I have long admired the Sagebrush Sheriffs. These are lawmen who believe in the Constitution and stand by it unabashedly. They have joined forces to take a stand against the overreach of big government. They are also known as the Constitutional Sheriffs and rightly so. They stand against things like bullying by the FDA, the BLM and by DHS. These are good men and women who believe in the letter of the law and in doing what is right. “The County Sheriff: America’s Last Hope,” was written by Richard Mack and published in 2009. In it, he argued that because sheriffs are the “last line of defense,” it’s their duty to protect individual liberties from being choked away by an out-of-control federal government. Mack was one of the prime leaders of a movement that later transformed into the “Tea Party.” I have been a proud member of the Tea Party since it began.
From the Conservative Tribune:
Local governments have been frustrated by President Barack Obama and his administration’s liberal policies that have crippled this great country.
One group of lawmen, known as the “Sagebrush Sheriffs” have decided that they won’t sit back and watch their country ruined. Instead, they have banded together to stand up to the big government that has tried to run them over.
The “Sagebrush Sheriffs” are also known as “constitutional sheriffs,” and they use their positions as the ultimate local law enforcement authorities to fight detrimental environmental regulation, run federal officials out of their counties, and, when necessary, break the law themselves, according to High Country News.

anyone who can read the constitution can decide for themselves. It was written so the common man could understand it, without the need for a lawyer or a supreme court of any kind. When you have those types 'explaining' the constitution, they are doing it to modify and subrogate it to their own means and need.
Nowadays there is an outright assault on the constitution to change or totally disregard it. Every good man knows in his heart what is right and what is not.
Federal power has been an over reach since Lincoln declared martial law on South Carolina, thus beginning the Civil War. Federal government is meant to protect the UNITED states against foreign enemies, not mandate and legislate the inner workings of the states. This is how the Constitution was originally designed. The POTUS is not a dictator nor ruler nor monarchy.
ReplyDeleteExample used by Levin in his book, Liberty & Tyranny:
If a state tries something like Obamacare and a citizen does not like it, he can move to another state; however, if the Federal government mandates something a citizen does not agree with, he has to find another COUNTRY. Much harder for people to do. Correct?
This is one of many reasons why legislature like Obamacare is wildly UN-constitutional and should be overturned.
States were guaranteed to have autonomy with the later exception of federal highway system and lands like in our case, Assateague Island, which did not exist during the time the Constitution was created.
