And of course since the growth of the federal government into regulating every aspect of human life, the states stand to lose even more of that largess if they fail to abide by federal laws.<br /><br />The checks and balances of power under our Constitution has long been a farce. Ever since it was illegally decided the U.S. Supreme Court was the sole arbiter of determining whether legislation was Constitutional or not, (there is nothing in the Constitution that granted it this power or authority) and particularly its ruling that a woman has a right to murder her own child through abortion (her liberty trumps the life of the child), the court has been legislating from the bench. Now, with Obama, he simply legislates by executive order and hires unelected and unaccountable czars to determine national priorities and policies.<br /><br />ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-24269859879785827052013-01-22T17:18:44.046-05:002013-01-22T17:18:44.046-05:00Daniel, I agree that not all small cities are immu...Daniel, I agree that not all small cities are immune but certainly are better places to live than large cities for lots of reasons, particularly that they normally do not have a majority of lunatic leftists.<br /><br />ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-56202856002523204312013-01-22T17:14:36.140-05:002013-01-22T17:14:36.140-05:00:( regarding the Buffalo inverted flag--it wouldn&...:( regarding the Buffalo inverted flag--it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it was real but not an act of the mayor who is a huge Obama supporter na doubtful he would think to raise an anarchist flag on inauguration day.<br /><br />I had my own private display of sadness at the sorry state of the city and I guess country in June when I posted this video. I dedicated to a friend, a reporter, who was basically run out of town for reporting on public corruption and arrested nine times by a shady councilman/cop, who was in turn arrested by the feds about a month before I made this very sad video about a city becoming a beautiful memorial to itself.<br /><br />Charges dropped in all cases of my friend due to insufficient evidence (mostly fabricated IMO).<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVyuVaDbhl4Keliatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413494251297514882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-55237142684642348232013-01-22T17:00:02.736-05:002013-01-22T17:00:02.736-05:00*their*theirKeliatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413494251297514882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-14209091073042194022013-01-22T16:03:44.219-05:002013-01-22T16:03:44.219-05:00I found this picture of Buffalo City Hall on the C...I found this picture of Buffalo City Hall on the Conservatives of a America Facebook page. There's debate as to whether it was a photoshop picture or not but the title is that Buffalo's mayor flips the flag on inauguration day.<br /><br />An inverted American flag flying atop Buffalo City Hall. This is one of the most corrupt cities in the US and the mayor...well, he fits in perfectly.<br /><br />So yeah, an inverted flag ontop of Buffalo City Hall. Um, that would symbolize Anarchism and a rejection of America, sort of like putting an update down postage stamp on a letter.<br /><br />Could be a photoshop job, idiots at city hall, the real deal with someone at city hall trying to send a message on inauguration day.<br /><br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/ConservativePatriotsofAmericaKeliatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413494251297514882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-52891141708092334802013-01-22T15:52:56.708-05:002013-01-22T15:52:56.708-05:00I also agree with Lemon.

We saw the White House where police stood behind us and people on the roof watched us with binoculars. Sirens went off constantly. I stumbled into a Muslim rally in front of the White House where several hundred of them screamed how peaceful they were. The entire experience didn't feel or look like America at all, to me. It was like a foreign country where the embassy was always worried about being attacked. There was no honor or respect for Washington, just heavily armed people making sure no one got out of line. Yesterday, where I live, two neighbors, a man and a woman, chased down a robbery suspect, who was caught because his pants kept falling down. That's the America I know. A small town where people protect each other and don't tolerate crime. I never got that feeling in Washington at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518677967627217789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-33088606598510936702013-01-22T09:13:43.572-05:002013-01-22T09:13:43.572-05:00Daniel, my admiration and gratitude as always, I j...Daniel, my admiration and gratitude as always, I just hope that your powerful vision and clarity will penetrate sufficient number of thick skulls of this nation in time.<br /><br />@mushroom <i>The solution is at the local level. We have to think of ourselves as living on desert islands of reality in a sea of insanity.</i><br /><br />Speaking of local level: <i>One of the progressives' most potent weapons of psychological warfare is the sheer omnipresence of their stratagems and their attendant propaganda. The would-be resister begins to feel overwhelmed by the seeming inescapability of the left's infinite tendrils. Finally, the feeling of being so completely overwhelmed causes paralysis in the conservative limbs, and then resignation, and then acquiescence. ... The paralysis is caused, in part, by the carefully cultivated sense that the progressive apparatus has become so big that it is now somewhat abstract. The contraption is so multifaceted that it is no longer always clear how the social and intellectual manipulation works in concrete, practical terms. This abstraction makes defending against it, let alone mounting a counterattack, much more difficult. ... <b>In truth, however, no real danger is abstract. If you want to view the concrete reality of today's political and media scene more clearly, just look at the case of a little radio show on a little radio station in a little town in the heart of Minnesota. There, in microcosm, is how civilization is dismantled.</b> The big time, national profile thugs -- Obama, Axelrod, Emanuel, Clinton(s), Bloomberg, the New York Times, et al -- are merely trying to stage-manage on a grand scale a process that is actually ongoing in your town, and every town, each and every day.</i> source: <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/01/killing_conservative_talk_radio_one_market_at_a_time.html" rel="nofollow">AT</a><br /><br />Daniel <a href="http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/conservative-talk-radio-show-in-minnesota-under-threat" rel="nofollow">wrote</a> about that little Minnesota radio station earlier, I hope the conversation will continue.<br />Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675076348134024844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-71859482802795535432013-01-22T09:05:17.375-05:002013-01-22T09:05:17.375-05:00"The solution is at the local level."

Theses laws of inevitability described in this brilliant essay is that government can't legislate a human being's behavior.
