"Apparently he can’t think of a single reason that nullification should be used by states or local governing bodies."
Herein lies the problem, they don't think, or they can't think. They are TOLD what to think instead of doing it for themselves. Some of these talking heads and politicians have probably never had and original thought in their entire lives.
@LindaTucker @Patrick Henry I actually bought one of these Linda. It's much cheaper.

He's a troll my friend. A condescending, pompous jerk who used to go by the name of gypsynovus here. I guess he got tired of people ignoring him and changed his username. Pay him no attention!
@RedTulie Something else that bears mentioning is that I don't trust ANY govt. There's state and local govts. that are just as corrupt as Leviathan. The difference is that if we start forming smaller confederations, it'll be easier to manage. I ask people this question, which of your elected representatives are more responsive to you. The ones that are hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Or the city/county commissioner or mayor that may possibly live right down the road from you. It's about size and scale folks, we're completely out of scale. This beast has gotten WAY too big!
@RedTulie That's EXACTLY what needs to start happening. I'll be the first one to raise a glass of ale to all of you when it does.
@Jdangiel I know what nullification is and I agree that the states should start asserting their 10th amendment right and start telling the feds to go pound sand. But someone please show me an example of where it's happening. Like I said, the states are like welfare recipients. They're on the dole too, and that's all Uncle Scam has to do is threaten their medicaid or highway funds and they fall on their knees and start begging.
I brought this up a while back because I remember it like it was yesterday. Louisiana was the last state in the union to raise the drinking age to 21 and they weren't going to. Well, the feds stepped in and said that they didn't have to comply. But we're going to withhold your federal highway funds until you do. Guess what the legal drinking age is in LA now!
@dmellon Well I hope you're right, but you don't have to go back very far to see what kind of influence fedzilla has on the states. Obamacare and Arizona's SB 1070 are 2 recent examples.. They will threaten to withhold medicare or highway funds and it'll be over, watch and see!
While I applaud WY for doing this, I can go ahead and tell you what's going to happen if it passes. Our esteemed DOJ will challenge it in federal court and will be struck down. The question after that happens is what do the people and the WY state legislature do then? Someone please remind me what the benefit is to remaining in this American union.
5 years??? If it were up to me, they'd get the DEATH penalty!
Gotta love guys like Dr. Woods and Kevin Gutzman!
Hopefully, the south will rise again!
@WilliamSchooler He can't help it Mr. Schooler, he has this "limbic" thing going on inside his brain. Ask him about it if you really want to have a good laugh.
@WilliamSchooler Very well said Mr. Schooler, I've been saying the exact same thing for a very long time now. I am of the opinion that since the corruption is so widespread among the federal and state governments. We should probably start at the local level and work our way out. Personally, I would like to see smaller confederations, they would be much easier to manage IMHO.
@StephenSmith1 @Bob_In_Boston I think you're right about Governor Gardisil, he's another NWO stooge. It was a nice thought though. Who knows, if the state legislatures start getting enough blowback from this. It might at least get the conversation started in a few states. The way I have it figured is, if you're going to dream. Might as well dream BIG!!!
@StephenSmith1 Yep, Decepticon prime gave us numerous assaults on our liberties. These are the things that I keep trying to point out to people who think that electing a bunch of Republicans will solve all our problems.And then we'll all be able to sit around a campfire at camp david, sing kumbaya and the coke song, spot on Stephen!
@mlk12 I hear you loud and clear, I've experienced all of this too. That's why I've argued here that nullification while being a good remedy will most likely not happen anytime soon. Because the states are in on the scam too. They've been feeding at the federal trough as well and don't want to give up their piece of the pie. I think we've about come to the end of the party. I've done all I can do to try and educate people about what's going on.
But it's not enough, we're not going to have enough time. It's all going to have to crash and burn and then we need to hit the reset button and start all over again. "Forgive them Lord, they know not what they do"
@StephenSmith1 On second thought, after carefully reading the article. It seems that these are citizen generated petitions on the whitehouse.gov website. You can't even sign it without registering which will probably put me on another one leviathans hit lists. Dammit man, you got my hopes up, oh well, hope springs eternal!
@StephenSmith1 Probably the best news I've heard in my lifetime since I happen to live in one of these states... AMF!!!
@LloydThomasSloan @JamesP.Delaney @FL10thAmendment
I'll take it, Madison was a traitor as far as I'm concerned. He showed up to the ratification debates along with Hamilton with a plan that basically would have given us what we have now. A supreme national govt. He wrote in some of his notes that what America needed was a supreme dictator. He eventually came around, but if this is the guy you're holding up on a pedestal, I'll pass for sure!
@Michael Boldin Here's a little blurb about it in the New York Slimes. Like I said, this is how it's done with everything. That's why the states are afraid to stand up to Uncle Scam. They don't want to lose their spot at the trough.
