No, next question.
OK, next question — why not?
Next time fight to win...
Stupid question.
A better question would be, “Should ALL the states regain their pre civil war autonomy?”
"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."
"Obstacles may retard, but they cannot long prevent the progress of a movement sanctified by its justice, and sustained by a virtuous people ."
"Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."
"The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered upon a new and enlarged arena." Jefferson Davis, address to the Mississippi legislature - 16 years after the wars end.
"The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form."
Too bad King Lincoln is dead, I would love to hear his answer.
Next time, try a little harder to free MD.
;D
Only to point this out. When Latinos reach a significant population in most southern states...you only need to arrange for the Pope to make a ten-day swing through and galvanize Latinos back to the Catholic Church. Then you pull out some Latino-Billy Graham and pump up the other half. Suddenly, you’ve got half the Latino population in America who are either Tea Party or Republican. I think the Democrats really screwed up on their long-term strategy.
We did.
It doesn’t work when you enemy controls both the industries and the seas.
No the real question is "Does the North?"
Our North, Northeast, Mid North, and Southern and Northern West coast don’t have any substantive value for the South...that’s why.
Dear Stupid People,
Please do a check and see who’s running the three biggest cities in Alabama and then tell me we have a racial problem in our politics.
(Post not directed toward anyone on this site.)
MD was going Dixie then King Lincoln started arresting the legislature and the rest is history.
I ~know~...so, again, *please* come up and kick arse -harder- next time!
LOL
Don’t tease the special people. LOL
Bazinga!
My argument in favor is based on a breach of contract. The original contract - The Constitution - has been so altered by judicial fiat and executive orders that it must be renegotiated or abandoned.
Delusional Thinking
Blacks are by far the most religious group out there, they overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Mexicans are no different, they will vote whomever gives them the most stuff and who their race leaders tell them to vote for and rest assured that won't be the Republicans.
How about, I just don’t like those people up there.
