God save the South!

This reminds me of that story here in Atlanta where the guy was praying devoutly: "Oh Lord, please let me win the lotto!"

And the voice from on high came down: "I will my son, but you must meet me half way. Buy some lotto tickets!"

The moral of the story?

Don't rear up against the lawful national authority and you won't get slam dunked by the good guys.

Walt:

You have hit the nail on the proverbial head.

The founding fathers wanted very little "national authority"
in the first place. Each state was and is supposed to be sovereign.

Chairman Mao, is that you again? I thought you were feeling a little under the weather? Quote and cut and paste Lincoln drivel all you want, but after such a socialist statement as that you have no right to quote Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton..etc.
