Sadly, if a state attempted to leave this WONDERFUL federal government we have in place today, the Lincoln/Yankee lovers would side with obama. It’s a waste of time to argue.

After my blood boils a little and I get into it with one of these guys and I realize their first post contains the word “rebel”, I know I’m talking to a piece of hardwood. Our Founding Fathers, including my g-g-g-g-g-grandfather who signed the Mecklenberg Resolution and was given 1,000 acres for serving in the NC Militia at Cowpens, were rebels. Those fighting for the confederacy were not rebels. They were “leavers”.

Hmm ~ McConnell relative?

Emanuel McConnell, who was with the South Carolina forces of freedom from beginning to end, even when it was down to just 3 guys, took his Revolutionary War patents in Kentucky. His chillun' moved on to Indiana and North Dakota ~ except for a remnant who stayed in Kentucky.

So, Cowpens?

Obama is into black nationalism. They’d like their own country. I’m sure many people would welcome that ~ the occupants of the selected “new country’ might not of course.

BS The difference is secession for a cause such as the founders declared independence for, taxation without representation, or the perpetuation of slavery that the south seceded over. The federal government has been out of control since FDR. Secession should be looked at.

By the way, FDR never lost a southern state, so don't get any ideas that the south is not immune to overreach by the feds. The 1861 attempted secession was an abomination to freedom, we should look to 1776 as our inspiration.
