The removal of the Confederate flag from Amherst County's official seal has upset Southern heritage groups, who contend residents weren't told of the change. County officials acknowledge the image was quietly removed in August 2004 to avoid an uproar.

Shout it from the rooftops: M. Espinola is a statist. A central government troooper, a believer in the inherent power of the United States of Washington, D.C. to be our deliverer and our redeemer. Never let any man say that M. Espinola has anything other than true allegiance to the Central Party.
You should be ashamed. You should be so ashamed. Bow down and lick the hand that feeds you. Pull up your socks and get ready to do the bidding of the state. You are shameless.
The overwhelming majority of conservatives either ignore the frenzied outbursts of your delirious clique of modern day crazy confederates, or are not even aware such unglued, anti-American, "Dixie Republic" instigating insurrectionist's still exist.
I hope your gleeful about the illegal alien subversives. Maybe you can tag team, united in destroying the United States of America - grow up schmuck.
You mean the same facility you continuously escape from?
Make that a HotWheels(tm) tank, and I agree.
It has been said repeatedly that the sovereignty of the United States comes from the American People.
That has not been said repeatedly, and is more rediculous than many of your other arguments. Your claim is that the same people who were one day earlier "His Majesty's Royal Subjects" were at once part of a nonexistent nation/union, without being part of a state, but an 'ex-colony,' and now they granted sovereignty?
Independence was won on the battlefield, and granted through the Paris Peace Treaty, which has already been quoted back to you ad-nauseum. Develop some facts, not more poor self-aggrandizement and poor analogies.
It sure as hell wasn't an "ex-colony," whatever the hell that means.
No it was a territory. It became a state when Congress voted to admit it. The other states, in effect, created the state of Alabama and every state after the the original 13. If approval of the other states is required for a state to come into existence in the first place then why should it be so hard to accept that the approval of the other states should be required for a state to be removed?
Play ground retort. Do you also yell are so?
Sorry if I got you where it hurts, the truth.
When speaking in terms of "truth" neo-confederates are last on the list.
Come on now you know stand isn't that good-looking since "the accident".
All the Founders considered themselves Americans and Madison even made a speech at the CC wherein he declared just that and how they were no longer Virginians or Massachusetts men, etc.
According to your way of thought the war which gained our independence should not have even been called the "American" Revolution but the rest of the World knows it as just that.
As regards the meaning of "Sovereignty" and its relation to the states Madison dealt with the pretensions of a true sovereignty claimed by States but never actually is existent. I quoted his remarks (or at least another's report of his remarks at the CC) why don't your discuss what that meant. see #1041

Case closed.
free dixie,sw
Neither is explicitly spelled out. Case open.
The desire for a national government was rejected outright.
Section 3. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.
Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
Now you're saying Congress can't admit a state? That was the basis for your horribly flawed argument in the first place!?
How you could ever stumble into that conclusion based on anything I've posted is beyond me. You must be hearing voices. Again.
What I'm saying is that Congress does more than admit states, it creates them. Alabama did not exist before the other states allowed it to through a vote in Congress. Ohio was just a figment of the people's imagination until Congress admitted it as a state. Since states are created by Congress and since any post-admission change to their status - splitting, combining, changing their border by a fraction of an inch - has to be approved by Congress, then how you all can come to the conclusion that the approval of the other states is not needed before leaving is something that never ceases to amaze me.
If it didn't exist, how was it admitted?
The desire for a General Government which we call a "National" Government arose as early as The Albany Plan of Union in 1754 submitted by the colonies to the King. That desire grew althrough the rest of that century. American was a beloved and almost universally our people considered themselves "Americans".
It is only after the Southern slaveowners degenerated from those who knew it was an Evil to those who praised it as a Good that the pernicious and false doctrine of state sovereignty grew to Traitorous proportions and unleashed the insanity of war upon the Nation.
No one who wrote the Constitution believed the tenth amendment involved ANYTHING but local issues and regulations. It did not allow any "resumption" of a sovereignty which never existed in any case. There was no need to encumber the Constitution with permission to do something so momentous as secession when even far less dangerous things to the Union were explicitly forbidden states.
That would be like claiming it is illegal to assault someone but not to kill them.
Now you are really getting twisted. There were 13 original states. All others DID NOT exist until Congress organized them into territories then admitted them on petition of their inhabitants.
Pursue your chain of thought much further and you will be approaching stand territory.
