A crisis is brewing

 

  Link from The Liberty Daily: How Dare You Fight Back Against Communists!

  In my opinion, you have to ask what form of resistance can you take?  This is kind of a cold war of nerves.  The idea is to impress others of your cause.  You cannot just impose your will on someone without appearing to be a tyrant.

  Even in run-up to the Civil War, both sides were accusing each other of being the aggressor.  When opposing sides are saying opposite things, only one of them can be right.

  By the time the shooting starts, it may no longer matter.

  The one difference between the Civil War in the nineteenth century, and the possible one here is that one side is not necessarily trying to leave the Union.  But one side is definitely trying to nullify the law.  Nullification DID precede secession in the nineteenth century.  Will history repeat?

  John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, espoused a nullification theory on the subject of tariffs back then.  The comparable thing today is nullification of the immigration laws.  It would seem that precedent favors the enforcement of the laws. If the opponents to the law's enforcement continue with their resistance, at some point a decision will have to be made with respect to the use of force.

  We may be seeing that with Gov Walz calling out the Minnesota National Guard.

  Walz cannot win this unless something else happens to make that possible.

  This might not be as far-fetched as it would seem.  There seems to be a lot of push-back within the GOP lately.  Sides have to be taken.  There's really no middle ground here.
