That is a very impressive list of offenses you have there. If I was George Washington, and the king of England threw that kind of legalese at me, I might of just called it quits and went home. Consent of the governed, that is what we have lost. Attempts at secession will only be met with force and bloodshed by the federal government, because they are playing by their own rules now, and we really have no say in the matter anymore.

Perpetrating a bank robbery, advocating secession, or engaging in other potentially illegal conduct is hardly the way to win respect or support for the removal of the criminals in government. Not all riots, insurrections, or rebellions are justified or justifiable. Waving around the Declaration of independence and other rhetoric from the War of Independence does not confer legitimacy upon illegitimate insurrections and rebellions. attempts to secede the states can make the advocate of such actions just as much an enemy of conservatives as the Communists are the enemies of conservatives. Conservatives endeavor to preserve the Union not for the sake of preserving a Federal government for its own sake but for the sake of protecting and defending the blessings of liberty and freedom for all persons in all of the states in ways which cannot be accomplished individually or severably. Disunion and its attendant evils are wholly destructive of liberty and freedom, because disunion solidifies criminal control of Federal and state governments.
