Oh for heaven’s sake!
Make that, “You can’t assert that these lawless activities by the federal government are constitutional....”
I’m the world’s worst typist.
Your last sentence is what many of us fear is going to happen. A country needs a common cultural bond or it will fall apart. I really don’t see how we can stay one nation through this century, thanks to the changes wrought in our nation starting in the 1960s. The cultural Marxists have set us upon a course of dissolution.
your "fedrl gubmint publick screwl edumakashun" is showing for ALL to see.
perhaps you should contact "N-S, The DAMNyankee Minister of Propaganda" & ask him for your "secret squirrel number", as you are evidently as clue-LESS as he & the other members of "the DAMNyankee coven of fools, nitwits, BIGOTS, halfwits, antisemites & south-HATERS" are.
given your DUMB-bunny response, you will be WELCOMED into the coven.

swattie, swattie, scourge of the uneducated.

But how can anybody take you seriously when you write like that.
Could it be that your own "edumakashun" -- or lack thereof -- is showing?
I know you'll respond that it's the content that matters not the form.
That's just it, swattie. That's just it.
NATURE is UNkind to turncoats.

once more you have impressed us all with your ARROGANT ignorance, silliNESS & lack of cleverness.
i make fun of "the public school system" (just as Rush does) because it is MIS-educating our children, fills their heads full of BILGE & LIES & in sum is a complete waste of money/time/effort.
had i been made "king for a week", i would have first ABOLISHED the public schools altogether & given grants to each parent to educate their children in whatever school they deem wisest/most suitable.
laughing AT you, as MOST here do.

as i said, the TENTH AMENDMENT makes your argument (such as it is) LOOK foolish & UNeducated. like that of so many others of our countrymen, the public schools has filled your head full of MUSH & statist NONSENSE.
NONE of the states, at the time of the founding of this REPUBLIC, would have FREELY joined a union that they could NOT just as FREELY "depart at their own motion".
laughing AT you.

Oh, ok, let’s just ignore history. BTW - where did you go to school?
there is NO history to ignore. - just an UNJUST war against the CSA by "the clay-footed secular saint of DAMNyankeeland", "DIShonest abe lincoln, the cheap, scheming shyster" & "his merry band of crooks,war profiteers, thieves & scoundrels".

In other words, are we, the citizenry and the states, obligated to stay in the Union as required by the Constitution, even if the federal government has long since stopped abiding by the Constitution?
May I never see you over open sights one day. That is if you will fight for Obama to keep Texas in.
If the federal government clearly isn't following the Constitution a case can be made for rebellion against its tyranny. I suppose that could be done nationally or by a state.
But if you have the vote and representatives in Congress and aren't being physically oppressed by the government, it's hard to make the case for rebellion stick.
In other words, the government would have to be truly repressive and tyrannical. It can't just be that somebody thinks that the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional.
If things go downhill, civil disobedience is probably a better place to start than threats of revolution or secession.
Before it comes down to tyranny and rebellion, there may be an attempt to dissolve the union.
I wouldn't want to see that happen, but if it's done at the federal level through Congress or a national convention it would have the legitimacy that unilateral state action wouldn't have.
look for AZ, CA,CO,NM,NV & WA to secede FIRST, to become Los Estados Unidos de Azatlan!!!

We are watching before our very eyes the governments of many Western nations importing a new constituency, one that has no attachment to our historic civilization and (in the case of America) no particular fondness for the Constitution. This is being done by political elites who want unlimited power and who regard our traditional faiths and institutions as being passe relics that belong in the dustbins on history. They don't plan to kill us or imprison us, but to tax the hell out of us and use us as a Goldstein-like foil (as in 1984) to keep the non-white, feminist, homosexual, leftist, and other post-60s groups whipped into a constant hatred against us and our allegedly repressive institutions such as traditional marriage and the family.
Thus, at some point in the future, we'll be in a society where we're taxed like hell to support the 60% or so that keep the government in power, and are constantly (and I mean 24/7) berated by government, the educational establishment, the media and other outlets. We'll be constantly on the defensive as the government finds new "discrimination" on our part that needs redress. Reparations to feminist groups for not giving women the vote 800 years ago. New laws banning Bibles from hotel rooms since homophobic hate literature has no place in a business involved in interstate commerce and public accommodations. There will never be an end, as I've said before, because liberalism itself never ends. It exists to destroy that which sustains our civilization.
This is clearly already starting. So Gov. Perry is right, we may need at some point to peacefully withdraw and go our own way in the few remaining states that are pockets of free America as it once was.
dustbins on history = dustbins of history! :-)
Well done.
Thanks!
If that were true, the Constitution requires that the governor/legislature petition for assistance. As it was, even Congress refused to call out the militia when the states seceded, and they went so far as to REJECT a proposed amendment prohibiting secession. Face the facts, several states reserved the right to secede in their ratifications, and the framers REJECTED a motion to prevent secession by military force.
Article I, Section 10 and Article IV, Section 3.
I knew you couldn't, as nowhere does the Constitution prevent secession.
Dude, 1795 precedes 1861. 1869 is 8 years after the fact.
