2nd Secessionist Convention

Held Oct 3-4 in Chattanooga, TN this conference excludes no secessionist organization no matter how small. Can't say I agree with some of them on more than than the right of secession. Sponsored by the Middlebury Institute and the League of the South it's a meeting of the minds for a broad spectrum of people who are tired of Federal Government tyranny!

Fascinating! (I pulled up the page for the California group while this was one) - I'm actually rather torn... On the one hand, I fully support the RIGHT to secede (and the right to revolution, each in Jeffersonian terms)... but the practicality of most of the states surviving as independent entities, or even a loose confederation, is highly doubtful. My first priority is on restoring democracy to the U.S., secession is more of a last resort (but maybe we're there?).

Eastern Europe is doing just fine without Soviet tanks around ... just look at the success of little Estonia over the past decade and a half!

You've got it wrong. If you want to keep us in submission, you need a president like lincoln who is willing to burn our state (S.C.) to the ground. that worked with great results. FEDS OUT!!!! Leave S.C. alone! Dio Vindice

"Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as

a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be

bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the

new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a

NATIONAL constitution."

-- James Madison (Federalist No. 39, 1788)

Secession is a big mistake. Dont take my word for it. All We The People need is to take back our two vital powers, the Power of the Purse and the Power of the Sword. Revitalize the Constitutional State Militia by State Statute and get to your reps and make sure they institute a sound money system based in gold and silver. See Edwin Vieira, Jr.

@johnnyreb1025 Interesting quote johnnyreb but the general belief is that the Civil War put that idea to rest. The Republicans, and especially Lincoln, made it clear that the Union was indesolvable and that is the idea that prevailed at the end of the Civil Way. Therefore, it would seem that you would have to refight the Civil War to change the interpretation of the Constitution. I seriously doubt that you will find a Federal Court that would rule otherwise.

The whole US sould secede and scrap corporate dictatorship, government debt, etc. - you don't need war, you need freedom.

California and Texas should be able to live without one another. Both states and people would be happier. And Texas wouldn't have to pay the enormous debt of California's bankrupt welfare state, and California could legalize pot all day long with no intrusion from the Feds, which Texas controls (second only to Cali). They can still be pen pals of course.

PowerPlant you must have been sleeping on the job, you are just a year late responding. I wouldn't want states in my union that didn't want to be in it.

English -- look into this dumb fuck. Look into the Southern State's laws against ANY written material against slavery. Go look dumb fuck. No free pres.

Look up the laws against speaking out against slavery. Go fucking look it up too,

And then look into the laws of the South prohibiting religions from even preaching things against slavery.

Then dumb fuck - go look up how the South didn't even allow elections in the Deep South, long BEFORE the civil war.

Go find real history moron.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

English dumb fuck -- I got this from SOUTHERN books at the time. Got that retard? From SOUTHERN leaders own writing - like Lee and Davis.

Got that dumb fuck?

The SOUTHERN government you fucking idiot, controlled what you could say, or read, or write. Got that dumb fuck?

Those were the laws of the South - nothing could be written or said, or even preached, which even questioned slavery.

The fact that you don't know that shows how little you know about real history dumb fuck.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

brain you have an iron curtain around you know. It's called stupidty and myth -- and you fucks built it yourself.

[PowerPlantEngineer]

Englishonly -- Look up UFO's and men who gave birth too.

If you want real history dumb fuck -- read Lee's letter saying GOD ordained slavery and intended it to be cruel and painful.

Look up Davis saying "God delivered the Negro to us" to enslave.

Look up Lee's whipping slave women in his barn - standing by yelling to whip harder.

Look up the South's own official document saying slaver was the FOUNDATION of the confederacy.

By all means dumb fuck - look up real history idiot.

[EnglishOnly1]

@PowerPlantEngineer - You obviously have never read history for yourself... just listened to someone else preach it to you.

Whatever, I have no use for mindless zombies who don't have enough brains to even look up the info to see what's true or not true.
