Seceding wouldn’t really fix the problem Sowell is writing about. They would still have the military.

I think it’s ridiculous to even talk about such fantasies when we haven’t even started to fight with the basic tools of rebellion our laws offer us.

Perpetual recall drives of political rats and rinos would be the starting point. We watched it work with Gray Davis and then we just stopped using that wrench. Let them have their street marches while we invest our energy having recall drives.

States that don’t have recall provisions should fight at the state level to have such provisions brought into law.

We watched it work with Gray Davis and then we just stopped using that wrench.

But it didn't work. We got Arnold who is just as bad.

If the electorate is inclined to install leftists in government then there isn't anything we can do. That's why succession may be the only option. Individual states that are already conservative can remove themselves from the tyranny of the Federal Government and insulate themselves from becoming more liberal by enforcing their own borders.
