Secession is not a valid Constitutional concept.

But, if the YObama regime is successful in implementing the Saul Alinsky, Cloward-Priven strategy it will become a moral imperative for those of us that desire to remain free.

The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

What say you, my long time, eternal clinger to the Union, nemesis?

If things ever get really rough due to unconstitutional tyranny, the remedy is the right to revolution as outlined in the Declaration of Independence and upheld by Lincoln, not a non-existent Constitutional concept of secession not found in the Constitution.

Despite the fact we seceded from England and did so after issuing a Declaration that justified same in part on the necessity to have the “consent of the governed” and that “ whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it”.

Indeed between 1803 and 1815 there were no less than three separate public debates on some of the states in New England seceding.

Historian and scholar Thomas DiLorenzo has an excellent lecture on this exact subject. It is available for free download from the Mises.org website:
