So we push them out. I like it. Can we put up border fences then?
I have thought of it this way.
Conservatives seek only to control their own destiny. Leftists seek to control us.
Control of your fellow man is not a God given right. The Left needs to control their own impulses for intruding on another’s rights and liberty, or, as the author suggests, leave.
With all the differences that have appeared in our society it is likely that some of them or in fact irreconcilable. I will never be in favor of redistribution of the wealth and I suspect my liberal counterpart cannot bear ceasing to try and control me. On these things I think that we will never come to a meeting of the minds. To that I say so be it. You go your way and I will go mine. As it is there are more conservatives in America than there are liberals. If you looked at the most liberal states you would essential have the northeast, Chicago (not all of Illinois is communist), Wisconsin, and California. These total a dozen far left leaning states including the District of Columbia.
To these I say bye bye as you are herewith removed from the United States of America and are now free to go about whatever agenda you wish. We conservatives and moderates will maintain the Government of the United States of America only with fewer states; and of course and new capitol (oh I love this part), a brand new congress, and a shiny new president. These people must all be vetted and back-door appointment not allowed. As America we hold title to the dollar, George Washington, the Constitution, and the US Military. We will however allow any leftist in any state or job to leave before we expatriate these states.
We have the majority. We have the desire. We have the motivation and the right. The only thing lacking is the doing. This is a very non-violent thing and we wish our liberal brethren ever success with their skewed philosophies. Perhaps in the cleansing of America of what ails her we can bring about another 200+ years of prosperity and leadership to the world.
The doing of this idea I think is very realistic. We don’t need walls or to change our IDs but the new United Socialist States may need or desire those things. May I suggest tattoos on their forehead or hands. As they tell it now we are to be feared more than anything. In their minds nothing is more dangerous than a “Conservative”. Of course there would be some changes for those folk. Without our money Nancy would have to give up her plane and, and… Come to think of it they won’t need Nancy anymore, or Harry, or Barry O. Oh well. You have to break eggs to make an omelet.
Back here in the Great US of A we could start up our self-sufficiency again. We could fire up our steel mills and start paying farmers to grow crops again. It would be so great to see America back doing what she does best, leading the way. Sure we could trade with other countries, just not at the expense of American jobs and we could put strict limits on the numbers of lead painted toys we import. We could even end entitlements due to the number of new jobs available in manufacturing and farming. Surely we have some folks who would take those jobs now. Then again, they may have all moved to the United Socialist States. You can’t win them all.
The only way secession would work is if a state were willing to refuse ALL federal money.
“Secession or Expatriation”?
How about outright overthrow?
Bastards obviously aren’t following our wants and needs, so?
Not so simple. The left will control you or kill you. In this, it is exactly the same as islam.
“Secession or Expatriation?”
Neither. What’s needed, at the appropriate moment, is a constitutional convention.
38 conservative states will dictate terms to the 12 liberal states.
Highest on my agenda would be federal initiative and referendum. When a bribed and insane Congress passes an atrocity like Obamacare, an aroused populace needs the right to put it on the ballot and overturn it. In Switzerland it takes 100,000 signatures; extrapolating by population you’d want to require 4,000,000 signatures here in the USA to get something on the November ballot. The Swiss carefully studied our great achievements of 1787 and then improved on them. Let’s learn from their experience!
Another Swiss idea I like is a plural executive. Instead of having a full-scale revolution every 4 years like we do, they have a Federal Council of 7 executives that changes only slowly over time. While a single President is undoubtedly best if the person happens to be George Washington, getting stuck with a Marxist Muslim in total control for 4 years is too great a risk to take. Let’s never do it again!
Neither, bud. Any one who doesn’t stay and fight for their God-given rights ain’t worth shit.
