Hey GOP how come the Confederate Constitution has that their intention was to form a permanent federal government?

It is the intention of any government to perpetuate itself, thus a true libertarian will always recognize that the state - no matter what state it is - is irrepairably separated from the good. That it may be tolerated as an existing evil is a necessary act of pragmatism, but it should never be embraced or worshipped or assigned a status of perpetual goodness. That is why I support the act of secession that the confederacy took even though I am no big fan of the confederate's national government or any government for that matter.

Well, might you tell me what great 'evil' the Federal gov't was responsible for?

Thus, the Confederate Constitution was just a lot of empty noise also, that could have been broke up at the whim of any one state when they did not get their way!

Well, since you are not in favor of any gov't at all, that would explain your lack of concern for the destruction of the United States.

Thank you for finally revealing what you stand for, anarchy.
