States Beginning to Resist messiah

Contrary to what the Legion of Doom would have us believe, not everyone is just duckie with the messiah’s expansion of federal powers.  Case in point, Montana.  The state government there has passed an interesting law, as discussed here.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer has signed into law a bill that aims to exempt Montana-made guns from federal regulation, adding firepower to a battery of legislative efforts to assert states’ rights across the nation.

“It’s a gun bill, but it’s another way of demonstrating the sovereignty of the state of Montana,” Democrat Schweitzer said.

Since the law applies only to those guns that are made and kept in Montana, its impact is limited. The state is home to just a handful of specialty gun makers, known for recreating rifles used to settle the West, and most of their customers are out-of-state.

Doesn’t sound like much, does it?  But the true potential of this law is a significant threat to the messiah SPENDULUS MAXIMUS and his plans.

Along with the gun bill, Montana legislators are considering a resolution that affirms the 10th Amendment principle that the federal government only has those powers that are specifically given to it by the U.S. Constitution.

Its supporters next plan to find a “squeaky clean” Montanan who wants to send a note to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives threatening to build and sell about 20 rifles without federal dealership licensing. If the ATF says it’s illegal, the gun bill’s backers plan to file a lawsuit in federal court with the goal of launching a legal showdown that lands in the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Montana Shooting Sports Association, which drafted the bill, has said it will raise the money to pay for any legal costs.

Hey libtards, how does it feel when the tables are turned?  Remember that 10th Amendment?  It may just rise from the dead!  The messiah thought he killed it, I guess the postmortem was premature!

“The whole goal is to awaken the people so that we can return to a properly grounded republic,” Rep. Michael More, R-Gallatin Gateway and the Montana resolution’s sponsor, said at a House committee hearing Wednesday.

As many as fifteen other Legislatures have also been mulling resolutions that buck federal control in states such as New Hampshire, South Carolina, Missouri and Oklahoma.

“The balance has swung far to the extreme to the empowerment of the federal government, and to the harm of the individual states,” More said.

APPLAUDS!!!!

Now, what do the libtards have to say?  Well, let’s just say it’s predictable and…liberal.

Opponents of the state sovereignty bids, however, warn they could give legitimacy to the kind of anti-government ideas that fueled the militia movement in Montana and elsewhere.

“When you really actually get in and look at it there is a lot of what we feel is very dangerous, very anti-government language that reads very similar to posters for the militia movement in the 1990s,” said Travis McAdam, the interim director of the Montana Human Rights Network, a group formed to oppose racism and extremism.

CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE TRANSLATION: Don’t discuss the law, or it’s merits.  Just paint anyone who supports this as a radical.  When the Legion of Doom cover it, they’ll put a picture of Timothy McVeigh on the screen!

One of the few state Senators who voted against the gun bill – Sen. Christine Kaufmann, D-Helena – is that group’s director when the Legislature is not in session. She ties the bills’ proliferation to fears about the Democratic administration of President Barack Obama and stimulus spending.

“I do think that there is a kind of renewed vehemence to this kind of right-wing rhetoric being spewed by conservative talk show hosts to rile the troops and they are using the fact that we have a Democratic, black president as one of their rallying calls,” Kaufmann said.

CALL IT SOMETHING ELSE TRANSLATION: We have nothing to stand on here, so we’ll just go to our standard defense; accuse our opponents of racism!   Let’s blame talk radio too, that way the sheeple will think it’s a great idea when we eliminate their freedom of speech.

So, some lines are being drawn.  Next, we’ll get to see if the libtards can fight this out on multiple fronts.  How many lawyers and investigators can they afford to try to get dirt on every mayor, legislator or governor that supports these bills?  Do they have enough cash to smear all of them in every local and state election, and still pay for the propaganda for the midterm elections?  Does Moveon, ACORN, and the other communist fronts have enough minion-power to infiltrate every organization,  infiltrate the upcoming tea parties, and do rent-a-mob whenever the libtards call?    It’ll be interesting to see.
