Ok, that brings us right up today's issues my FRiend, I feel no obligation to Pelosi, Ried and Obama to pay the tab for their statist socialist experiment, they are running up bill's their and your butt can't pay. You are right with them, way to go, you have nice friends.

And your Constitutional justification for that is...?

PS: there was no deficit in 1860.

Actually there was. About $65 million

Ah yes, Ft. Sumpter. Yankees were asked to leave nicely, couldn't do it.

Why should they? It was federal property.

Let's end this. I have one more bottom line question (my fifth bottom line but who is counting)

Here goes, if it were to go down again, split roughly the same way. Would you join in on the Federal or the break away state(s) side? Choose now, It should be easy to answer because slavery has nothing to do with it now.

Answer this and I leave you alone forever.

I need none. I don't see the Constitution as having any authority over the Federal government's behavior anymore. To them it is a living document, to me it was mortally wounded by FDR, killed by LBJ and buried by Nixon and Carter. That's my perception, as an adult I have to make rational judgments; if they aren't going to follow the rules then why should any state be forced to?.

That's the NS philosophy in a nutshell. You (and yankees in general) would cheerfully go along with Hitler's gassing of millions of Jews if it were constitutionally justifiable.
