Amen!
“i had a feeling the s would htf back in 2007, bought a fixer-upper sailboat and moved aboard...it was an ideal cheap home during the recession...but with current events i’m getting it ready to move...prob will make a decision about going expatriate later this year”
There are labels for those who leave the battle when facing attack.
That’s pretty much how I see it.

The left won’t let us leave because we are the ones made to pay for their stuff. They need us.
dang it, do I have to link it again??
I have a more detailed plan that does not require splitting up the USA. I wrote it many moons ago.

Eureka! I have formulated the perfect government
Remember that the Civil War did not bring it to an end.
*******************************************************
I can’t fault Lincoln for many of his actions ,,, and he may not have had a real choice in the matter as we had hit the tipping point on weak V. strong fed gov. ... but the civil war caused more problems than it solved , changing the US into a country dominated by the fed rather than independant republics and commonwealths working toward common goals ... The main benefit of the civil war ,, the end of slavery ,, was happening anyway because of innovation and mechanization... I think it would have occurred within 20 years of 1865 without a war.. The real tragedy was that the northern states maintained their punishing duties and taxes on the south and set us on our current path.
Who is John Gault?

The French cousin of John Galt.
if there’s really a revolution i’ll rethink it, but i doubt there be a revolution in this country now...maybe ever...people are too addicted to their comforts, their distractions, their lusts and chasing the almighty dollar
if George Washington shows, i’ll sign up...otherwise i am gone searching for my tagline
I love Walter.
It is my sincere wish he apply his extrordinary intellect and reasoning skills to a rational whereby
California, New York, Massachusets, and Wash DC connect via one of their famous highspeed green rail systems, secede, and leave the rest of us the heck alone.
Btt
Pray for peace, but do it sitting at a loading bench.
“A citizen may not be required to offer a ‘good and substantial reason’ why he should be permitted to exercise his rights. The right’s existence is all the reason he needs.”
— U.S. District Court Judge Benson E. Legg, in Woolard et al v. Sheridan et al.
And the first rights are those of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A very good question. Let it be said first and foremost in all debates on the subject that this country was founded on the principles of "liberty and a desire to be left alone."
If there's going to be a divorce the party who no longer wants to abide by the original contract should be the ones who packs their bags and hits the road.
We could split the country roughly along lines of red states and blue states.
And, what about everything from passports to citizenship to Social Security benefits to be paid? Would one become a citizen of a new country?
Do you folks anticipate America breaking up, along the lines of the old Soviet Union, into numerous other countries?
Would we all need passports to travel from one state to another?
I’m all for states rights and having more control of governmental functions at the state level. But there are many conservatives in liberal states such as California. Would all be compelled to move under such plans? What if somebody wants to live in California in spite of its liberalism?
I’m too old to run away. I’ll stand and fight.
” - - - - “A list of congressional violations of the letter and spirit of the Constitution is virtually without end.”
Once again Walter nails it!
That’s why I say the libs should just pack their bags and leave. They are the ones who don’t like our form of government. Progressives are the real anti-government radicals.
Post/thread BUMP!
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. (pick some...it’s easy)
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic. (expand on 2010...WOOHOO!)
live - free - republic - individual
The history and experience learned in the years since has only reenforced the idea that the left is never going to let us live in peace..
..their demands will only increase until some kind of extraordinary "redress" is imposed on them. Whatever form that takes is unclear?...
