What ever happened to the saying "love it or leave it"? If liberals, upset with the election of a republican had talked about secession, conservatives would have told them to just get the fuck out.

Who produced this "awesome" nonsense ?

Another You Tube post with a different spin............from Judge Napolitano.

Liberals would never advocate secession. They love the federal government. If anything, they'd like to abolish the states entirely.

The states maybe citizen's last line of defense when all things tumble down.....

Mike Church, on Sirius/XM Patriot Channel 125, says that the form of government advocated by the founders may no longer be practical because of the enormous increase in population growth. He thinks the only way to have a constitutional republic is at a state level. He advocates secession.

Can't disagree Joe.

Nah, those two idiots (Joe the Bloehard & WhirlyTurd) are still hoping for one more crack at the one from the 1860's!

I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. In 1860 the southern states seceded from the union. They did not declare war on the north. South Carolina fired on the fort when Lincoln tried to resupply it and add more troops. Up until then relations were fairly civil. The soldiers went into Charleston to buy food at the markets. Firing on the fort was a PR mistake. It gave Lincoln the moral authority to send troops into the south. That is the history.

The modern version (as I have written many times) is not about leaving the US. It is about the states putting force the idea that the states are independent of the federal government as enumerated in the Constitution. There would be a war only if the occupant of the White House wanted one. Otherwise the states would do their thing, stop sending their tax money to DC, and stop listening to federal laws that violate the Constitution. I imagine if one state started the ball rolling several other states would join. Once again (so that you understand this simple thing) there would only be a war if Barry wanted one.

And by definition secession has nothing to do with leaving the country like so many liberals threaten but never do.

It's a stupid (team 1) vs non-stupid (team 2) issue.

To those who think I just repeated myself, you, of course, are on team one.
