Ah yes well Pace Picante chunky salsa is sold and advertised nation wide except perhaps in NYC. The discussion in the ad is where was your salsa made. Then in loud disbelieving horrified you got to be kidding me tones the reponse to the answer is New YORK CiiiTEEEE? It's the best salsa made north of the border....Add is kind of like the beer commercials for Henry Weinhardt Private Reserve beer out West. featuring the non existent Oregon Border Customs, Immigration and border patrol ...back when it was Oregon instead of New Amsterdam.

Hmmm curious. I've been to NYC and view it in the opposite way as a counterpoint to a Pace Picante commercial and little else. I've been upstate and found them in many ways to regular flyover country type Americans who sort of shrug apologetically when reminded of NYC. On balance I have to agree with Pace Picante for defining the situation as well as they did.

Of course you are just repeating history again. nothing new there. Federal once the constitution was put into effect covered only State Militias by the provisions, primarily, of the President being Commander-In-Chief IF the State Militias were mobiilized and by the duty of Congress to make regulations governing the entirety of the 13 States 13 Militias into one 'like' group. The federal rights granted went no further.

The States Rights granted went only as far as the citizens of each state granted rights to the Sates or states and that did not include necessary an automatic extension to the Federal government. The rest was and is tnone of the governments business.

The Federal and the State Governments too as far As I know never the power to giver rights to the people. It's the other way around. Rights Not Specifically Granted do not exist. No matter how much fascist swine like Obama and his immediate predecessors and would be successors wish differently. That includes the military swearing allegiance to the President or the country as a whole instead of to and limited to the Constitution.

It didn't lean that way at all simply because they had no right to grant rights. The whole line of thinking is false on it's face and useful only to the left wing fascists we're not stuck with for a while.

For sure the military knows it...whether they follow their oath of office or not is another question. But if not they are personally liable for the consequences.

The whole discussion is moot while the Constitution itself is in question and not being held as the center of national politics by the leftists, Rinos to Progressives inclusive. It's just a discussion of history....until that question and it is a question at this point is underway.

So. Cut the extraneous BS and get to the real question. What law of the land is currently and legally in force? Patriot Act or Constitution? Executive Orders or Constitution? Which will law enforcement and even more important the military support? No question which one DOHS is supporting and it isn't the Constitution.

Worth more than one thumbs up.
