I should never have to tag a post with "Secession." Moving right along...
Having grown up in Virginia, I'm well aware of the propensity of batsh*t lunacy: this is the state whose Republican Party nominated Ollie North for Senate. But Republican VA state delegate nominee Catherine T. Crabill has elevated the lunacy to a whole new level. To start with, she's an Oklahoma City bombing truther. But Crabill veers from the lunatic to the outright dangerous:
Crabill... claimed the Obama administration is pursuing legislation that will turn it into "the thought police" and wants to put Americans in "the chains of slavery." Crabill's plan to stop Obama? Follow Texas Governor Rick Perry's lead and declare Virginia's sovereignty from the United States of America:
What would I do as a state delegate? ... I would like to follow in the footsteps of the great state of Texas and Governor Rick Perry ... They were reasserting their tenth amendment right to sovereignty.
And what if Rick Perry's sovereignty gambit doesn't work?
We have a chance to fight this battle at the ballot box before we have to resort to the bullet box. I am glad for all of us who enjoy the use of firearms for hunting, but make no mistake, that was not the intent of the Founding Fathers. Our second amendment right was to guard against tyranny.
Amazingly, Crabill managed to to take things a step further, saying that the time had arrived for people to decide "here and now" what to live for and what to die for.
What we need to decide here and now is not only what is worth living for, but what is worth dying for. And it is time to make that determination because we may very well be called to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. In fact, I think, I think that's what the clarion call is for this day. Apparently, Crabill's first choice is to get her way through democratic means, but failing that, she is prepared to fight a civil war.
Maybe her reluctance to fight a civil war makes her a moderate? Because the last civil war Virginia helped foment turned out really well.
Could you imagine if a Democrat said anything like this? There would be non-stop cable and nightly news bloviating about the Democrats' 'treason problem' or something.
When are the Republican Party and the conservative movement going to be held accountable for this lunacy?
“Mike the Mad Biologist”... LOL, 2ndDivisionVet, you dig up some real pantloads!
I think this needs a BARF alert.
Sonds like the incoherent ramblings of a liberal that doesn’t really understand the world.
A couple months ago, I saw Judge Andrew Napolitano give a talk. He mentioned that the real purpose of the second amendment was for those times when you had to shoot the government. He actually used the words “shoot the government”.
Just say “NO” to drugs! Pondering your genitals all day does not make one a biologist.

I like that phrase, it has a nice ring to it, “shoot the Government.”
Constitution=treason?
The difference between Democrats and Conservatives is that when the Dims say that stuff it is because they want to trash the Constitution and turn us into a land of controlled robots, but when we Conservatives talk about it we want to have the people of this country regain the freedoms and liberties espoused by our founding fathers.
Get Federal Government out of our lives! The backlash is building!
Fixed it.
LH:
“I do it all for the children.” Whatever the heck that means... LOL
Answer to your question: “Because the last civil war Virginia helped foment turned out really well.”
There’s a group of dimwitted racist “The south shall rise again” nuts on FR who think things will work out better this time around.
Here’s the situation that Jim Robinson should address as soon as possible. We aren’t against the government. We ARE the government. We are against the politicians who are violating the Constitution and disobeying the laws this country was built on.
A Civil War, Revolutionary War or anarchy would be a disaster for this nation. We need something that will tell the unlawful lawmakers they are looking at the beginnings of the French Revolution. We won’t start a war against our neighbors or the military and police. We will start a war against the politicians who write crimes into the law.
Secession does not equate to war. Only the “Preservationists” see it that way. A state or states doesn’t leave, seperate, and then go to war with the other half. Doesn’t pass the laugh test.
Tory blood pumps thru your Federal Boot Licking viens.
Closet Lib, you are stereotyping just like them.
Put very well, but I don't think that it is "we" who are starting the war. We are being compelled.
You know, when Andrew Jackson was President, at one ball, he made a toast:
“The Union forever!”
The great South Carolina statesman and vice-president, John C. Calhoun,who was also his protagonist, then made a toast:
“After Liberty, Union!”
Calhoun was right.
The US as a NATION was never supposed to exist. The US was supposed to remain a Union.
The US, as described by the Constitution, has not existed for some time. And unfortunately, most of our neighbors in the north and on the West Coast was nothing like the union described therein. Quite simply, they was socialism or communism, and they will not rest until they have it.
And they have us outnumbered.
However, many of us Constituionalists still dream of they freedom that our fathers had.
It matters not what happened in the last civil war.
All that matters is the answer to this question:
Are YOU willing to be a slave?
I wish you well in your chains, my friend.
Read my last sentence again.
