The question is: what are we going to do about it? Do we have the courage to face the answer? And then act?
It’ll have to get much worse before anything happens. Maybe this is off topic, but have you seen people sweeping their driveways with gas powered blowers? Raking leaves with same? I’m talking owners, not landscapers. I see it all the time. As long as we have people stupid enough to use a gas powered broom, we haven’t reached the bottom yet.
Many parts of the country are for the most part comfortable with totalitarian government and will never secede. We need one or two large states like Texas and Alaska to secede, others will follow. Personally I think it is wrong to think in terms of states, and more productive to think in terms of counties or congressional districts. For example, there are huge areas of California - on of the “bluest” of states, that would secede if it was practical. If secession were to occur it would require wholesale revision of political boundaries.
Secession has a much better chance of success than trying to remove BHO over the birth certificate issue which is going no where.
Entirely as an academic exercise I'd like to see what the "Davis and Lee were traitors" crowd that infests CW posts has to say about the same subject updated...?
On the other hand, I think our present central government would act a lot sooner and (yes) more harshly to any remotely serious form of states rights movement today.
And, I guarantee that the UN would provide all the aid and succor needed to assure that North America didn't pick up any votes in that (sarc) esteemed body (/ sarc).
imho The federal reserve is at the base of all corruption.
I'm sure they are involved with states too.
We need to know who cooks the books in US government AND
indivdual states government.
I'm sure if we knew all the lies we would be shocked.
Are you unaware of the CURRENT states’ rights movement going on?
You might go to tenthamendmentcenter if you haven’t heard.
Bump for a great article.
BTTT
I can imangine a wide swath from Nevada to the Illinois border, just checking out......
Those that want to secede could form a new union and tell the rest to go eff themselves!
Part of Canada, too. There's no love lost for Toronto in Alberta and a lot of BC.
That’s a potentially dangerous road, as our favorite author Travis McGee has shown in his latest book, “Foreign Enemies and Traitors.” Check it out.
One of the most sobering lessons of the past century - and this, too - is just how bad it can get and how fast it can get that way. Examples are all aroubnd us. America's not immune.
But the encouraging thing is that, as one woman, echoing the words of Admiral Yamamoto, said to Arlen Sphincter today, "You have awakened a sleeping giant."
It's not going to turn out any better for the Obamunist bastards running the show now than it did for the Japanese then. We still have patriots and people of courage among us.
Fell deeds await.
Read this.
From 1952 and timely today.
“There is no end of trouble the states can give the centralizers by merely refusing to cooperate. Such refusal would meet with popular acclaim if it were supplemented with a campaign of education on the meaning of states’ rights, in terms of human freedom.”
I’m ready for secession. If CO won’t do it then I’ll move to a state that will.
Income tax is the worst. If we could retain that money it would be invested in our industries and our localities and more revenue would be rec’d to the Feds to defend our interests.
Instead they take and spend. They and spend our money and what’s more they pass legislation that cripples our local businesses.
Everyday... every f...ing day there is something that this president or the gov’t does that angers me...
