Thanks for the link. I'd imagine hussein has now painted a target on them and he now sees them as a threat to his destruction of our great nation. GOOOOOO Wyoming, hope others will follow. POWDERMAN.

Looks like Gibson Guitars and Amish farmers need to move to Wyoming.

I liked the suggestion at the bottom of the article. that libertarians should start concentrating on electing sherriffs.

Never happened....just another internet myth.

Big Horn county is next door to ours, and I never heard anything about it, Much as I would like it to be true, I expect it is a myth.

BILMAC. Can you find out, being that close?? It looked like a serious article to me. POWDERMAN.

It's a right wing blog. That should automatically say INVALID.

Can't vouch for the validity of the story as a whole but, the described powers of a duly elected Sheriff are Constitutionally correct.
If the story is true however you may never see any of it make national news without a serious liberal dose of lies.
You see if the public as a whole were to be informed and educated on Constitutional truths both the news media and most of our government would be in deep crapola. Add to that any sort of Constitutionally correct standing federal court rulings and, you have the makings of a revolution.

This should be the goal of all state and local elections. We will never have control of the federal government if we do not elect decent pro Constitution people at home.
The framers of the Constitution laid out the flow of power starting with the individual and flowing upward , not the other way around. With each tier of government holding less power and being responsible to the tier below it, the last and least is the federal government whos responsibilities and few and whos powers are limited. Now that you know these things you are considered a danger to "the current establishment and government for which it stands".

Jr, I just asked my brother, who happens to be the duly elected sheriff. Being the elected law enforcement officer of the highest rank within the county, he is the highest ranking law enforcment officer, bar none. Now often in a big case they cede jusrisdiction on a cse, but it is HIM who HAS to cede that jurisdiction.

Several blogs including Ron Paul.com are talking about it, and although the link is still active, it is still unverified.

It will remain unverified, because as two of us from Wyoming have already said "it never happened". Wyoming has a population of 500k or less and if something like that were to happen we'ld all be aware of it. This thing has been floating around for several years now, and each time it comes around it always ends up at the same point. NEVER Happened.

So if the IRS calls him in for an audit he tells them to get lost? Not!

BUGEYE · « **Reply #17 on:** September 05, 2011, 12:53:27 PM »

junior, use some common sense. he is top dog in the county but that does not give him the right to break laws. if he is investigated for a crime, he has no jurisdiction on that case.
and yes, he has to pay taxes.

billy_56081 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 05, 2011, 01:08:09 PM »

Bugeye, you have discovered the one thing it takes to be a liberal parasite "use some common sense". The parasite class has none, many of the liberal parasite class has went on to be highly educated, but education cannot fix stupid, that is the number one problem with America nowadays.

No common sense.

BUGEYE · « **Reply #19 on:** September 05, 2011, 01:16:09 PM »

billy, sometimes I have to just laugh at liberal posts. and you're right, they are totally lacking in common sense.

Ultra-conservatives can only read German, I suppose. From the article linked: “the duly elected sheriff of a county is the highest law enforcement official within a county and has law enforcement powers EXCEEDING that of any other state OR federal official.”
If that were true, then he could tell the IRS to go you know where.

junior, I just looked in the dictionary under "wild ideas" and there was your picture.
nobody is above the law. the sheriff wouldn't interfere with a federal case as long as the feds follow the law. by the same token the feds make a courtesy call on the sheriff when they enter his jurisdiction. stop and think...... the sheriff of dyer county Tenn was brought up on federal charges and convicted. but the feds in that case went thru the TBI of which my wifes niece is an agent.

edited to add, google sheriff tommy cribbs of dyer county tenn

Dee might be able to verify but when I was in the Sheriffs Academy in Tx we were told the oly Local LE that could Arrest a Sheriff was a Constable.. Dee Please correct me if I'am wrong. Also when the feds were in our county on business they always checked in so to speak.

you are right. when the DEA or FBI makes an arrest here, there's always some deputys with'em.
but I would like to hear Dee/Gone weigh in, I'm sure he would have a story or 2.

Yes, it was Junior's and made no sense as usual. BTW Junior, if that IRS Agent sped through the County, the Sheiff could give him a ticket & more if the IRS Agent resisted, so what.
