Secession or Expatriation?

With all the differences that have appeared in our society it is likely that some of them or in fact irreconcilable. I will never be in favor of redistribution of the wealth and I suspect my liberal counterpart cannot bear ceasing to try and control me. On these things I think that we will never come to a meeting of the minds. To that I say so be it. You go your way and I will go mine. As it is there are more conservatives in America than there are liberals. If you looked at the most liberal states you would essential have the northeast, Chicago (not all of Illinois is communist), Wisconsin, and California. These total a dozen far left leaning states including the District of Columbia.

To these I say bye bye as you are herewith removed from the United States of America and are now free to go about whatever agenda you wish. We conservatives and moderates will maintain the Government of the United States of America only with fewer states; and of course and new capitol (oh I love this part), a brand new congress, and a shiny new president. These people must all be vetted and back-door appointment not allowed. As America we hold title to the dollar, George Washington, the Constitution, and the US Military. We will however allow any leftist in any state or job to leave before we expatriate these states.

We have the majority. We have the desire. We have the motivation and the right. The only thing lacking is the doing. This is a very non-violent thing and we wish our liberal brethren ever success with their skewed philosophies. Perhaps in the cleansing of America of what ails her we can bring about another 200+ years of prosperity and leadership to the world.

The doing of this idea I think is very realistic. We don’t need walls or to change our IDs but the new United Socialist States may need or desire those things. May I suggest tattoos on their forehead or hands. As they tell it now we are to be feared more than anything. In their minds nothing is more dangerous than a “Conservative”. Of course there would be some changes for those folk. Without our money Nancy would have to give up her plane and, and… Come to think of it they won't need Nancy anymore, or Harry, or Barry O. Oh well. You have to break eggs to make an omelet.

Back here in the Great US of A we could start up our self-sufficiency again. We could fire up our steel mills and start paying farmers to grow crops again. It would be so great to see America back doing what she does best, leading the way. Sure we could trade with other countries, just not at the expense of American jobs and we could put strict limits on the numbers of lead painted toys we import. We could even end entitlements due to the number of new jobs available in manufacturing and farming. Surely we have some folks who would take those jobs now. Then again; they may have all moved to the United Socialist States. You can't win them all.

America's best Hope is Her People

For nearly a year now, many have remarked at what a momentous time it is in America; referencing the election of the first black president. Yet, for many Americans the honeymoon was short lived. Soon we recognized that our new Bridegroom, Obama, was not the One he appeared to be but the one we feared him to be. Obama began, not by bringing the change he promised, but rather the change he envisioned and had hidden in his heart.

Observing Obama and his style of governing has been the topic of many of my blogs. I often find in his past the evidence that should have screamed out to us what he would do, how he would govern, whom he would empower, and those he would hope to destroy.

Today I find myself reflecting upon recent events and pondering how we got here. It is said that history is the best teacher and with that in mind I read some. Below an excerpt of one of the most famous documents in American History. I think it might benefit some of us to refresh it in our minds. Do you know this Document? Read it slowly and aloud. Hear it again for the first time.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

While the first line is so familiar I think recollection tends to fall off for the majority of us after that. Did you guess the Constitution? These words come from the Declaration of Independence. For me they are the foundation that the Constitution was laid upon. Notice what it says about the reason of government…

“…governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Do you ever feel that you are responding to the government or fear it or its power? Do you feel that the government is responsive to you? Yes? No? And what does it say about the rights of the people?

Now hear me clearly, I am not for violence nor am I for cessation. What I am for is a government that is responsive to the people: the governed. When I see “town halls” packed full of “plants” and the ordinary people locked out I become concerned. When I hear “Administration Officials” and even the President himself making light of our concerns, I become even more concerned. And, when I cannot get my representatives to hear nor consider my grievances, I become alarmed. And when I find that the Obama Administration has created its own media and the means of controlling the Mainstream Media, my spirit groans within me.

It is my firm belief that Americans are speaking up and that government is denying “the validity of that Right”. To that end I encourage you to recognize and commit yourself to changing that government. If you have found yourself concerned enough to be reading this far, you are concerned enough to finish your God given right. Put these tainted bureaucrats out of office. Vote. March. Protest. Let your voice be heard. Speak kindly to everyone but be heard. Hide from no one. Be bold.

Hillel, a famous Jewish scholar, wrote:

“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?"
