If are local level officials wont due stand up to the fed its a citizens duty to do so and yeah we are the minute men

so props to Kansas Governor thumbs up

7papa7 • 10 years ago

I am from Kansas and most of the sheriffs in the state said they will NOT enforce any gun grabbing anti Constitution law. Now our governor has made it OK for law enforcement to ignore any anti Constitution federal laws. We the people are proud of you on this Gov. Brownback. Way to go.

newyorker • 10 years ago

great, and good for Brownback. stay strong folks

7papa7 • 10 years ago

Don't have a choice. You don't prevail by being weak and this is one battle we can NOT afford to lose.

podunk1 • 10 years ago

Right as right gets... the weak always fail, & we're having our nose rubbed in it daily! Brownback is a patriot in the true sense of the word. We have a few in the House, but until truth trumps scorn, we lose!

Legislators have a sick sense of honoring office - to the point they will not attack, scorn, and remove rats like Holder who desecrate their oath of office and the honor of that office. He is obligated to enforce the letter of Constitution and laws as written, and prosecute any who violate them. How many times has he mocked immigration laws in the midst of law breakers; while aiding and abetting them in their criminal activity? Perverting, obstructing, and mocking election laws requiring citizenship to vote is a treasonous activity designed to overthrow Constitutional government! Holder is perhaps the most dangerous subversive in national history!

larrygrant876 • 10 years ago

you are trying to use our,(American legal system of law), accepted laws to judge obama and holders misbehavin but they are using a sociopath commie standards and why shouldn't they, no one is calling them on it.

podunk1 • 10 years ago

The crystal clear issue is "no one is calling them on it". It says it all!

We have a few who are coming close, but they still strike out. We've got to call a snake a snake & neutralize it on the spot.

It isn't about the "office of honor", it's about HONOR! Where there is none, GIVE NONE! It begins with asking if they took an oath, followed by demanding they recite it & then rip them apart - Holder, Napolitano, & Hillary were soooo vulnerable & "got away" because its not nice to stomp a snake.

Fed Up Grandma • 10 years ago

We are trying. We are definitely "calling them on it" but the pimps in DC are oblivious. However, I don't think any of those mamby pamby, panty waist dilettantes have any idea about what is going on in our country...and I'm not gonna tell them because it is a "surprise"... for their ignorance...LOL

lfhpueblo • 10 years ago

Yep, God says to stomp on a snakes head with your heel.

7papa7 • 10 years ago

You are absolutely right. He is an embarrassment to his office and to the United States.

Black Rain • 10 years ago

Be careful, holder plans on being the next president.

Joe • 10 years ago

No commies allowed.

wereallscrewed • 10 years ago

what ? President of cell block 7 ?

Twistedsis • 10 years ago

I don't think he has a chance

Phillip_in_TX • 10 years ago

Eric Holder would be very wise to have a plan "B" in place. That ain't going to happen! His next stop should be the Federal Bureau of Prisons, as an "inmate."

StarDust Dolittle • 10 years ago

Is there room in Kansas for me?

7papa7 • 10 years ago

Absolutely, come on down

Fed Up Grandma • 10 years ago

I sent him accolades yesterday...you guys are very lucky to have him...watch his back!

7papa7 • 10 years ago

I have also, the sad thing is that when a politician does the right thing that makes news because it is so rare. They prefer to not rock the boat and keep things as they are messed up. Most of KS does have his back.

joepotato • 10 years ago

The Fed tyrants are making a case to nullify the 10th amendment by setting a precedent. When peaceful revolution is made impossible, violent revolution becomes inevitable.

Fed Up Grandma • 10 years ago

Joe, they may just screw up so bad that we don't even have to go that far...they are losing and I think they know it...However, if they do push us to that point, I think we are more than ready...

Jenner • 10 years ago

MLK get a job with a newspaper as editor, if there are any left. God forbid anyone should make an error.

kibitzer3 • 10 years ago

Yes, Jenner; and, it is a symptom of the sort of fuzzy thinking that has gotten us into this mess as a nation. Proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar are all examples of a mind trained to look at details, and think clearly. American citizens have had huge defects in their education for years. Result: a breaking-down of the social order. Well done, those who have been able to overcome their educational handicap and still see the differences between right and wrong.

PierceArrowV12 • 10 years ago

Kibitzer3, you are right. Another reason that I hate postings with bad spelling and grammar is that those mistake-ridden postings may be the work of closet Democrat trolls who want to make people think that we conservatives are stupid.

kibitzer3 • 10 years ago

I've actually often wondered about that myself, PierceArrow. I can't tell you how many such gross errors I have found in conservative threads. And I don't want to waste my time in perusing liberals' sites & threads to see what the story is on that side of the aisle.

If I see one more it's when they mean its...... :-)

Richard Gibbard • 10 years ago

Kibitzer 3, where have you been? Someone has finally posted a good yet brief argument on the importance of proper spelling and grammar.

MLK • 10 years ago

I concede!

libssssuck • 10 years ago

Please try to use proper spelling and grammar. I agree with your sentiments, but the impression your words make are important too!

Fed Up Grandma • 10 years ago

Yes, FEDS, so you better decide which side of the 'line drawn in the sand' you are on. We, The People, are done and we have no doubts or reservations that We, The People, intend to take back our country post haste!!! Win or lose, it is your decision...

MLK • 10 years ago

How hard is it to proofread one sentence?

It makes me smile to hear the states are exercising their sovereign rights.

I'm happy they are standing up for us...

Down with the worthless pukes they call the king, no good pos

CrazyMountain • 10 years ago

And the one who stripped the State's of their power long before the 17th Amendment? Abraham Lincoln, considered by many the best President in our Country's history. And Governor Brownback is just embracing Jefferson's (and countless other scholars who became the Founders of the United States of America) Nullification Right's, which kept the Several States' Sovereignty in tact.

PierceArrowV12 • 10 years ago

Another Democrat troll bashing Lincoln? John Adams said that the Constitution was only good for a moral and religious people, and was inadequate for the government of any other. The Constitution was inadequate for the government of pro-slavery Democrats. While William Wilberforce and his Christian allies gradually abolished slavery in the British Empire, pro-slavery Democrats spent four decades prior to the Civil War expanding and worsening slavery in America by political trickery, intimidation, and violence.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder are the dishonest Democrat political descendents of the dishonest pro-slavery Democrats such as John Calhoun, Roger Taney, and Preston Brooks.

CrazyMountain • 10 years ago

I am a Conservative, not a Republican nor a Democrat. I suggest you read your American History from someone other than Howard Zinn. The Constitution only mentioned the importation of Slave's, ending the practice 20 years after ratification, but it didn't outlaw slavery. Abolition was hard fought before the Civil War and the States had every right, as they still do, to secede, as the Federal Government has broken every "compact" (as Jefferson called the contract with the States) that was in place as an agreement between a Colony, later Territories, between BOTH parties as a requirement for Statehood. The agrarian Southern States could not make a profit without the machinery that we have today and could not stay in business without a massive amount of cheap labor. The Northern Factories had horrid working conditions, long hours and low pay and didn't call their workers slaves, even though they might well have been, as their treatment by the Industrial Kings was just as bad. Slavery was an accommodation to the agrarian States in order for it to be ratified, just as the Bill of Rights was an accommodation to the States that had a Bill of Rights. Without either, the Constitution would never have been ratified. The fact of the matter is that the United States was a confederation of Several States, of, for and by the Constitution, not the people. I am not promoting Slavery, just stating fact.

PierceArrowV12 • 10 years ago

Crazymountain, I admit that I have NOT read Howard Zinn, and have NO desire to. I have read American history from many other sources, and my favorite books on early American history are the three written by Peter Marshall and David Manuel, "The Light and the Glory," "From Sea to Shining Sea," and "Sounding Forth the Trumpet." Give them a try. Also, read David Barton's "Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black and White," or watch the video version.
For the first years after the Constitution was ratified, the USA seemed to keep pace with Great Britain in gradually phasing out slavery. The Northwest Ordinance banned slavery in the new northern territories and subsequent states, and Congress outlawed the importation of slaves in 1808, the first year authorized by the Constitution. There were groups in both the North and South advocating the gradual abolition of slavery.
Unfortunately, for four decades prior to the Civil War, slavery in the USA resembles the Communist takeover of countries all over the world after World War II up until Ronald Reagan became POTUS, and pro-slavery Democrats were like the Communists. You are right that the agrarian South needed slave labor to prosper, just as the old USSR needed to plunder others' wealth in order to remain in power. When Reagan stood up to the USSR, it collapsed faster than anyone expected. The Democrats expanded slavery into new American territories as fanatically as Communists took over countries, using as much violence as they could get away with. Almost every plantation was like a Soviet Gulag prison camp for the slaves. The slave states in the Deep South became like Communist one-party (the DEMOCRAT party) states in practice, with abolitionists DENIED real freedom of speech or the press. Slaveowners who were more benevolent and kind were treated with increasing hostility and even violence by cruel slaveowners, in much the same way that Czechoslovakia's 1968 "Prague Spring" freedoms were ruthlessly eliminated by the Soviet military. After the extreme Fugitive Slave Act was passed in 1850, rogue "slave-catchers" ran amok in the free states like Soviet KGB agents, kidnapping every black person they could get their hands on, including black people who were BORN free in the North and had never been to a slave state. The Northern Democrats who supported slavery expansion, such as Stephen Douglas, had similarities to Alger Hiss, Edgar Snow, Henry Wallace, Jane Fonda, George McGovern, and other Communist sympathizers and appeasers. Harriet Beecher Stowe was the Alexandr Solzhenitsyn of her day, telling the real truth about the cruelty of slavery just as Solzhenitsyn told the real truth about the evil of the Soviet Union. During the Civil War, Democrat punks in Northern cities caused anti-war riots, in the same way Democrat hippies caused anti-war riots during the Vietnam War.
Moreover, the post-Civil-War KKK was a lot like the oppressive Communist thugs still in power in China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and elsewhere.

Sam Wicks Jr • 10 years ago

obamy and his followers are trying to amass an effort to take OUR rights given to us by our Fore Fathers to bear arms to keep the government from becoming the oppressor! The obama hoods are out to make this nation a communist society run by obamy and his followers.

Rachel Guess • 10 years ago

Ditto. And the 10th Amendment is enforcible by the 2nd. In fact that is one of it's primary functions.

donl • 10 years ago

We The People of America must stand up to this communist muslim regime every time they try to take a freedom from us. They are cowards in disguise. My hat is off for the Governor. We need more people like him.
