Secession and Historical Ignorance

There’s a YouTuber called Timcast who is generally conservative, but yesterday he really pissed me off.  He opined that secession of states is illegal and revealed some of the most ignorant and naive notions about the War of Northern Aggression, the kind of 3rd grade pap we were all taught in childhood.  Jeez, some people never learn.

Dr Seuss and Secession

Dr Seuss has now fallen prey to Cancel Culture madness, to political fanatics who see anything and everything as “raaacist.”  The insanity continues to worsen and we need to separate ourselves from it.

Speaking of separation, the subject of red state secession is being discussed more and more by conservatives and Republicans.  I fully support this remedy for healing the body politic.

Who Will Be the First to Secede?

 

Secession movements are active across  the USA, most importantly in Texas.  However, many realize that the fraudulent election of 2020 pretty much killed off any pretense that we are "united" states, especially with utterly fascist plans by the Democrats to outlaw free speech and punish those who disagree.

The truth is, individual states don't have to go along with the new fascism of Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.   These radicals do not have the right to rule -- they only do so with our express consent, and we can withdraw our consent.

So what do we do when the radical Democrats pack the Supreme Court, open the borders, outlaw fossil fuel production and invalidate the Second Amendment?  We just say NO.  WE DO NOT CONSENT.  We are removing our states from the jurisdiction of the far-left, unAmerican and anti-American PARTY OF TREASON, the Democrats.

I have chosen as a symbol of the Right of Constitutional Secession, the Bonnie Blue Flag, first used by the Southern states in the secession of  1861.   The flag features a Single Star, representative of your state that you have retrieved from the Union to again stand alone in political independence and self-governance.

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that Bears a Single Star!

WE DO NOT CONSENT: The Doctrine of Secession

 

A long established dictum of government, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence, is that a government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.  The Fascist-Democrat takeover of the nation, now underway, does not recognize or validate that dictum.  Indeed, they have declared war on the rest of society that refuses their socialist/globalist quasi-dictatorship.

The Democrat election theft, the censorship and deplatforming of conservative writers, pundits and politicians, the calls for reeducation camps for Trump supporters and the take away of their children, all indicate the seriousness of our current situation.   Extremists now have control of the federal government.

As for the dictum, our position should be clear:  

WE DO NOT CONSENT!

Based on this, I will now dedicate this blog, for the foreseeable future, or until I am deplatformed like the rest,  on the advocacy of secession of conservative states.  Our union with tyranny has come to an end, it's time to recognize this fact and seek peaceful solutions.

    

What's Next for America? Secession or Deep and Bitter Division?

 Over at Vox Popoli the blogger is confident that Trump will be sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2021.  He points out that Trump is not acting like a lame-duck president and Biden is not acting like a president-elect.  Both of them know that this is not over.

Over on FaceBook, Southern patriots are expressing hope for a new secession, on getting rid of the statist, socialist, globalist New England and west coast states once and for all.  

I am favorable to both opinions.  Really, isn't it time we realize that our 245 year old union has run its course?  We are two diametrically opposed nations trying to live in the same space.  The answer to our conflict may be amazingly simple:

SECEDE

Secession Isn't Treason: Why Jefferson Davis Was Never Tried

The North was in a bit of a quandary after capturing Confederate President Jefferson Davis.  They kept him locked up, sometimes in chains, for months after the war ended.  If they tried him for treason, they might lose in court, because secession wasn't treason.

Trying Davis might result in a court decision that secession was constitutional, and the North would lose in court the principle they had illicitly won on the battlefield.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Salmon P. Chase advised against any trial for this reason.  Jeff Davis was released without trial because of it.

Secession was, and is, Constitutional. If the United States continues its headlong plunge into a statist, socialist tyranny, states may again secede from the Union.

Confederate Quote of the Day: Jack Kerwick

In treating the Confederate flag like a Swastika, in reducing it to a one-dimensional symbol of “hate,” the flag’s enemies—both Democrats and Republicans—are guilty of nothing less than the dehumanization of generations—of millions—of patriotic, God-fearing, salt-of-the-Earth Southern Americans.

--Jack Kerwick, writing in the Unz Review:  
The Fake Controversy of the Confederate Flag -- and Why It Matters

Feeling Alienated: Pray For a New Secession

Yankee Hatred Then As Now

Let's see....Congress is voting on banning the Confederate flag from federal cemeteries.  Illegal aliens are to be allowed to vote (if the left has its way).  Radical white-hating blacks vote to dig up Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife from their graves in Memphis.  The IRS and DOJ were conspiring to put conservatives in jail during the last election cycle. Christianity is being increasingly suppressed and replaced by a love of the State.  Plans are underway to rename U.S. forts named after Confederate generals, e.g., Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, Fort Hood. Monuments to the Confederate dead are being removed. Streets and schools are being renamed to erase any memorials to Confederates.

It's gotten so bad that radical white-hating blacks are now demanding the removal of Thomas Jefferson's memorial in Washington, D.C., and the renaming of Washington, D.C. (both Jefferson and Washington were slave owners).

This race-based hysteria has reached depths never previously attained in American history.  Never before have politicians and "civil rights" race-hustlers assaulted so assiduously the traditions, culture and history of the South.  What we are witnessing is an outpouring of hate, intolerance and ignorance by one segment of the population against another.  The Confederate flag is not so much a symbol of hate, but its target.  Indeed, it was largely this sectional hatred of North against South that brought on the last Civil War.  It may very well bring on the next.

Each day brings fresh outrages, and I read about them, dumbfounded, shocked and sickened.  Tonight, as I sit here at my table, I have to ask myself:  Am I proud to be an American?  The answer is no. Do I have any optimism for the future of this country?  Again, the answer is no.  Do I feel any patriotism for the USA?  Not very much.  Am I motivated to get out the vote for Republicans?  No.

About the only thing I could get excited and motivated about is secession.  I would love to see Texas lead the way.  I would love to see various states flip off the federal tyranny on their way out the door.

We can no longer hope to save the America that once was -- but we can save pieces of it -- through secession.  Instead of seeing the Confederate flag as a disdained memorial to long-dead and defeated soldiers, I want to see it flying proudly and lively over every state capitol in the South -- as the national flag of a new Southern Confederacy.

Declaration of Independence

Declaration of Independence
Thomas Jefferson

July 4, 1776

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remaining, in the mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasions from without and convulsions within.

He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that purpose obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands.

He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to, the civil power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;

For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;

For imposing taxes on us without our consent;

For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury;

For transporting us beyond seas, to be tried for pretended offenses;

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies;

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments;

For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.

He has excited domestic insurrection among us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have we been wanting in our attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity; and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends.

We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.

A Time to Fight: Take Down the American Flag -- America Has Seceded From the South!

This morning I read on Drudge that the Antietam Battlefield Park has removed all Confederate flag items from its shops.  They are so fanatical about their censorship of history, that they won't sell anything that even pictures a Confederate flag, if that picture or depiction is detachable.

This is worse than fascism -- this is mass insanity.  America has become a hostile work environment.  Or more than that, a hostile living environment.

NASCAR is also reaching new depths of depravity.  Not only are they banning use of the Confederate flag on the track, now they are seeking to ban it in the infield as well.

There are ways to comply with this madness:  stay home.  If Antietam and other parks deny the Confederate flag to the public, then the public should deny its dollars to Antietam.  Don't go there.

If NASCAR wants to spit in the face of its greatest supporters (flag-waving Southerners), comply with its wishes:  leave your Confederate flags at home, and stay there with them.

AND TAKE DOWN THE AMERICAN FLAG.  Why fly the flag of the invader?  The flag of a nation who hates us and seeks to oppress, marginalize, insult and disinherit us?  By its choice, not ours, we are no longer a part of America.  America has seceded from us!

America, then, should no longer be a part of us.  Let each one of us internally and morally secede from the Union, by withdrawing our moral support from it, by denying its moral legitimacy over our lives, by refusing to accept its false history, oppression and marginalization.

IT IS TIME TO FIGHT.  Not with guns (yet), but with strategies and countermeasures.  It is time for us to find ways to repay our Yankee masters for 150 years of occupation and oppression.

Ready to Secede? #secession

The U.S.  Supreme Court has become a cruel joke.  They just saved Obamacare again, and enforced gay marriage on all 50 states by edict, in a 5-4 vote.  States can no longer decide for themselves whether or not to enact gay marriage or stay with the traditional view of marriage.  Now they have been ordered to accept it.

Once again, we see the power of the states slipping away, replaced by an arm of the federal government.  It is clear that the Republic is lost, the Constitution a relic -- perhaps fit only for a museum, right next to the Confederate flag.

Personally, I don't see any other option:  It is time for states to begin secession from the United States of America, and to form new unions or confederations as they see fit.

I am a Confederate

This latest brouhaha over the Confederate flag has made me realize one thing:  I am a Confederate first, and an American second.  I am a Confederate first, and a conservative third.  I am not even sure I am a Republican anymore.

At least the increasingly virulent attacks on the symbols of my nation have clarified that for me.  I now have a better idea of who I am. And who I am not.

The Confederate flag is my flag.  The United States flag is not.  I have psychologically seceded from the Union.

Northerners hate our guts.  We hate their guts.  You want no part of us.  We want no part of you. Let us separate, as we should have done back in 1861.

Fourteen States Preparing For Secession or Rebellion Against Federal Tyranny - Maybe #Secession

A site called "Before It's News" is reporting that fourteen states have begun reestablishing autonomous "State Defense Forces," i.e. state-run militaries that take their orders, not from the United States, but from their respective state governors.  Reportedly, Obama is fearful of these State Defense Forces because he does not control them.  Also, the article reports, Obama has sent warning notices to these fourteen governors to halt such actions immediately or face arrest for "treason."

Allegedly, the two governors leading this State Defense Force initiative are Rick Perry of Texas and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota.  Ken Larive of "Before It's News" reports:

The two Governors leading this move are: Tim Pawlenty, Governor of Minnesota; and Rick Perry, Governor of Texas. Both of these State Governors stated they have: “…deep fear the President is destroying their Nation.” Governor Pawlenty’s fear of Obama is that since Obama took office he has appeased America’s enemies and has shunned some of America’s strongest allies, especially Israel. Governor Perry has declared that Obama is punishing his State of Texas by dumping tens-of-thousands of illegal Mexican immigrants into the cities and small towns of Texas. Governor Perry further recently stated: “If Barack Obama’s Washington doesn’t stop being so oppressive, Texans might feel compelled to renounce their American citizenry and secede from the union.”

If there is any truth to this report, it would appear that we are moving in the direction of another Civil War.  However, I am taking this report with a large grain of salt -- but I do hope that it's true!

Taking Stock of the New Fascist America

I haven't blogged for an entire week.  To be honest, I have had a feeling of futility in the fight to preserve our freedoms.  We have lost major battles recently, if not the war.  Leftist "progressivism" is ascendant and Obama's goal to "transform America" into a socialist nation appears well on the way to success.

Americans are under heavy surveillance by our new fascist masters (and I use the term "fascist" as an actual and accurate description of Obama and the Democrats, and not as a gratuitous insult).  The "progressives" (the new and modern word for fascist) think they know better than the rest of us what is good for us, what should be legal or illegal, what should be mandatory and what should be allowed.  We, the rest of society, are merely a huge lump of clay for these progressive "artistes" to fashion as they may, sculpting us into a new regimented, indoctrinated and submissive peonage that lives only to support the new "utopia."  You know, the utopia of Chicago and Detroit, or of western Europe, which is busily committing ritual hara kiri with an Islamic scimitar.

As for the surveillance, I have to wonder at the websites that have been scouring every post on this blog since the beginning -- what are they looking for?  I find myself suspicious of every email from a stranger.

Meanwhile, I am sick to death of the left's many "isms" that they use as whips to control aberrant thought,  racism and sexism being the foremost.  Those who have drank deeply of the fascist Kool-aid are becoming increasingly impatient with those of us who refuse the cup, furious at our political apostasy for denying the new secular religion.

Can America be saved from its "progressive" transformation?  With the Republican Party now acting like a spanked lap dog of the left, acquiescing in "immigration reform" that will add millions of new voters to Democrat rolls, I am not optimistic.  Again, secession seems to be the only viable solution.  We can only hope that Texas, great Texas, will show us the way.

Mainstream Media On Board to "Pulverize, Delegitimize" the Republican Party

Thomas Lifson at American Thinker discusses the extreme bias of the Legacy Media (also known as the Democrat-Media Complex).  His column today begins:

The radical leftists who have staffed up the legacy media are losing all pretenses of being neutral reporters, and coming out of the closet as rabid partisans lately. It is one thing to openly swoon over Barack Obama at off-the-record events, which keeps the general public out of the loop, while privately reaffirming media solidarity as partisans. But it is quite something else to put one's name on a publication which argues for delegitimizing opposition to the Anointed One.

Slate online magazine advocates the same thing today:  destroy the GOP.  Remove all barriers to the Left's communization of the nation once known as the United States of America.  With victory in sight, the left is impatient to seal the deal, finish the job:  destroy American liberty and replace it with a collectivist tyranny.

This latest development again underscores the deepening divide between right and left in America.  It could have easily been foreseen that it would come to this.  For years the left has had a near monopoly on information and news reporting, and this monopoly has borne fruit, the biggest of which is Barack Obama.

At this point in our history, I do not see an electoral pathway to preserve the liberties bequeathed to us by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution.  It may require another American Revolution or civil war.  Possibly the best alternative is peaceful secession of the various states, forming new associations and new unions based on commonly-held values.

I doubt, however, that the left will allow a peaceful solution.  They are all about power and force.  What you or I want is not a concern to them.  We are mere putty to be molded to their will and vision.

Lawrence Auster on How We Can Create a New Conservative Society

See my post on this subject at my other blog, Confederate Gray.  Lawrence Auster is one of the best thinkers on the right and his busy brain is working on the problem we all face:  how to survive in a post-American world.

Deck the Halls With Fiscal Folly, Fa la la la la, la la la la

This is Not Harry Reid

Elections have consequences.  There's a phrase we hear a lot these days.  And the disastrous consequences of Obama's re-election are becoming clearer by day.

Nasty little Democrats like Dick Durbin are saying that the Dems won't negotiate on spending.  They are just going to continue spending like drunken sailors on loco weed.  The wretched Harry Reid, who looks like that evil preacher in Poltergeist, is trying to get rid of the filibuster so his neo-Marxist party can continue to turn the USA into the next Venezuela (but without the oil).

According to Rush Limbaugh today, the Dems are again talking about seizing all private pension funds (like 401K's), nationalizing them so they can spend the money on more pork, welfare and entitlements, putting everyone on a government pension payment plan like Social Security, which as we all know is going broke.  So when the Dems do this, they will effectively be stealing the retirement of millions of people, exchanging those pension funds for worthless federal government IOU's.  (If this happens, it will undoubtedly be the trigger that launches the actual secession of various states and the shooting may start.)

My feeling is, if we are going to be transformed into a banana republic, why not act like one?  Here's hoping for a coup d'etat and summary executions of "progressives" in power, media and academia.  Okay, I wasn't really serious about the summary executions.  Concentration camps will do fine.  We can store them in Gitmo with the rest of the terrorists.

Am I joking?  Of course, but I have a legitimate point to make with this satire.  The Democrats have already dispensed with elections through massive vote fraud, partisan redistricting and disenfranchisement of the military.  They are dedicated to the acquisition of power through any means necessary; they are not committed to constitutional, representative, republican government.  So why would they object to a little thing like a coup?  It would just be taking Democrat tactics to the next level.

Your Lives Are About to Get Much Worse, Americans

Monty Pelerin at American Thinker has a very depressing analysis of what Obama's re-election means to Americans (hat tip Donald Douglas at American Power).  Pelerin, like others, is predicting an economic collapse.  He writes:

His election ensures the continuing shift away from the Rule of Law, property rights, free men, and free markets. Obama's vision of how the world works ensures a dire economy until an economic collapse resets everything.

And this:

The United States and Europe have abandoned the fundamentals necessary for progress. Both are hopelessly committed to the failed ideas of Socialism. Both are headed for great catastrophe. The catastrophe extends beyond economic well-being and touches the foundations of society and civilization itself.

We are headed into an economic dark age, where standards of living will continue to decline and may collapse. Societies and civilizations will also regress.

Read the whole depressing article here.

Another article at Doug Ross Journal portrays a similar scenario, "We Have Lost" by Casey.  Casey writes:

The most productive people, the small business owners, the entrepreneurs and the honest wage earners of America are so demoralized right now I am not sure we will recover as a country. We have lost the most important election of our lifetime and did so after giving our best effort, spent the most money ever and working the hardest we have ever worked. The very people that America needs the most to generate a real recovery now have the least motivation to do so and worse, lack the confidence necessary to even justify the effort.

On polarization, he writes:

As a country we are hopelessly divided by a malignant polarization approaching that which divided us prior to the Civil War....The American can-do spirit, our optimism, our traditional dependence on our own ingenuity is now mere kindling on the advancing flame of an insidious yet steadily advancing socialism.

On the feeling of despair many now have:

Those of us who create real jobs, invest our capital, our fortunes and take the risks to build America, feel betrayed. The fundamentals of honest effort and hard work rendering the rewards associated with capitalism seem now like a cruel joke. We are now a targeted enemy not to be governed but coerced into submission by a lazy, corrupt, vindictive, arrogant government that is out for revenge, redistribution -- and to add a final insult -- one we believe is too morally bankrupt to lead.

Do read it all here.

Politics as usual is unlikely to turn the tide in time to avoid financial disaster and societal collapse.  Radical action may be necessary at some point, like the fledgling secession movements now underway.  Political protests of Obama's re-election are said to be proliferating -- that remains to be seen.  We must encourage their growth.  The legislatures of the red states must discuss and coordinate a unified refusal to cooperate with the radical regime now in Washington, including nullification of unconstitutional laws like Obamacare, open defiance of the Supreme Court's unconstitutional edicts, and suspension of the taxing authority of the federal government if that becomes necessary.  Note:  this is NOT a call for violence.  Our actions must proceed mainly through our state and local representatives.  Individual protests should proceed in peaceful ways, like this one.

We will not go gently into the dark night that looms before us.  We have not yet begun to fight.

Has the American Union Outlived Its Usefulness?

This article was posted at my other blog, Confederate Gray.  I am cross-posting it here as I think it has facts we should all consider.

Update:  Nineteen states have now filed petitions with Washington to secede from the Union.

********

Peter Morrison is a business man in Texas and has concluded that our "sacred union" is not so sacred anymore, that our political alliances with other states have outlived their historical purpose and usefulness, and it is time for the states to go their own way.

He writes:

I think Romney saw the polls last week and decided on a risky strategy of playing for Pennsylvania as his only way out. Just as it was 149 years ago, the fate of the nation was decided in Pennsylvania. The Romney campaign may be remembered as the Pickett's Charge of the conservative movement, a last desperate effort to stave off the cruel arithmetic of superior numbers overcoming principle and valor.

Others have noted the same analogy, noting that the 2012 election may have been "the high water mark" of conservatism -- and it's all downhill from here.

Morrison has concluded what I also did in a prior post:

It would be nice for Republicans if the facts were different and we could build a multi-ethnic, colorblind, conservative America, but the evidence is quite to the contrary.

The awful truth is that non-whites are largely biased against whites and will even vote against their own best interests (as Asians did) in order to punish whites.  Fifty years of slander of whites, in schools from kindergarten to the university, has emphasized the evil of white people, and how we (as a group) are responsible for all the world's ills.  Many whites have become self-hating as a result, and are paralyzed by the cultural bugaboo against "racism" that says whites can never act in their own self-interest.

However, Morrison thinks we should resist to the bitter end, and I agree.  He says:

Like the remainder of Lee's army after Gettysburg, it is our duty to keep fighting to the bitter end, in hopes that Providence might shine upon our cause before it is too late. We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity. But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic.

The long-term solution?  Secession, and again I agree.  Morrison writes

The bond between a husband and wife is sacred. National borders, once they have exhausted their historical purpose, are not.

It is time for an amicable divorce.  Read it all here.

American Death Watch

Some writers and pundits have come to the conclusion that American freedom has been mortally wounded.  With the absurd opinion from the Supreme Court on Obamacare and its denial of Arizona's ability to defend itself from a tide of illegal immigrants, the country may have passed a boundary from which it cannot recover.

Geoffrey P. Hunt believes that the 10th Amendment, guaranteeing the right of states to control undelegated powers, is a dead letter.  At the American Thinker, his essay It's Slipping Away states:

It surely seems like reliance on the High Court to affirm the Constitution's framework for divided power -- limited enumerated authority conferred to the central government with most rights reserved for the States and the people -- is slipping away. Nullification of the 10th Amendment -- "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people" -- has been creeping up since Woodrow Wilson and the first wave of Progressives commenced their assault on the Constitution. Progressives using fairness and equality as more noble ambitions for this nation in place of liberty and opportunity have gradually won over the court of public opinion and affection. The 10th Amendment is now as diminished and irrelevant as the 3rd Amendment, prohibiting the quartering of troops in private homes.

His conclusions are accurate:

It surely seems like reliance on the High Court to affirm the Constitution's framework for divided power -- limited enumerated authority conferred to the central government with most rights reserved for the States and the people -- is slipping away....Yes, it is slipping away. The final resting place for this most disagreeable journey will be the fate of all collectivist societies -- poverty and squalor. Friederick Hayek best expressed these futures in "The Road to Serfdom." But why study and work hard to avoid Hayek's bleak vision when it's easier to be dependent on the welfare state, all financed by someone else's largesse? Until the money runs out, of course, which it always does.

Mark Steyn shares Hunt's pessimism. In his article at National Review Online, Steyn has written an article appropriately titled American Twilight.  Reflecting on the Supremes' Obamacare decision, he writes:

In recent years, speaking to audiences hither and yon, I’m wont to say something on the lines of “The lamps are going out on liberty all over the world.” It’s my update on a famous observation by Edward Grey, British foreign secretary on the eve of the Great War. In August 1914, Sir Edward stood at his window in the summer dusk, and said, “The lamps are going out all over Europe.” He was speaking metaphorically...Metaphorically speaking, the lights of liberty were certainly dimmed by Roberts’s hideously convoluted Supreme Court decision...

Underscoring the analogy, Steyn notes that our once great superpower can't even get the lights back on in Washington following the huge power outage there last week. We're broke, and one of my childhood homes, Stockton, California is the biggest city to declare bankruptcy.  Under socialist statism, the money always runs out, sooner or later. He notes:

It was a reminder, as if you needed one, that in the American twilight the lights will be going out literally. Last week, as the East Coast was fading to black, the West Coast was sinking deeper into the red: Stockton, Calif., became the largest U.S. city to date to file forbankruptcy . America is seizing up before our eyes, and the action necessary to reverse the sclerosis is stymied at every turn by rapacious unions, government micro-regulators, dependency-spreading social engineers, and crony capitalists who know how to weave their way through the bureaucracy.

Socialism always produces poverty and squalor.  Under socialism, the average citizen's life will be less, not more. We are passing a point where the only solution to this new form of fascism may be radical:  nullification by a state or group of states acting in concert, or even secession.
