It is impossible to be against the NATUAL RIGHT of secession and for the Constitutional provisions of the 10th ammendment. It is intellectually impossible.

The Civil War decided nothing. Do you know why? It would have been easy to add an ammendment after the War of Northern Agression to do so. A simple ammendment stating " No states or states may secede from the United States and become autonomous at any time or for any reason".

I'll tell you why, because the North wants to be able to leave it they want to, if the South becomes to much of a burden...

Like I keep saying, F-ing Yankees couldn't even win correctly.

Yes we're all going to start taking intellectual lessons from you. Right after you tell us where the "NATURAL RIGHT of secession" is outlined. I'm aware of the natural right to rebel against tyranny and to throw off an oppressive government, replacing it with something better suited to the populace. But a NATURAL RIGHT of secession? That's a new one on me.

Why would I want to add an amendment taking away a right protected by the Constitution? Didn't prohibition teach you anything?

The North can leave at any time. So can the South. So long as it's done with the approval of a majority of the impacted parties.

Like I keep saying, F-ing Yankees couldn't even win correctly.

But the South sure did a good job of losing. And bitching about it for the next 145 years.
