My ancestors and I agreed to the sovereignty of the several states, not of their federation. It would not be rebellion to fight against the feds for the rights of the states, it would be duty.
Times change but principles don’t. My forebearers wore blue, I suspect largely due to living in New York as opposed to say Alabama.still, slavery was ans is an abomination. During my six decades I have repeatedly heard defenders of the South invoke the conditions of northern factory workers in defense and suspect some of it is true. The power of the Fed Gov was not as onerous in the 1920s and 30s and the corruption of states like Louisiana under Huey Long probably helped the Fed Gov increase it’s power as it was easier to reign in Long and others “from above”. So in that instance perhaps what the Fed Gov did was “the right thing”. Retrospectively it might have been preferable that the citizens of the states address state corruption as their failure led to the precedent that “someone else would do it”. I keep harping on this because those who want the states to reign in Fedzilla are forgetting this history. The Huey Longs and Tamany Halls. Again, in needs to be the people themselves. The “ballot box” is clearly broken through libtard fraud. The soap box has been emasculated by super sensitivity to the accusation of “racist” carelessly thrown by the libtards at everything that breathes. Maybe some of you know of other boxes in the sequence but as I recall the ammo box is next. This is why Bundy becomes so important. The libtards have “won” at the polls and in the media. They know they can’t win armed rebellion and so have to avoid it at all cost. I am not and have never been a violent man. I have spent too many hours in the OR dealing with the results of violence and had to talk to too many families of loved ones to pretend I don’t know the cost. Like all Risk Management one must also weigh the cost of acquiescence. Or, succinctly, live on your feet or die on your knees.
