In the interest of full disclsoure it should be noted that Vince Leibowitz and his publication Capitol Annnex are shills for the Democratic party. (particulalry ultra left and liberal).

Pegasus News readers should know that Leibowtiz is as extreme as they come in Texas Democratic politics.

It is sad to see that people like this exist now a days ..

Has anybody had a chance to realize that the Federal Government is about to take everybody's Freedom and the few God given rights that we have left ?

The Globalists and their banks have taken over the Federal Government. The NWO is at the seat, and it will take an army to get them off their horse.

This Economy was completely fabricated by the Elite to get their "New World Order" realized.

Please Watch "Wake Up Call" "Money Masters" and "2012 NWO Agenda" by doing a google search and see what is really going on in the world. Wake up from the american dream to realize that we are on the last stretch to the bottom.

I would expect the average citizen to not know what is going on, but he has no excuse.

I am sick and tired of people not noticing what is going on in the world around them, especially newsmen ...

Vince Wake the Hell up, you are sleeping at the wheel, you are useless to us like that. We have enough useless commentary from all the other networks that are completely biased because they are owned by the same Elite we are trying to defeat.

inform yourself. Get the facts and prepare yourself for the biggest "Movie Plot" turned reality.

Brace for Impact America.

please go to http://infowars.com to see how ignorant you are of the current situation we are in.

The author of this article is either incredibly ignorant and uninformed, or just a plain fascist. Sadly, probably the latter as he seems to believe in federal government terrorism.

As for the content of this proposal, it essentially boils down to these Repubs being two faced as usual..

Want less government, but they still want to be on the federal dole.

The writer is a fascist? That's quite a leap.

It always strikes me as odd that people believe that the entire world could ever actually embrace one rule. It’s laughable actually, when most countries, including the U.S., can barely maintain any semblance of unity.

Yeah, don't you remember those kooky staffers who were all up in Ron Paul's grill?

Maybe PegNews should take a political stance, one for liberty and freedom. I know that a lot of people out there have a hard time believing that the Federal Government is not looking out for the best interests of the American people, but the truth is that they are trying to gain complete control over our lives. Don't believe it, just do the research, the answers are there.

Too much government is bad government.

Ron Paul is one of the few out there speaking the truth.

I believe that the Constitution is our weapon against tyranny.

And 29 states have now joined the fight for the 10th Amendment.

The democratics in texas, especially the so called "progressive" and liberal wings, as represented by people like Leibowitz, don't want Texans to have the right to place citizen initiatives on ballots and let Texans decide critical issues of government spending, taxation, etc., by voting.

They (Democrats) want tyranny of the minority.

Well I guess that 25 other states and growing must be crazy too. (7 have already passed this or similar Resolutions)

Based on your op-ed, you KNOW that the Federal government has overstepped The Constitution. However, you WANT your Unconstitutional socialist programs.

Well some of us are sick and tired of watching our country fall far from the intent of our founding fathers.

While I agree that a resolution is not a law, it sends a message that we are "mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore"

You know what gets me the most, if you do not favor this Resolution, then you are AGAINST what our country was founded on..........

That is Un-American in my book.

Pizzagod apparently didn't actually read what the article said or what the resolution says either.

I most certainly did. I disagree with the authors view. I don't think this is frivolous legislation, in fact I think it is rather important.

The Federal Government passes laws like "No Child Left Behind" or the "Read ID" or even the drinking age laws and speed limit laws down the States throats by not funding them and telling the states they will not get other federal funding if they don't follow these Acts.

Even in the so called "Stimulus" bill, the Federal government is forcing states to match funds, then in 2 years, the money drys up. What is the state suppose to do??? end the program like SChip or Medicare???? (or at least drastically reduce these and other programs)

BTW, most of those types of bill end around September of 2010, 2 months before the election. Why do you think they did that????

I for one, have had it with our federal government.

Vinces "most far-right member" Leo Burman just happens to be one of my favorite Texas legislative members. My hope is that he runs for Governor in 2010 as he is looking into it.

I am not a Fan of Gov Perry, however his recent "renewed" Reaganism does make me happy. (although I don't believe him)

PizzaGod needs to be given a lesson in civics. There is nothing unconstitutional about socialism. The US Constitution does not mention capitalism or any other economic system. What is he talking about?

Pizzagod...yes it is frivolous legislation because it does nothing. Until these legislators actually start refusing all federal funding (and I mean not accepting one single dime), any talk of sovereignty is just that....talk with no principles or guts behind it.

Let the Legislators not accept one dime of federal highway money, scholarship money (including Pell grants, government loans for students), etc....then I'll think of them as more than politicians throwing out empty declarations to unthinking masses.

A lot of Kool-Aid drinkers have been exposed here believing that the gubment will make everything okie-dokie and buying into what this author substitutes for real journalism. You should get a job in a pharmaceutical company, you'd fit right in. It is amazing how comfortable it can become for someone to try to sell snake oil from the safety of a bully pulpit (byline) isn't it?

There they have found a haven in the arms of high-minded intellectuals that will argue the merits of the grammar employed by any dissenting viewpoint rather than considering whether proposed alternative views might actually contain any logic.

No, it is much safer to let the warm liquid slide down their throat as they close their unreasoning eyes in a submissive slumber.

When you wake up, do not forget to thank the dissenting view for ensuring you were free to wake up at all and that when you did, that you didn't wake up in the United Communist States of America. Oh wait, that possibility is just too 'kooky'.

I'm glad our founding fathers didn't feel that way.

Clay213: Good points. Nutbags, bad grammar, funny picture: all spot on. It's true that Republican leadership is mostly globalist and only occasionally nod to fiscal responsibility when not in power.

In some people's little fictional world, there are only Democrats and Republicans. Republicans support Bush and the Iraq war. Democrats support Obama and oppose only Bush's main war apparently (I'm still confused on that one). I suspect most of the people you are arguing with are outside of that limited paradigm. Republican and Democrat Presidencies and Congresses have been increasing the centralization of our government decade after decade by anyone's standards. Regardless of political party affiliation, many people are opposed to this slow revolution towards an all-powerful centralized state if they think about it. What do liberals that cherish civil liberties think of this process? How can the federal government be all-powerful, admittedly spying on citizens, torturing, bringing troops inland to control the US population and not interfere with free speech? What do the conservatives that cherish economic freedom and self defense think of this process? How is a lawless, bureaucracy-driven government going to protect these freedoms? You see, no one should really support the enabling of tyranny, but we're in this mindless bicker year after year, flip flopping and accomplishing nothing. If you can break out of that, we could all stop this easily together.

It's okay to see the reality that neither Bush nor Obama so far has been good for America.

If you don't understand this, I am sure with just a little research you should understand. You are either pretending to be stupid or are so scared that you are using the alinsky method of ridicule of your foe to try to discredit him. Well, it won't work because your 'foe' is not those congressmen but an idea. An idea of independence that Texans understand. You, sir, need to just get out of the way or move.
