When will a governor of a state, any state, simply come out and say that henceforth the state nor its residents would comply with federal regulation the state and its citizens consider, through proper debate, unconstitutional?

The states are supposed to be nearly sovereign yet the Feds pretend they don’t exist or at least don’t matter much.

If half a dozen or more states simply started ignoring federal diktats what can the Feds do about it?

I’m sick of the “transformation” that is taking place and it’s obvious that the GOP isn’t going to do much about it except tell us that they only have one half of one third of federal power. How much of our liberties will remain before they have 1/2 of 2/3′s or more? We can’t drill, we can’t farm, we can’t build a pipeline, we can’t open factories (Boeing), we can’t take care of our own health insurance, we can’t enforce immigration laws,…what CAN we do?

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.” – Thomas Jefferson

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” – James Madison

No one loves the Inheritance Tax more than Archer Daniels Midland Corp. C’mon Mellancamp, write a song about them.

This sounds like a strike at Red State America and other conservative areas.

Didn’t even Soviet farms have more sense than this?

Obama is trying to industrialize farms. This is going to help drive up food prices and drive us into importing more food from Chna and Mexico.

2012 can't come fast enough. Is the next Civil War starting soon? I think so.

(Assuming the status quo is maintained next November*)

nobama will soon control all our health care.

nobama already controls all our schools.

If the EPA is not challenged, nobama will control all our energy.

Now nobama wants to control our food.

What’s next? What’s left?

* Lord, I hope not!

The GOP is useless and the DEMS are just plain dangerous.
