Like I said I would stay in my state if it left the union as it once did. You don't get it because the you have acquired the taste for the federal boot. Bootlickers should refrain from disparaging remarks about the South because it looks like fascism.

I have a question if a state or states left the union again would you take up arms against them?

Your state voted for Obama the last two elections and will likely vote for Hillary in the next one. It's not going anywhere.

If a state waged war on my country, sure I would. Just as I would fight back if commies or fascists attempted an armed takeover.

I’m not at all happy with much that is happening here, but the problem is that your position is a small minority position, even in the South, and especially in VA, which is rapidly going purple.

This means that to gain and keep power, your minority would have to overthrow the majority, then disenfranchise them.

That would mean, by definition, that your new system of government would not comply with the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and would therefore equally by definition by anti-American.

Just as the CSA was on some levels. Or, a bit more charitably, that it was an attempt to redefine what being American means.

The problem at root is not the government. It’s the moral deterioration of the people. Changing the government by force will not regenerate them. I’m not sure what will, but I know coups and secession won’t.
