I highlighted Article X because it demonstrates the off-axis thinking of radical northerners who had insisted on fighting an optional war against the South and the U. S. Constitution.

I'm always amused by the southern position that they could claim the protection of the Constitution while simultaneously repudiating it.

Indeed, what an amusing position he has taken.

He engages in far to much name calling to be taken seriously.

I'm always amused by the southern position that they could claim the protection of the Constitution while simultaneously repudiating it.

And I'm always amused by the lincoln/yankee apologists. Do you also defend 0bama's Constitutional violations?

The home page of FR has a quote from the Declaration of Independence, part of which is:

"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."

What part of the above do you disagree with? Is it your yankee opinion that governments control The People and not that they govern by the consent of The People?

Amazing that after all these years you're still clinging to the same pathetic ideology of oppressive central government statism.

The war between the Southern States and the US Federal Government was a political war. The battle was between State Rights/Sovereignty and Statism. The Statist won.

The reason why we never hear you or your pathetic polemic posse complain about 0bama is because you are happy about the present situation.
