[ Assuming Hillary Clinton defeats Trump, with the selection of liberal justices to the Supreme Court and the extension of the pervert revolution of Obama, secession may be the only means to save at least some of the states from absolute depravity and a dictatorship of the left. Whether the Constitution permits secession of a state is not relevant. That document has been a dead letter since the New Deal. Whether the failed Southern secession was due to a desire to preserve liberty or save slavery is not relevant. We are not talking about tariffs or human chattel but the prevention of a long era of tyranny as Russia suffered for over 70 years. ]

Very good point there

[Wallace T.]

Any time there is a discussion of secession, there is a renewal of the opposing arguments of 150 years ago: Yankees vs. Rebels. Just like Catholics and Protestants brawling over points of theology while the anti-Christian agenda advances with little real resistance. Whether the South was right or wrong is irrelevant to our situation in 2016 and beyond. We have a Constitution that does not directly address the issue. That document has also been a dead letter for over 80 years, basically since the New Deal. I am sure the Yugoslav, Soviet, and Czechoslovakian constitutions forbade secession, but it took place nonetheless. Likewise with our own independence from the British Empire in 1776. If the election of Hillary Clinton occurs in November, secession by the Southern and Plains states will be the best option to preserve any vestige of old America.
