And I've said it before, if y'all want to secede then fine. Demonstrate that you have the support of the people in your state, work out settlement on debt and other obligations, reach an equitable accord on government property in the parts that want to leave, and then I'll go to D.C. and lobby on your behalf. I've never been opposed to secession if you go about it the right way. But you want to pull an 1860 and yank your state out regardless of what the people want, walk away - again - from your obligations, and steal - again - anything not nailed down.

I'm sorry. I've forgot... It is only considered theft when Southerners claim "what is rightfully theirs." However in that brain of yours, passing legislation that "legally" not lawfully mind you, forced Southern States to pay their portion and yours is square-dealing.

We more than paid tenfold in advance for any property that you laid claim to. In addition to that, I personally believe you owe us an apology. It would be along these lines:

Dear Southrons,

Please forgive me and the rest of my coven, for the blatant Marxism that we've subjected you, and the rest of our NOT Common Country too. It's all our fault. We've been in denial, now after several visits to Psychologists thanks to Obamacare. We now understand mental processes and behaviors. Basically, we are and always have been statist.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your contempt for the system of government established by the Founders, with it's fancy "laws" and "elections" is well known. Unless you're on the winning side. Then it's all good.

Is that Southron speak for grand theft?

I'm sorry. I've forgot... It is only considered theft when Southerners claim "what is rightfully theirs."

The mindset of the statist is that everything is owned by the central committee/federal government.
