A timely re-post of a classic. Chodorov was one of America's truly great thinkers for the cause of liberty. If nothing else, this essay should alert us to what some of us already know all too well - that this Obamunist takeover of what promises to be every sphere of human thought and endeavor has been a long time in the making.

The question is: what are we going to do about it? Do we have the courage to face the answer? And then act?

"If for no other reason, personal pride should prompt every governor and state legislator to take a secessionist attitude; they were not elected to be lackeys of the federal bureaucracy."

namely that divided authority is a good guarantee of freedom.

Brilliant!

As a Texan, if we were to secede, would we have the inflow of patriots from other states to support our cause? (similar to the Alamo time period)

Two things;

I don't care what lawyers think is legal. The federal government is extra-constitutional and has been for the vast majority of the last 100 years. My rights come from God not lawyers.

The reason the federal has become the monster it is, is because the majority of Americans are no longer moral and just. People that take money from government are thieves. They are stealing from their fellow citizens using the government to coerce and effect the transfer. Politicians make laws that take the fruits of my labor and buy votes from thieves. In effect I have become their debt slave. The majority of my fellow citizens think this is OK. And the thievery is implemented by both both local and federal government. This is not moral or ethical. I don't give a d@mn if it is legal. Does anyone really believe this will be stopped “legally”? My fellow citizens will have to be disabused of the idea that they have the right to the fruits of my labor and I don't.

A very good article. However, as a military man, I take offense at this statement:

“Federal tenements, which in practice become enclaves of votes for the party in power, are made possible by exemption from real estate taxes,..”

These “enclaves” are predominately military installations, and they are certainly NOT “tenements” as the term is commonly understood. Furthermore, the military personnel are hardly apt to vote for any party that is anti-constitution, and therefore overwhelmingly vote for conservatives.

“I would put my weight behind a secessionist movement; not secession from the Union, but secession from Washington.”

Alternatively, we can move Washington and make it the capital of Antarctica
