Food for thought on this Memorial Weekend: should we blame others for the state of our nation, or is it ourselves?

It takes great courage to go after what we really want in life. It takes even greater courage to take on the powerful and the enormously wealthy in the world, who're Hell bent on destroying what we love and cherish about our nation - our liberty.

Karl Denninger does a good job in explaining the "5 Points" that has brought our nation to the point of collapse.

1) Rule of law no longer exists.

2) No political party is addressing this issue.

3) We've exchanged liberty for security.

4) Our willing acceptance of government domination.

5) We consented to become slaves of said government.

'Everyone' consented long ago to live on a 'reservation'. The United Reservation of America.

Your only as 'free' as long as you stay within the limits of that.

Denninger frequently makes sense, except it’s hard to pay attention to him when he voted for Obama.

Who do you mean ‘’we’’? I didn’t vote for this Bozo. The Founders left us a remedy for this and though it’s treason to even suggest applying a 2nd. Amendment solution(thank you John Adams) for God Sakes they didn’t put in there to fill up space or because the words sounded pithy. They just thought at the time it would never have to be used. Were the Founders alive today you can bet by God they wouldn’t have been sitting still.

The remedy is an orderly secession of a state or states. Revolution will not work.

And become a Balkanized nation? What do we do with the military? Who gets the Navy and the Marine Corps?

Believe it or not the people in the military have home states! What a concept, they would join the military of the newly Confederated States or stay in the US military. Even a pea brain can understand that, well ...

He knew in ‘08 that McCain was 100% guaranteed to stink.

He thought The Won had only a 99% chance of stinking (thought many of us knew it was 1000%).

I’ve seen no indication he made that mistake in ‘12.

The nation is too large and to divided to continue to be governed by an elite political class in DC that extorts 4 trillion dollars a year from those outside the beltway, skims off the top for themselves and their friends, and then deficit spends even more in exchange for votes to keep itself and the Federal apparatchiks living in fat city.

They can only continue this tyranny through the use and threat of violent force and intimidation.

The free states must refuse to participate in the monstrosity on the Potomac by refusing to send vote for or send representatives to Congress, not sending income taxes to the IRS, and by forming alliances with other states of like mind.

The Governors have National Guard at their disposal and must be ready to use them for defense if the Washingtonians invade their territory.

The greatest threat to the freedom and liberty of the US Citizen is the Federal Apparatus in DC, not a bunch of towelheads in the middle east and the ones that DC has let infiltrate the American Continent.

Ragheads would have to leave the new federations of free states.

President Davis said it best:

"The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language."

Ok dude, and those military who serve in the Navy and live in a state that has a coastline with either the Pacific, the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico, then what? “pea brain’’? Ah Jeez dude, and just when I thought you might not be half bad at all you gotta drop a turd in the punch bowl. You can take some folks out of the barn yard but you can’t take the barn yard out of some folks...

Karl is a libertarian, he says he wrote in “beelzebub” in the last election.
