It's past time to get the torches and pitchforks ready.

This country is history. We are being looted like Nola after Katrina. All future politics will be squabbling ethnic rivals or special interest groups demanding goodies in exchange for their support. Sorry bu5t its time to stick a fork in the USA.

The revolution needs to start sometime and I feel it is waaaaaaay past due. I won't let this country go down under the the current incompetent, racially motivated, sanctimonious, sniveling leftie bastard asswipes. It's time to take this country back and put the children out to pasture.

Preferably, America will be angered enough by the time next year’s election at Chairman Zero's rampant looting and mismanagement of our great country and children’s future to vote out enough of his liberal Democraps to derail or gridlock the rest of Obama’s communist agenda. The country will survive Obama, albeit after he inflicts some heavy damage and massive debts that will take years to repair. It’s a shame, despite the weak Republican field last year, that so many idiots threw away their votes on this statist charlatan and bought into his collectivsm. In any respect, if things ever get too bad (we’re not quite there yet) don’t ever let a liberal ever tell you that the American people don’t have the right, duty and mandate to overthrow a tyrannical government, or else for states to secede from the Union. These rights are rights retained by the people and individual states - not the federal government … although you would never hear this from the useless liberal media or useless civics classes that pass for public education these days. ---

As Abraham Lincoln, who dealt with a Civil War and bitter division of the country, so wisely recognized:

We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.

Texas provides a recent example of one state that still has courageous individuals who understand the state's inherent right to thwart tyranny through secession. Neither the Texas Constitution, nor the Constitution of the United States, explicitly or implicitly disallows the secession of Texas (or any other "free and independent State") from the United States. Joining the "Union" was ever and always voluntary, rendering voluntary withdrawal an equally lawful and viable option.
Where the Constitution does speak to the issue of powers, they resolve in favor of the states unless expressly granted to the federal government or denied to the states. No power to prevent or reverse secession is granted to the federal government, and the power to secede is not specifically denied to the states; therefore that power is retained by the states, as guaranteed by the 10th Amendment.


Texas Constitution (in Article 1, Section 1) that "Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States..." (note that it does not state "...subject to the President of the United States..." or "...subject to the Congress of the United States..." or "...subject to the collective will of one or more of the other States...")
In April 2009, Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas, appeared to endorse a resolution supporting Texan sovereignty at a Tea Party in Austin, Texas, following a question from a reporter.
"There's a lot of different scenarios. Texas is a unique place. When we came into the union in 1845, one of the issues was that we would be able to leave if we decided to do that ... My hope is that America, and Washington in particular, will pay attention. We've got a great union. There's absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, who knows what may come of that? But Texas is a very unique place, and a pretty independent lot to boot."
Rep. Ron Paul defended Rick Perry on this, and had some great comments.
“Perry really stirred some of the liberal media, where they started screaming about: 'what is going on here, this is un-American.' I heard one individual say 'this is treasonous to even talk about it.' Well, they don't know their history very well, because when you think about it... it is very American to talk about secession. That's how we came in being. Thirteen colonies seceded from the British and established a new country. So secession is a very much American principle. What about all the strong endorsements we have give the past decade or two to all the republics that seceded from the soviet system? We were delighted about it.”
A list of justifications may be presented supporting the right to secede, including:
• The right to liberty, free association and private property
• Consent as important democratic principle; will of majority to secede should be recognized
• Making it easier for states to join with others in an experimental union
• Dissolving such union when goals for which it was constituted are not achieved
• Self-defense when larger group presents lethal threat to minority or the government cannot adequately defend an area
• Self-determination of peoples
• Preserving culture, language, etc. from assimilation or destruction by a larger or more powerful group
• Furthering diversity by allowing diverse cultures to keep their identity
• Rectifying past injustices, especially past conquest by a larger power
• Escaping “discriminatory redistribution,” i.e., tax schemes, regulatory policies, economic programs, etc. that distribute resources away to another area, especially in an undemocratic fashion
• Enhanced efficiency when the state or empire becomes too large to administer efficiently
• Preserving “liberal purity” (or “conservative purity”) by allowing less (or more) liberal regions to secede
• Providing superior constitutional systems which allow flexibility of secession
• Keeping political entities small and human scale through right to secession
On February 17, 2009, Texas House Concurrent Resolution 50 was introduced. The resolution reads in part:
RESOLVED, That the 81st Legislature of the State of Texas hereby claim sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That this serve as notice and demand to the federal government, as our agent, to cease and desist, effective immediately, mandates that are beyond the scope of these constitutionally delegated powers; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That all compulsory federal legislation that directs states to comply under threat of civil or criminal penalties or sanctions or that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding be prohibited or repealed.

I hope you are wrong about the U.S. being over mandy … there is still time to correct her course … and, although I am not advocating secession of Texas at this time, as a last resort ... if you prove to be right, we may all be one day need to say… God Bless the United States and Long Live the Republic of Texas.

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."

Unfortunatly, Lincoln also said that he would support New England at the time they were refusing to obey either the Constitution or Federal law.

Tie the bitch to the chair and start blasting some Metallica in her ears until she comes up with some answers.
Get rid of the pearls and the jewelery and bring me a 3 ft long piece of garden hose.

If examples of irresponsibility and unaccountability such as this are seen and understood by the general populace, hopefully that would result in all of these people being voted out or otherwise removed from office.
Shooter has it right:
"Where the f*ck is the f*ckin' money?"
"I dunno."
"You're fired."

I can't wait for the massive firing/hiring/restructuring that is surely coming. I don't care which side they're on. If they neglect their job responsibilities in a manner such as this, get them out.
