STATES RIGHTS
Before we start today butchering another sacred cow, I would just like to throw out a link for you. This is basically the same thing I'm saying, how energy decreases are the coup de grace for our economy. When I say it I'm full of crap and ignorant. When an author that didn't self publish says it you all nod your heads wisely like you knew all along what a wonderful argument it was. http://www.kunstler.com/mags_diary25.html

If you could paint a picture of the recent articles on states passing laws strengthening gun ownership ( essentially allowing home grown guns exemption from federal laws as long as they stay local ) it would most likely involve a bunch of flag waving, the statue of liberty, portraits of our founding fathers and perhaps even apple pie and a Chevrolet. Everyone is getting hard nipples and moist crotches over this development. If I wasn't such a bastard, if I didn't enjoy pointing out the flaws in emotionalism over rational thinking, I wouldn't want to tell you that you might as well save your excitement. As in, don't get too happy because you'll just be disappointed. Kind of like all these folks mistakenly thinking they can retire and enjoy life soon. They might have promised you a pension, but they strongly implied that if I went to school, worked hard, paid taxes and obeyed all laws I wouldn't end up in a cannibals stew pot in a radioactive craphole that used to be this country. They lied to both of us.

If you would like solid proof of how much the Federales think about states rights, please turn to exhibit A. California medical marijuana. Even while in solid compliance with state law, operators of those clinics were harassed by the Feds. A recent announcement claimed that the Feds would only intervene if Fed law was breached, but we all know how the definition of "is" can be manipulated. The only thing the states are allowed to do is to determine the severity of punishment, not actually whether something can be legal or not. Even recent firearms victories are little more than telling states not to be too heavy handed- such as telling DC it can't ban pistols totally ( if just a few politically connected individuals are granted licences than the guns haven't been banned, just regulated ).

The Feds stole their power fair and square from the states by throwing recent immigrants into battle as cannon fodder and they are not about to give up those gains. The illusion of states rights reminds me of the "fight" between Democrats and Republicans. It is all an illusion. There is no substance behind it. Oh, the fight is real enough, the combatants might actually believe, but in the end nothing is allowed to change. It is really pretty simple. Might makes right. As long as the states are not allowed to have any real power ( what do you think Fed control of the reserves is about? ) they will remain mere bitches. They can huff and puff as much as they like, make all the noise they want. That is part of the illusion of democracy. But they won't be allowed to step out of line. The feds will go along with whatever grandstanding there is until it stands in their way. Then it will be forcibly removed. The local LEO's stand behind their state, apply local law and either the Feds take jurisdiction or they deputize the deputies. The Supreme Court sanctioned the theft of the presidency, you can be sure they will sanction the Federales to do as they wish regardless of state laws.

So don't get all hot and bothered over any new state laws contesting the Federal Police States Of America. It is either hot air getting a local politician elected or it is a futile gesture. Only when our society has collapsed enough that the Fed loses control of the states will the states be free to govern as they wish ( and don't forget of the possibility of state politicians being bought to trade your life for continued affiliation with the Feds ). Until blood is shed there will be no power given up at the Federal level. Pieces of paper by politicians are good for wiping your bum with and little else.

Because I know a few of you will have your head half way up your bum ( speaking of bums ), allow me to be as clear as I can. I support states rights. I wish the Feds had a lot less power and taxing authority. I also don't feel it is worth fighting over. The central state will devolve with the oil supply. We just need to keep out of the way of its destruction and enjoy the aftermath. I am not militia, but a survivor. Macho gets you killed. That does not preclude revenge of course. As long as my family is not targeted I'll let the idiots have at each other ( and, no, fighting does not protect your family from future threats as they will be used as pawns to control you now ). Wishing for something such as state supremacy does not mean you should trick yourself into thinking it is currently possible.
