The South is Rising Again (Spirit of Secession is Nationwide)

The South is rising again. Before I go any further, let me clarify. Sadly, too many in our country possess the superficial and ignorant perception that the only impetus behind southern secession was to perpetuate the abhorrent practice of slavery. Therefore, when they hear such a phrase, their kneejerk reaction tells them this must be about race. I assure you, it’s not.

When the North invaded the South during the 1860s, it was to deny the southern states the ultimate expression of their sovereignty – the ability to withdraw from a union they had voluntarily joined. Interestingly, secession was a right that the northern New England states had contemplated using themselves in the 1804 Hartford Convention when they felt the national government had become too oppressive.

So what does any of this have to do with our current situation? Barack Obama and his cohorts are meeting a wall of opposition not seen in well over a century. To this point, 37 states have taken up legislation to essentially resurrect the nullification doctrine and void the enforcement of the blatantly unconstitutional individual mandate should ObamaCare pass.

Yes, the spirit of the South is rising again, but this time it’s different. This time it’s all over the country.

Ya gotta love it. Stuff like this keeps me from feeling hopeless and like, "What's the use to try", and from going insane.

Same principle -- different triggering issue (I wanted to say different stimulus, but I thought that in poor taste right now.)

It is time. I'll repost this here having every intention of fannign the flames. This is from dougie, one of queen nancy's henchmen. The pigs of the demorats are trying to make this a decree and now a part of an orderly Constitutional process. How do we start? From: Thornell, Doug [mailto:Doug.Thornell@mail.house.gov]

Subject: Tea Party Etiquette TO: Freshman and Sophomore House Democrats FROM: Office of the Assistant to the Speaker DATE: March 15, 2010 RE: Tea Party Etiquette As many of you have read, tomorrow, Tuesday, March 16, 2010, tens of thousands of conservative and Tea Party activists will be on the Hill as part of what they are dubbing a “Surge Against Obamacare.” Rick Scott, a multimillionaire investor and former hospital executive, is helping to lead the grassroots effort along with a number of other groups on the right like Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks. While many of you have met with outspoken activists in your districts in the past, we wanted to remind you of some of the best practices to review with your DC staff: 1. Be prepared. Activists are expected to begin arriving around 9am and they have been given instructions to wait in your office until they can have a meeting. Please have an orderly process and enough staff and interns to welcome what could be a very large number of visitors throughout the day: · Have staff and/or Member time set-aside to visit with attendees in small groups; · Ask for extra chairs or seating to be brought to your office or the hall in case there are seniors or disabled visitors that need to be accommodated; · Consider having some light snacks, H2O, and coffee available; · Ask visitors to leave all signs and banners outside the office. 2. Prioritize listening to your constituents: · Have multiple guest books/comment sheets available for all visitors to sign-in and leave comments — we recommend you have one for residents of your district, one for residents of your state (but not your district), and one for out-of-state visitors. Have a Capitol Directory and map available to direct visitors to their Member of Congress and written instructions on how to get over to the Senate side of the Hill. · There is limited rationale for your Member to meet with out-of-district constituents, especially if you already had other business or meetings previously scheduled with constituents who had planned to visit with you tomorrow on other topics. It is up to individual offices to decide if staff would like to take these meetings. 3. Listen and communicate in small groups: · As we learned in August, small groups are typically the best venue for exchanges on this complicated topic. · Many of the conservative activists are not opposing the actual provisions in the bill, but are instead reacting to a caricature of the reform bill presented by right-wing media outlets. In fact, many conservative and GOP ideas and concerns are addressed in the legislation: ü Reduces the deficit; ü Cracks down on Medicare waste, fraud, and abuse; ü Provides historic tax credit for small businesses and individuals to purchase health insurance; ü Allows consumers to shop for health insurance across state lines via multi-state compacts; ü Inaugurates medical malpractice reforms, (an area where the GOP failed to take any action when in charge of Congress for 12 years). · Also, don’t assume common myths about this bill have been debunked. Be prepared to explain that there are no death panels, that Medicare is in fact strengthened, and that reform is not a government take-over, but it is an attempt to crack down on the abusive practices of health insurance companies by providing oversight and increasing competition. · Finally, work to establish common-ground with visitors by ensuring they are aware and supportive of the important changes that will take place immediately: ü Offer tax credits to small businesses to purchase coverage; ü Prohibit pre-existing condition exclusions for children in all new plans; ü Provide immediate access to insurance for uninsured Americans who are uninsured because of a pre-existing condition through a temporary high-risk pool; ü Prohibit dropping people from coverage when they get sick in all individual plans; ü Eliminate lifetime limits and restrictive annual limits on benefits in all plans; ü Require premium rebates to enrollees from insurers with high administrative expenditures and require public disclosure of the percent of premiums applied to overhead costs; ü Ensure consumers have access to an effective internal and external appeals process to appeal new insurance plan decisions; ü Require plans to cover an enrollee’s dependent children until age 26; ü Require new plans to cover preventive services and immunizations without cost-sharing; ü Relief on the Donut Hole. If you have any questions, please let us know.

How else do you propose to get rid of all the ‘entitlements’ and the massive unelected bureaucracy which is infested by insane liberals? Neither party will get rid of them.

It can be nasty. My great-grandfathers took up arms against the tyranny of the Federal Government in 1861. As a result, their family’s homes and businesses were burned to the ground and namesake great-grandfather was taken prisoner. I also had seven ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. They lost much. But, I am ready to follow in their path.

It's the spirit of Secession pissant. Read the last paragraph. 37 States have resurrected the right to nullify Obama's Health Care plan. I repeat: It's the spirit of Secession. We know that no State is going to Secede from the Union ....well.....Texas maybe.

[pissant]

Revolt and reclaim what is ours. We need a 2nd revolution, not a 2nd civil war.

[Hoodat]

Let’s simply make Washington, D.C. secede.

[gwjatjjm America]

I am not for Secession just yet. First I wanna fight to kick the Marxists, Socialist, Progressives and RINO’s from power.

Should the left wing retain power after the 2012 election, than yes, I think the southern states shoul seceed.

[Spktyr]

When a government has ceased to protect the lives, liberty and property of the people, from whom its legitimate powers are derived, and for the advancement of whose happiness it was instituted, and so far from being a guarantee for the enjoyment of those inestimable and inalienable rights, becomes an instrument in the hands of evil rulers for their oppression.

When the Federal Republican Constitution of their country, which they have sworn to support, no longer has a substantial existence, and the whole nature of their government has been forcibly changed, without their consent, from a restricted federative republic, composed of sovereign states, to a consolidated central military despotism, in which every interest is disregarded but that of the [ObamaCorps] army and the [global warming] priesthood, both the eternal enemies of civil liberty, the everready minions of power, and the usual instruments of tyrants.

When, long after the spirit of the constitution has departed, moderation is at length so far lost by those in power, that even the semblance of freedom is removed, and the forms themselves of the constitution discontinued, and so far from their petitions and remonstrances being regarded, the agents who bear them are thrown into dungeons, and mercenary armies sent forth to force a new government upon them at the point of the bayonet.

When, in consequence of such acts of malfeasance and abdication on the part of the government, anarchy prevails, and civil society is dissolved into its original elements. In such a crisis, the first law of nature, the right of self-preservation, the inherent and inalienable rights of the people to appeal to first principles, and take their political affairs into their own hands in extreme cases, enjoins it as a right towards themselves, and a sacred obligation to their posterity, to abolish such government, and create another in its stead, calculated to rescue them from impending dangers, and to secure their future welfare and happiness.

Nonsense. This nullification stuff is political pandering for your consumption only. I’m convinced that if Obamacare passes, there will be a lot of huffing and puffing, and some near-term election losses for the Dems, but the Republicans will only trim around the edges, while the roots of Statism and Fedzilla continue to grow. That’s what Obama is counting on.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Dixians?

[Bean Counter]

I would feel a lot better if I saw a joint statement from 37 State Attorney Generals, informing the Federal government of their intention to file a Class Action lawsuit with a request for an emergency stay of all provisions of this legislation should any of it be “approved” by this Congress.

The State AGs have the power to do exactly that, and I would argue, a duty.

What’s there to reclaim, especially in the north?

What do you propose to do with the armies of liberal welfare voters who will continue to vote themselves benefits from the public fisc? What do you propose to do about the thousands of unfunded mandates that somehow states and individuals must obey and pay for, yet nobody ever seems to repeal? How do you propose to deal with the Northeastern states, where personal responsibility is a thing of the past, where the majority of citizens are demanding more and more government intervention in their lives to ‘protect’ them from assorted imagined ills?

Even if we ‘take back’ our country, we’d still have this cancer. Better to amputate the afflicted portion and let them go their own way.

LET'S DO IT!!! I'M DOWN FOR IT.

Well there’s always the political figure Mr. Mentum (first name, Moe).

There’s been a LOT of outrage generated over this Bummer grab. I don’t think the outragees are going to be content to throw a celebration then go their separate ways if Bummercare flops. Not now. They’ve seen that getting this close to the fire, they get pulled in.

Reclaim fidelity to the constitution. Ought to be tried before breaking into 50 countries who would soon be at war with each other.

Cancel the unfunded mandates. Cancel welfare. Re-invigorate the Bill of Rights. IF you still had this “cancer”, at least they’d have to work for a living. The welfare queens will just have to demand it from their own states, as ALL welfare (should there be any) must come from. The blue states will learn quickly to get their shit together.

Mr. Heck demonstrates both his lack of knowledge of US history and of basic arithmetic. He thinks that the War of 1812 happened before 1804.

The whirlwind that Obama is reaping is proof that it has a chance.

[Sequoyah101]

I wish there were time or will to stand in solidarity with them tomorrow by stopping work, going outside and standing together with them in protest.

Nobody would know but us. Months ago, in February of last year, I suggested this at an appointed time each week to allow those who are faithful to the Constitution and the memories of those who have sacrificed, worked, fought, died and been maimed for freedom to recognize they are not alone. Perhaps, from these little flickers the flame of freedom and all that is truly the United States will be preserved.

What is going on is WRONG.

[cookiedough]

We could change the voting law and make it a requirement that the person who votes must have actually paid taxes or been married to someone who paid taxes. State or federal taxpayers would be the only ones permitted to vote in state or federal elections.

That way, only the people whose money is being taken can vote.
