Our state governments represent the last line of defense for our individual liberties short of mob-style public revolution.

That, Sir, depnds on the particular state. Why we allow a man to become less free depending on what state he resides in concerns me.

When I think of the difference between my Sweet Home Alabama and Massachusetts, for example, I shudder at the thought of ever going North again.

Tyranny needs to be fought everywhere, and Liberty promoted as our National Religion.

That's why the "moving box" is listed as one of the boxes of liberty. It was viable, before all the onerous laws became federal. The left does this on purpose, so that you cannot escape.

Keep this in mind if you think they'll let seceding states go peacefully.

No argument from me on that one.... But the federal government right now represents THE biggest threat... because it is the one greatly overreaching, and apparently hell bent on marginalizing the constitution. The checks and balances on the states is inter-state competition for residents.
