An overlording central government is unAmerican.
“Some Think Secession Is Un-American”
—
Well..., it’s just that Abraham Lincoln settled that issue for all the states. And the states that did secede, originally, in order to come back into the Union again, they ended up giving up that right, which may have been there originally — but is not no longer there (since Lincoln “decided” the issue by a bloody war we had...).

He didn’t say that when Vermont had a state house motion made to secede.
I believe the issue here is the proper and long overdue actions by the states of forcing a legal battle in the courts... to challenge the judicial branch to exercise some checks and balances over the legislature, which is clearly in the process of marginalizing the constitution out of existence or relevance. Unfortunately, the supreme court itself appears to be just as hell bent on destroying the constitution as well.
Our state governments represent the last line of defense for our individual liberties short of mob-style public revolution.
KEY POINT.
I’m sure the Chinese, Russians and Islamists will approve of us breaking down into smaller countries. Divide and Conquer is a concept as old as war.
...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Now it does say that this should not happen for "light and transient causes" and that this should only be a resort after "a long train of abuses and usurpations." We're only in the first 4 months of this administration and most of what Obama wants to do are still only proposals. We still have the 2010 elections before us and the 2012 elections after that so, while we reserve the right, as guaranteed in our founding documents, to "abolish" a government that has become destructive to our natural rights, we still have remedy within the existing system to prevent or correct the "usurpations" this administration desires to inflict upon us. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
And you think they could actually defeat us on our soil and keep an occupation force here? And what’s to prevent seceding states from banding together to form a new union based on the original intent of the Constitution?
The libs don’t want to give up their power.
screw Lincoln
