictions are that the cave-in Doormat Republican Leaders will, as usual, just huff and puff on TV, as required by the 2 year Congressional “No Fight Deal” that Ryan, Pelosi, Reid and Obama have forced them to sign.

Obama now knows in his smug arrogance that his “Obamanation Transformation of the United States of America” will continue unchallenged as long as Boehner and McConnell are kept in power as leaders in Congress.

“All ye lowly, collateral-damaged, Feudal Serfs bow to thine arrogant Feudal Democrat Lords!”

FORWARD!

Good! I'm sure Jorge Bush, who's running for TX Land Commissioner, will be the next to support this....NOT!

Looks like Perry would get the last laugh...

“State defense forces (SDFs) are military units that operate under the authority of a state government (commanded by the governor) but are distinct from the state’s National Guard forces and cannot be federalized.”

That’s why the “militia” bears no resemblance to the National Guard. The “militia” can’t be federalized.
