This is certainly a principled argument that speaks well of Stewart Rhodes and his approach to self-government at the local level.
In our system of things, the true power stays with
the individual who delegates to the county who delegates to the state who
delegates to the federal government.
Not the other way around.
It is true that the local people have got to have
the cajones to take a stand and until they do, you can lead a horse to water,
but can't make him drink.
You can prove that their property rights are being
violated by thugs----commercial mercenaries acting under color of law----and you
can offer to stand with them, but until they find the courage and conviction to
free themselves, nobody else can do that for them. All that is perfectly
true.
However, there is a bone to pick with the
Oathkeepers as an organization and with Stewart Rhodes; I have already picked it
once and I shall pick it again. It does not remain for any one small group of
people to determine whether our Constitution and our Law of the Land is
respected or not.
That kind of thinking leads to "sanctuary cities"
and armed bands of thugs holding mountain passes and robbing travelers while
claiming that is okay because that is the "law" of Harney County.
