Message: <blockquote data-quote="ConstitutionCowboy" data-source="post: 3304461" data-attributes="member: 745">While this pending situation is not equivocal to the Athens, Tennessee, 'revolt' in 1946, it does show to lawmakers what a large segment of the population can do when you step on their rights, subvert the Constitution, and make them vulnerable to dictatorial despotic jackbooted rule. We have constitutions proscribed to prevent this sort of stuff, and when the constitutions are not abided, those constitutions support the ability of the citizenry to throw of such abhorrent governance. We the People reserve the right to cleanse the halls of government when those in those halls deign it upon themselves to assume superiority, and diminish the people into dutiful obedience. When that begins, it is time to take up arms and not surrender them, for when the people lack the means to uphold their rights, they are nothing more than villein.I don't care whether these legislators and governor intend to subjugate the people of Virginia or not, their acts and actions will make the people vulnerable to someone or some ones who will. That right there is just egregious as if they desired it for themselves. Woody</blockquote>
