With the US Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Obamacare, nothing has changed as far as our relationship to Washington, DC. The Federal courts remain the sole power which defines the extent of Federal power. Naturally, the Feds decided in their own favour and upheld an expansion of their power. This is hardly surprising. The real shock would have been if they had decided against expanding their powers. What individual, if he were able to give himself more power, would not do so? Very few. Let us put the US Supreme Court’s decision in some historical context. This is the same court which has defined interstate commerce as virtually any activity an individual does. It’s the same court which took over our once locally-controlled school system. It’s the same court which upheld the extraordinary power grabs of the FDR and LBJ years. It’s the same court which has always been against us; nothing has changed in this respect.
What has changed is some people’s confidence in the system. It has taken a nose-dive. This is a very positive thing. Today is a golden opportunity to explain to people that the Feds are their enemy. When people express surprise or anger about the decision it’s an opportunity to make the point that the Feds are always against us and that as long as the Feds get to define their own powers we are going to continue to lose more freedoms, prosperity and security.
Hope in the Federal system is no hope at all. Despair in the system is the beginning of hope because it is a necessary step towards opposition. Opposition to the system is hope.

It has taken 150 years but America is now officially dead . . . the mercantilists and nationalists have done their work completely.
I propose a trade.
All Hatians leave Haiti and come to the USA. All Southern Nationalists go to Haiti. Let’s compare notes in five years and see who’s prosperous.
“Opposition to the system is hope.”
But under what form “opposition”? Surely not the rigged ballot-box. Refusal to comply with the tax? That adds penalty’s and fines. HOW do you oppose Fascism?
You oppose fascism with a rifle. A large caliber, high power rifle, and a lot of blood.
This is not really fascism, Rich. It is tyrannical though.
SouthernAtHeart, opposition can take many forms. The root of it is non-compliance though.
Sorry Michael, I don’t share your optimism. From what I can glean from the right wing blogs, people are either convinced that by voting Republican they can get the law overturned or (worse) they are contemplating how to use this new Federal power to their advantage.
Michael… right you are it is Tyranny! But of non-compliance, that sends the IRS to your door… then what???
As for voting, suggest people visit this website to learn about the electronic voting machines that are controlled by a company in Spain, which violate the Constitution’s requirements for voting: blackboxvoting.org. And then someone please explain “the electoral college” to me…. (insert graphic of head banging against a wall…)
I do not blame anyone group for the mess we are in. I prefer to set the blame on the following action or inactions by we the people of the Southern sovereign states:
1. Not living up to the standards our founding fathers set. By this I mean in order to keep the feds in check we should have been paying attention to what was being done, why it was being done, how it would affect the south. We relied too much on politicians to do that for us.
2. After the War for Southern Independence and reconstruction we did not monitor the new so called public education system for correct reporting of the truth about our endeavor to separate ourselves from the pending tyranny. It was easier to just lie down and die that to continue to fight the social/moral war.
3. The north has done an excellent job of denigrating and belittling us Southerners. We have not fought back as we should have for the past 150 yrs. We have allowed our Southern presses to be bought by yankee conglomerates thus removing our ability to tell our side of the story. The same applies to network television. How many local stations have you listened to where the news anchors have that beautiful Southern accent? I’ll bet not many.
Who is to blame for our situation? When you really analyze the whole situation it was us Southron who allowed our symbols of our heritage (i.e. the Battle Flag) to be co-opted by such groups as the KKK, Neo-Nazis, Skin Heads, and White Supremists and any other half-baked fringe lunatic element. We, all of us Southron, are to blame. We can no longer sit idly by and do nothing. The time for us to band together is now thru whatever Southern organization you wish to choose. But band together we must or we will become an extinct people and culture.

SR, what avatar are you talking about? I don’t follow what you mean.
“We have not fought back as we should have for the past 150 yrs. We have allowed our Southern presses to be bought by yankee conglomerates thus removing our ability to tell our side of the story.”
You should correct your statement and use a period more like 50 years. Southrons did, in fact, significantly regain control of their governance in the wake of Reconstruction through spirited resistance. Southrons bitterly fought the Civil Rights crusade in the 1950s and 1960s, but in the end were outnumbered and forced to comply by the US government. Then came the age of political correctness with new focus on anti-Southern, anti-White agendas foisted on our children in public education and the media/entertainment industries. Our people have been heavily demoralized for the last 50 years, but that age is coming to end. This unnatural cesspool of political correctness and multiculturalism is a house of cards just waiting to tumble down. As the younger generations of our people use the internet to get a more rounded view of history, natural law, and current events, they are starting to see through the false doctrine espoused by the religion of political correctness and its anti-Southern/anti-White objectives.
Jared – I agree with your points for the most part…the reason we should focus on the 150 years is because the so-called Reconstruction, or as I call it, the Re-destruction, is one of the main reasons blacks in this country have the animosity toward whites, particularly Southern Whites, shared by the Yankee occupiers who fostered and fomented this animosity. Many did not fall into the Yankee lies, especially former Black Confederate soldiers, however future generations were later brain-washed by Yankee educators. Animosity was not lost on the whites either, who were, rightly so, angry about the erosion of their liberties and the re-distribution of the rights and properties to the former slaves. This has all evolved (or devolved) into what we have now, with the so-called Civil Rights movement putting it all on steroids.
On my procile page is a picture that I wish to you in box to the.right of the post. When I uploaded it ro my profile page it says it was susubmitted and was waiting approval.
SR, thanks for pointing this out to me. I had no idea it was pending approval. At any rate, I approved it. I suppose it should begin appearing soon.
Thank you Michael
At least they didn’t further abuse the Commerce Clause to justify the mandate. That is actually something of a win, because it puts a limit on Congress’ ability to enact future social welfare laws solely under the fig leaf of Commerce Clause.
But, none of this is really surprising, given the fact that the Courts have consistently expanded the power of the federal government historically for decades. They gradually applied the Bill of Rights to the States one by one. Once that was in place, there was nothing to prevent the engorgement of Federal largess via the circular rule of Federal government: Government expands to meet the needs of expanding government.
