So our choice is communism or communism.
This is beyond funny, it is lunacy.
Secession IS the remedy.
Ping for later

It ok to debate secession and to even oppose the idea. But if you do oppose it use a real argument and not a straw man argument or a red herring. We need a mature real debate on this subject and not childish rhetoric.
Secession isn’t a gift to the communists. They bought and paid for the privilege. Follow the money.
China has significant debt also. I don’t know how the author can label it as a “surplus” nation.
The globalist version of “if you stay home because you lost the primary...”
Heard it enough for decades to spot it in my sleep.
Don’t CA my TX b/c we already Chyna’d my USA.
Praying for secession. I am in a position to leave for a seceding state or group of states tomorrow.
Communists cannot govern except by force. The writing is on the wall when communists take control. You will have to depart communist territory immediately or they will not ALLOW you to leave.
America is NOT one nation under God. It hasn’t been for a VERY long time.
If we cannot vote with a ballot, we must vote with our wheels.
Better for 5 years isn’t better. We have been misfits for long enough.
Divorce is very common in America. That’s what succession is. Taking what’s yours and moving on.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” - Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wake up, Andrew. The split between Constitutional Conservatives and the brain dead, home-grown Marxists is massive. The military is lead by a flock of nancy-boys and wombless women.
The Chinese sees a tottering nation led by their lap dog. Checkmate.
While I can’t disagree with his opinion regarding China’s ultimate objective and I agree that we must keep the republic intact, Mr. Longman misses a number of key points and confuses many others.
The size and complexity of the PLA (which includes the Army, Navy and Air Force) and its technological advances are due primarily to two factors: theft of intellectual property and classified information, much of which was obtained with the assistance of collaborators inside the United States, including the federal government. The alleged sale of 68 Cray mainframe computers to China in 1993 all but assured that the PLA would be able to take advantage of the information they were given or filched.
In terms of economics and US domestic policy, the Chinese almost certainly have more collaborators at large throughout the US than they do inside all three branches of the federal government. Is there any doubt that even victims of the US education system know that small businesses are the foundation of the US economy and capitalism in general? Nonetheless, multiple governors are more than willing to “lock down” their respective states and impose all manner of restrictions and edicts on the citizenry because of “COVID” - the current, universal excuse for everything unconstitutional and objectionable, the only result of which is the wholesale destruction of small business by the hundreds of thousands.
I won’t belabor all of his points, but get to the essence; the United States is in the midst of an insurgency. China has bought US companies; the media, including the news media, movie industry, entertainment and social media; significant influence throughout academia; and politicians at every level of government, including, in my opinion, at least two former presidents, the “president-elect,” his family and more than a few members of his proposed cabinet. What Mr. Longman and most “experts” are missing is that all of this amounts to the fact that the United States is in the throes of a full-blown insurgency, with all of the necessary components in place and active.
With their control of the media at all levels, the Chinese are controlling the vast majority of public messaging today. There is more than circumstantial evidence that, like drugs and precursor chemicals, fake ballots were printed in China and shipped to the United States via Canada and Mexico. How much of the materiel provided to Antifa, BLM and their analogs came from China? I could go on, but what the United States needs now - not in 2024 - is a coordinated, domestic counterinsurgency policy and program and leaders with the moral courage to declare what is happening right now is a bona fide insurgency. We need to recognize that there are belligerents and collaborators throughout our country who are wittingly and unwittingly acting on behalf of the insurgency, whether they are bona fide communists or “merely” corrupt, and we need to “declassify everything,” name names, release the details and take pictures of the arrests - lots of them.
When a country is as polarized with irreconcilable differences of values and identities as ours is right now,there will either be a struggle ending in victory and domination by one side over the other, or a separation, or a voluntary submission of one side to the other, or a mutual destruction leading to a synthesis. One of these results is necessary to resolve the inner conflicts.
“We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America.”
“Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government.”
So, secession is a gift to foreign communists, but submission to domestic communists in their pay is just fine?
I’m not advocating secession, but surely someone can come up with a better reason against it than that.
a real worthless article.
secession is fine as long as we don’t have to fight another civil war. That would likely take an amendment so isn’t likely but good for us conservatives if it ever becomes practical.
Even better is let Cali,Ore,Wash,Hawaii go form another country. Our electoral chances would improve!
