There is only one way out from here.
Oh, I’m a good old Rebel
Now that’s just what I am.
For this Yankee nation
I do not give a damn.
I’m glad I fought agin her,
I only wish we’d won.
I ain’t asked any pardon
For anything I’ve done.
Virginia is with you. (At last the part below the Rappahannock River)
There is only one way out from here.
Sadly try as we might we ain’t strong enough to throw em out. We got to be clever and opportunistic cause we ain’t got the bruit force to keep em out.
In this particular case Alabama should demonstrate its contempt for the illegitimate Federal Employee in a black robe and enforce its law anyway.
Warn that Federal employee that obstruction of justice and wanted aid to criminals is indeed itself a crime! That if they attempt to turn their words into unlawful actions they will be hunted down and prosecuted to the full extent of southern law.
Hell I’d like to see the Southern Militia called up as a gesture of southern resolve and a warring against invasion of our State, either from south of the border or from Washington D.C.. But that ain’t going to happen, and to be frank it may end up just string up the imperialist passion of our Yankee masters. We got to be smart, and recognize that politics is the art of the possible.
If we are going to win this fight we are going to have to be clever and opportunistic. We must only engage em when the odds are overwhelmingly in our favor and otherwise uses what influence we have to maneuver them to where to where they will be most vulnerable.
