Don't see a hole lot of difference between this and forcing us to buy health insurance and pay for those who can't. Just one more load of crap that we are going to sit back and let happen.

Exactly, now that there is precident we can expect this sort of crap to continue.

Have you all considered becoming active in supporting and spreading information found at the Tenth Amendment Center. It's a viable option with historical precedent. It's non-violent, doesn't require secession and it works provided we elect governors and state senators/representatives with backbone who are willing to say on our behalf to the federal government, "NO".

You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s decision of 1954 outlawing segregation in public schools, at first glance it may seem paradoxical for us consciously to break laws. One may ask, “How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?” The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with Saint Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.” –Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ”Letter from Birmingham Jail” April 16, 1963

Commerce Clause

I think this was a tongue in cheek reference to the Obamacare debacle.

Saw this at the bottom of the NSC piece:

And the WND "article" is a quote of the first part of the NSC piece. I don't see anything new about this at either site.

Much too simple an answer. Again, most folks seem to forget that Article 1, Section 8 is a list of finite, limited powers granted to the federal government by the states to address issues that affected the confederation as whole.

Have you read Wickard and Raich? I agree with you in principle, but the high Court--which appears to have been smoking the good stuff--has decided that even backyard, never-crosses-property-lines activity constitutes "interstate commerce."

Saw that too, but right below the date it reads: "now that Barack Obama has been reelected, he's going to push harder than ever to seize private retirement accounts...."

Obama Begins Push for New National Retirement System

A recent hearing sponsored by the Treasury and Labor Departments marked the beginning of the Obama Administration’s effort to nationalize the nation’s pension system and to eliminate private retirement accounts including IRA’s and 401k plans, NSC is warning.

That first one doesn't look real friendly to me.
I wonder if eliminate includes seize?

F*ck Obama!

Maybe because the cost of living has gone up and people can't afford to put money in their retirement?

You can never afford to put money in your retirement. You just do it because you can't afford not to.
