Will the South rise again?

When I was a young boy in Texas, on the playground, while other kids in other parts of the nation played "Cops and Robbers" or "Cowboys and Indians" we played "Union and Confederates."

I was always partial to the Union, since I was not a native Texan.

I think we are seeing a rumbling from the populist right over this liberal utopia that Obama thinks he has the mandate to create.

I think we are in for some choppy water.

No. I am Mike Waters.

It's one thing to come across these ideas in the usual places--but for heaven's sake, this is a sitting establishment Republican governor of a bell-weather state.

When you consider that the same thing is going on in several smaller states, you begin to scratch your head.

It's nothing new, Mike, not even from state executives.

These protests come and go, and all the while the FedGov oozes its control and influence slowly and surely into every uncovered place.

All three branches do it: the Prez, the Cong, and especially SCOTUS. The Warren Court; now that was the day when state executives invoked Calhounian state sovereignty. Yes sir, Govenah Wallace. Blocking the way. There were other examples too. Send in the Airborne!

If this makes you scratch your head, you'll be bald before you turn 40. Read about the National Bank and the Jacksonian era. Or the progressives during the early part of the 20th century. Our Federalism. Bless and preserve it. The endless tug of war between centralization and dispersion.

But the creeping blob is winning. And will win.

Unless the people do something about it.

Obama, Pelosi and their fellow socialists may be trying to push too much this time. An uprising of sort by those of us who are not of the elite left would be a good thing.

If - and I realize this is a very big if - this happens, I could very well see myself relocating to Texas.

Another one is ready to do the same. Funny these things are not being reported on.

Georgia Senate threatens dismantling of USA

7:02 am April 16, 2009, by Jay

It wasn’t quite the firing on Fort Sumter that launched the Civil War. But on April 1, your Georgia Senate did threaten by a vote of 43-1 to secede from and even disband the United States.

It was not an April Fool’s joke.

In fact, Senate Resolution 632 did a lot more than merely threaten to end this country. It stated that under the Constitution, the only crimes the federal government could prosecute were treason, piracy and slavery.

“Therefore, all acts of Congress which assume to create, define or punish [other] crimes … are altogether void, and of no force,” the Georgia Senate declared.

Mormons should have gone to Texas, instead of Utah, as Joseph Smith had originally planned.

*see Lyman Wight

I saw Lyman Wight's millstone in a small museum, where legend has it, after it was lost in a flood, he had a vision that led them to the exact sandbar and the exact place in the sandbar where it was buried.
