We still are united, despite what Dan Rather, CNN and John Kerry say..

[sauropod]

Sobran is right.

we lost our states Rights, and a wonderful federalist system was born, just what the founding fathers wanted to avoid.

I want to know what it would take to secede from a state, or how to form our own county.

[Liberty Valance]

bttt

[BlueLancer]

Well, then I guess West Virginia "seceding" from Virginia would have been legal then as well.

Then some of the southern counties could have "seceded" from West Virginia ...

... and then some of the northern townships of the "seceded" counties ...

... until, finally, Roger Snodgrass seceded from the secessionist seceded counties and formed his own country, including all four acres of the bottomland down by the river.

Gee, they just laid to rest the last Civil War widow 139 years after the last bullet was fired; maybe Sobran can lay it to rest, too, some day.

[Ronly Bonly Jones]

Maybe Americans prefer the present megastate to the one the Constitution describes>>

Because the one the Constitution describes allowed human beings to be sold as slaves.

Sobran is not a conservative and should be vomited out of the mouth of the Right.

Few Americans realize the immense cost in blood, liberty, and even logic that lies behind this simple change of pronouns.

Sadly, this is all too true.

[sport]

Truer words have never been spoken [or written]!
The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves over what the Nation they gave us morphed into.

[Chewbacca]

Lincoln damaged the Constitution. FDR corrupted it.

[DannyTN]

The contrast between this article and the message we heard from Reagan repeated last week couldn't be greater.

[Porterville]

The only thing that is happening is that we are ridding ourselves of the Keynesians for the Hayeks.... stuck pigs scream like a dying rabbit.

[Fiddlstix]

With the death of Ronald Reagan we have been treated to many lists of 'great' Presidents. Infallibly Lincoln is at the top, this is why he should not be. Lincoln destroyed the concept of free and independent states, which led the oft-mentioned next 'great' President FDR to create a monolithic, central and socialist bureaucracy, which LBJ further expanded and Reagan attempted to tear down. So maybe we need to rethink who is actually a 'great' President.

[Constantine XIII]

We tried what Mr. Sobran wants, it was described by something called the Articles of Confederation, and frankly, they sucked.

Woot for the Constitution! :)

[PISANO]

There can be little argument that the 10th Amendment, although often stated as an Amendment stoically defended by the 'conservatives' on the Supreme Court, has been completely neutered, by the same Supreme Court, WITH the help of a few of those 'conservatives'.

The IRS would have a cow if any state left the union now. All the tax money for social programs would suffer. Wonder how the Mexicans intend to put it past the government when they take over California, New Mexico and Arizona?
