Arizona, Louisiana, and the Enemy of the States

By Rick Pearcey • May 29, 2010, 07:02 AM

"Cicero," the pen name of a military officer, writes at American Thinker:

The federal government appears to be becoming more a parasite than a protector to the several states that organized its creation. . . .

Louisiana and Arizona are suffering abuses and usurpations at the hand of a distant central government that cares not for the safety and happiness of their people, nor does it care to execute the few inconvenient responsibilities assigned to it in an inconvenient and forgotten Constitution. This is a distant central government indifferent to all matters beyond its own expansion and continued election, a government so engorged that it cannot move with alacrity or decisiveness.

Arizona and Louisiana may find themselves at the spearhead of movements by many states -- states fighting the health care mandate, states fighting federal confiscation and retention of land, states fighting EPA carbon regulation, states grappling with their own immigration problems, states starting to realize that "help" from Washington is anything but helpful, states that may start to realize that taking matters into their own hands may be only means left for securing the Republic and preserving liberty.
