I heard Beck bloviating on how great TX is and how great their nullification efforts are and that this is the way to fight, not sign petitions and let the govt know who we are (that latter part debunked well by Weisshaupt above)...God Bless him he does a good job on educating people and gets it 90-95% right, but that other 5-10% will get people killed! He still thinks there is a country that will survive, that nice will suffice and violence isn't inevitable...drives me freakin' nuts with that shyt!
ETA - Here he is...
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/heres-why-glenn-beck-says-to-stop-all-those-secession-petitions-are-you-out-of-your-mind/Discard the "don't sign the petition" nonsense, the rest is vintage Beck trying to have it both ways.
First, assuming you are right Mr. Beck and the Feds come after you once they learn who you are by signing this petition...how does this NOT lead to Civil War?
Second, secession is
settled...OK, lets say you are (like Scalia) right again (see link below)...then why if Obama is not as bad as you fear, which you state above, is there any cause for harm or fear? You say the Constitution is not a suicide pact but then agree that it has become that since secession has been romoved from the realm of the possible, so your answer is...no to Civil War, no to violence of any sort but blind faith in people to be nice and do the right thing in the end?
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/there-is-no-right-to-secede-see-the-letter-where-justice-scalia-shoots-down-idea-of-leaving-the-union/Third, you say "“If the government begins arming itself against the citizens at the federal level, and say ‘by the way, we’re your new state police,’ that would indeed be the point in the course of human events where it becomes necessary to dissolve political bands,"...umm, you think we are not there already?
And lastly - You say " 'secession is not an option,' and so it is up to you to contact your governor, find out what your kids are learning, and change the media. Because the next step isn’t going to be easy."...Really?
What if my Governor is a complete statist asshat like Obama? Same for the entire legislature! Don't you know what our kids are learning? You think the public schools can be reformed before the crap hits the fan? You think you have time to change the media?! Hilarious! You back on the sauce? The next step will not be easy, you got that right, but you got a lot wrong about what to do about it!
PS-Pull those stupid "food insurance" commercials, they are embarassing! The best food insurance is your own food!
Idiot!
