"Do you think the south just decided to declare war because they had nothing better to do? States rights vs. federal rights. You need to research your history because it''s about to repeat itself." -- Serf_1

I am fully aware of the history and do not "need to research" it any more. I took multiple history classes in college, including early American history, which included the civil war years, and was taught by southerner who went to great pains to give the southern point of view.

So you think history is "about to repeat itself"? By that, do you mean the southern re.tards are going to try to succeed from the union again? You are speaking about TREASON, and should you attempt it, it won''t be tolerated this time around, either!

"He was flawed," Gates said. "He was a human being just like we were. He was a recovering racist."


"Fourscore and seven years ago," it began, "our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."


... psssst someone forgot to tell that to the KKK, White Aryans, White Nation et al., et cet., that seem to think WHITEs rule planet earth what with their blonde hair and blue eyes ... and now we the working class are bailing out the wealthiest of Americans who are WHITEs what a flipping joke...

Yeah, well, I was just thinking, if the
South rises, that would put it in North.

Two Norths, no South, interesting.

from The Declaration of Independence:

..."That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of 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. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

States do not now, nor ever had the right to secede. The USA can only expand, it cannot contract. There is no getting out. If we go down we all go down together- that''s the pact we made when signing on. You have a constitution and you have representation; use them.

Abraham Lincoln was the biggest liar, coward, and mass murderer in American history. He called for troops to murder citizens who exercised their constitutional right of disunion. Note that the famous "Emacipation Proclamation" did NOT free slaves in Northern territory, which shows that (A)He did not consider slavery, as an institution, wrong, and that (B)the Union refused to accept responsibility for the freed slaves, as if they had really been considered contraband of war, it would have required the Union to support the freed slaves as citizens of the state. A more murderous, lying cowardly son-of-a-*** never walked the face of this planet. And his corruption has led directly to the mob rule about to destroy this nation, in the name of "democracy."
