Obama Democrats Declare War on States

Let’s establish right up front that not all Democrats are with Obama, and therefore, not all Democrats are on the wrong side of the fight for freedom, liberty and states’ rights. Former Marine and Constitutional Democrat Tim Curtis is running for Congress in the heavily Democratic 11th district in Florida, and because Tea Party and 912 folks still think it’s all about R’s and D’s, he has no real support from the so-called “constitutional” movement. What a real shame!

Meanwhile, Democrats in the Progressive Caucus and Black Caucus (aka Democratic Socialists of America) are fully on-board with Obama. But not all Democrats are on-board…

Obama and all who stand with him today - have openly declared war on the states and the American people and Obama & Co. plan to win that ideological war before the average American figures out that they are indeed at war with their federal government for the future of freedom.

The Tenth Amendment is under full frontal assault.  It states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." The term “enumerated powers” is no longer part of the legislative lexicon in Washington, DC. The Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the federal government openly attack Tenth Amendment rights on a daily basis. No ‘theories” are required as the daily assault on the states is now happening in broad daylight.

• Arizona – is under federal assault for attempting to uphold existing immigration laws within their sovereign state. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put Arizona on notice during a TV interview in Ecuador, announcing on foreign soil that Obama Democrats intend to stop Arizona from exercising its Tenth Amendment right to pass laws which protect and serve the citizens of Arizona. In addition, Obama has now ceded US land to Mexican drug lords. The same story is playing out in California and other places across the nation.
  
• New York – is under federal assault for attempting to avoid state bankruptcy by passing an emergency state budget that included the furlough of 100,000 state employees that New York can no longer afford. A federal judge stepped in to block the state passed and signed emergency budget effort. The reason stated by the judge was “the labor unions did not agree to the furloughs,” placing both the Fed and labor unions above the state’s right to balance its own budget and control its own financial condition.
  
• Federal Health Care bill – is a direct violation of Tenth Amendment rights and numerous states (20 at present) have joined a federal suit challenging Obama’s “enumerated power” to force national health care upon the states and the people. Obama Democrats are trying to force the court to drop the health care overhaul suit.
  
• Federal Agencies – tell the states that they have NO power against the Fed. According to Obama Democrats, federal laws trump state laws and even the U.S. Constitution. Their criminal and civil “rules of procedure” trump everything. On this basis, federal agencies repeatedly notify states that they have no states rights and that the Fed is not in any way limited to “enumerated powers.”
  
• The Gulf States – are dying from federal mishandling of the BP oil spill and they are being told that they are powerless and must rely solely upon Obama Democrats to save the gulf and protect their citizens. Arizona already knows how well that turns out…

Remember when Democrats refused to count Florida and Michigan delegate votes in the 2008 Democrat primaries, because the two states wanted to control their own primaries?

The list of full frontal assaults upon states rights is almost endless after eighteen months of Obammunism. Clearly, Obama Democrats are convinced that the Tenth Amendment no longer stands.

Those who beg to differ should follow the works of the Tenth Amendment Center.

Obama Democrats have not only declared war on the states – they have declared war on the vast majority of American citizens as well.

• The right to peacefully assemble is being prosecuted as a “riot” today.
  
• The right of peaceful redress is being denied on the basis of “no legal standing.”
  
• Second Amendment rights are being denied by federal laws and the BATF.
  
• A fundamental right to Life and Liberty is being denied on the basis of a single case precedent.
  
• The judiciary is creating laws and the legislature is failing in its fundamental duties.
  
• The White House is functioning like an absolute dictatorship at odds with more than 70% of the people.
  
• Citizens are being accused of “domestic terrorism” for demanding a return to constitutional government.
  
• Numerous judges have advised citizens that they have NO standing to question any of it.

The daily assaults on individual freedoms and liberties are coming so fast and furious at this point that the people can’t even keep count - much less provide a legitimate defense. Our system of self-governance has been replaced with an oligarchy made up of a handful of Chicago thugs and international global socialists.

An increasing number of citizens are living under fear of a contrived “state of emergency” followed by “martial law” as they watch ecological, financial and national security threats grow by the hour.

State legislatures are rushing to put Tenth Amendment and Second Amendment protections in place to protect their citizens from an increasing threat coming out of Washington DC on so many fronts that there is no way to defend against them all on a case-by-case basis.

If our federal government were operating within the confines of the U.S. Constitution, we wouldn’t even be having this discussion. Because it is not operating within the confines of the supreme law of this land, peaceful solutions are very difficult to identify.

Still, every effort must be made to find and use peaceful options before proceeding to much less attractive alternatives.

If we fail to succeed in finding peaceful solutions, violent solutions will become a natural consequence of that failure.

Nobody in their right mind “seeks” a violent solution. But as JFK once pointed out so well, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

If we the people allow every peaceful option to pass, we will find only violent options remain.

The left is counting on American patriots to let all peaceful solutions pass, either by way of apathy or misdirection. The left will do all they can to promote violent acts by patriots, which will only confirm the groundwork they have already set in place through the Southern Poverty Law Center, which labels every patriotic citizen a “potential domestic terrorist” in advance, strictly on the basis of upholding America’s founding principles and values. This group is writing federal policy for the Department of Homeland Security.

If we do not make peaceful solutions work, we will be left with only violent solutions. That’s where our opponents want us to end up. If we find ourselves with only violent solutions - then our opponents will have succeeded in their strategies.

We must properly identify and exploit all peaceful alternatives each and every day.

Today, this means pressing forward in the options presented in this piece. These situations present opportunities and smart folks will use these affronts to freedom and liberty to advance their cause for freedom and liberty.

Like Rahm Emanuel says – “Never let a good crisis go to waste!”

The US Military and US Citizens are in the same crisis today, “unlawful” Command from an unlawful administration. Together, they can solve the entire problem by not allowing these opportunities to pass.

Soldiers and citizens must stand together, with state legislatures providing a defense at the state lines. State legislators and governors must work together to put down a runaway Fed as well.

We the people must engage in real and tangible opportunities to reclaim control of our nation while we still can. We must not waste time and resources on initiatives that provide no verifiable results and no reasonable expectation for proper change.

Together, we the people can take our country back. To do so, we must focus upon that goal and stop wasting energy building political organizations that are just as easily corrupted as those we seek to defend against today.

Radio Talk Show host Dennis Prager got it exactly right in his recent speech at the University of Denver.  We can – and we must get it right. We have been the problem and now we must become the solution!
