The time is soon coming when all Americans must stand up for what they believe. Some will be patriots and martyrs and the other 80 % will be complacent followers quaking in their fear and acquiescing so to be ignored by authorities. The American lifestyle as we have known it is coming to an end. The blogs/news/rumors are just the gagging and choking of a society on its death bed. Wake up America, and see what you have created for yourselves.

I agree with your suggestion. If you think about the Overton Window approach, we should be thinking of the intermediate steps to our ultimate goal.

The problem is that we have allowed a philosophy that is anti-American to take hold; to take over a political party, and that must be remedied.

Socialism/communism are betrayals of America and her Constitution. We are a country to limited government and liberty.

Those who do not like it are free to relocate to all those countries outside the USA that are socialist. Let them embrace their socialism where it is in place. Leave us to ourselves.

Because that is what is going to happen. America is not going to rollover and give into this betrayal.

Instead of "Guard the Change" the new watchword in America will be "CHANGE THE GUARD".

The ONLY problem with our government and its Constitution is that people, who ARE the government, are lazy and are neglecting their responsibility to the Nation!

Get off the duff and do your part. Nullification IS the real deal, and will work if we give it a try. The Constitution is genius, and nothing less.

If CA and/or NY are bailed out, the tax bill for everyone will be huge. Any alleged excess contribution they have been making will quickly be overcome.

I, too, would like to see CA and NY tell the Feds to shove it now and go their own way before they drag everyone down. Good riddance!

Of course the Supreme Court is not the answer, they're just as corrupt and corporate owned as the rest of the government.

BTW, CA and NY both send more money to DC than they get back. It's the crappy 'red' states that suck more out of DC than they give. Would love for CA and NY to tell the Feds to shove it.

Good points.

I feel certain any official nullification action by a state would ultimately be shot down by the US Supreme Court. Enforcing it is another matter, as you suggest.

I think it's worth taking the shot across the bow of the feds to wake them up to the fact that they've got a major problem. We natives are getting restless and they are looking at big trouble if they keep ignoring the Constitution and its fundamental precepts.

While I agree that clarification of the commerce clause is needed, I fear TPTB would just switch to some other disingenuous argument to support their incessant power grabs. The 'general welfare' clauses come to mind.

Secession would get the same response from the US Supreme Court that nullification will get, I suspect. Just using the word opens the door for the racism charge regardless of the motives for secession.

I really like the idea of 'reverse secession' where the states that do not support the Constitution's ideals are shown the door! CA and NY, for example, are bankrupt and will be a MAJOR drain on the rest of the Union for a very long time. Dragging their sorry behinds around because they wanted to create the ultimate welfare states is not something I support.

Starting to think we might do well to create more "moderate" titles to lure people in to hearing us out before we move in to what is, from their perspective, "a radical solution".

They must first be convened its reasonable before they can be convened it's the most workable solution.

We got a lot of education work to do for a large section of America. Lets not get ahead of ourselfs an alienate an ignorant enemy, when we should be converting em.

Lets not go for the gold before we have built the foundation of knowledge and understanding among our population upon which we must stand in that race.

Good article thou.
