Then again a randomly placed asteroid smack dab in the middle of DC would go a long way too; kind of a 8/10 split from The Lord Himself.

Dear Colonel – I perform a courtly bow. Well said, sir. And EXACTLY the point.

The concentration of power in the District … r.g. host Gilbert’s excellent summation in political class vs. America … is precisely what that hideous war of brother against brother was all about.

That said, it seems to me that History has a way of overturning such criminal behavior even as the ‘victors’ settle in to lick their chops over their spoils. The moment empire is realized the seeds of its destruction are already beginning to blossom. That … and I KNOW we are a nation given to God, the God of our Forefathers. He does not forget Covenant and He is a jealous God. It may not be in my lifetime, for He surely works at a patient pace, but these interlopers and criminals will be destroyed. This Is His Nation.

Like the dollar they control, there is no bottom to how low the liberal elite will go. BTW – what ever happened to the Rahm Emanuel/Blago investigation? No where huh? Wow! They took over & never even fired a shot (Bill Ayer’s Bombings notwitstanding)

Well, I figured all the news were having a contest to be the Obama National Global, World news. Guess they are getting pointers from Iran and Columbia. And the Washington Post says all the news are doing this, and I guess that explains it all.
But, what about ABC refusing to sell commercial time during Obama’s Health Scare hour, that gave a different opinion.
I don’t think the news would even try and be fair and hold auctions and bid
for space in their newspaper for news or ads.

So, slavery is wrong, it’s gone. Lincoln said he went to war foremost to stop the south from leaving the union, slavery or no slavery. So where does that leave say Texas that say it’s written in their laws they can become their own government. Just pretend Texas decided to do this. What would Obama do?

He doesn’t seem to acknowledge state’s. His talk is all nationalism, globalization. He’s just finding new names for socialism and communism. He is for open borders. Everyone getting amnesty.
Obama is not fullfilling the federal law passed to secure our borders, yet he’s telling our border states they can’t do anything without his permission first.
Obama is anti-colonizationing, so he is anit-states. He pity’s his home Country Indonesia, that they are wearing Nikes and have cable TV do to America’s terrible influence on the world, and it has hurt the native women from making a living making and selling their home-made baskets. And all the disappearing grass huts. snif snif. dang they have toilets too. Bad Americans. Bad British for teaching modernization. Anytime feel free to google Indonesia and tell me why we are to blame for their brutality, murdering, and suicide bombings.

Freedom615 , to mirror wardmama’s words. Great work! On occasion, one might take a broadside here, now and again. Never debate a “1st”, or an SJ. here. It only leads to beer drink’in debauchery or spew destroyed computers. The laff’s are great,but somebody has to pay for this.

You folks are becoming my heroes here on S&L.

Colonel, well said and to the point. I did edit my earlier comment to reflect the the fact it was the North doing the reigning in. I post scripted as a “damn yank” to forward my sympathies to the South. Sympathies as in the battle for self government. I’d also like to pick through Jack’s and your library sometime. Good read no doubt.The South may very well do it again, with the help of us reeducated Yanks .

Wardmama, since when have you been shy? Haw-haw!

I won’t get into the Civil War discussion as I admit I am being schooled by the two historical students in my family on that – very eye opening compared to the ‘public’ education I received. However, having said that, I do believe that of late, the distortion/misconception has gotten much, much worse.

I feel Ms Weymouth is only upset about one thing – that she got caught and exposed as the same ilk of lying, scam artist as is Our Fearless Reader.

Freedom615 – great work.

wirenut, without the eloquence nor erudition of GetBackJack, the War of Northern Aggression (as we are wont to call it here in Dixie), was fought to resist the concentration of Federal power in DC versus the rule of the State, what is often called ‘states rights’. Slavery was an issue – and a rallying cry for the masses – but it was a symptom, not the disease. There were many symptoms – as you noted in your post. And as Jack so admirably stated above, most of the problems we have today in the USA can be traced to the overwhelming power in DC and the lack of local and/or state input and/or control.

Forgive my lack of eloquence here, but wasn’t the North/South war more about the North’s reigning in ports,shipping,wealth and freedom in the South? I never did fully accept public school indoctrination of slavery alone. Kind of reminds me of the save the planet types today.

To the tune of “My Favorite Things”

Cap and Trade tariffs, wealth
redistribution;
Socialized health care’s
part of my solution

Assorted taxes and
TARP’s hidden strings;
These are a few of My Socialist Dreams

Daily KOS, HuffPo,
Compliant newspapers;
God bless the U.S.
Whilst I continue to rape her
Chris Matthews tingles
“Things aren’t as bad as they seem”
These are a few of my Socialist Dreams

When the tax hikes
Hit your wallet
When you’re feeling mad
I simply remember my socialist dreams
Then polls they don’t seem so bad….

GetBackJack quoting Lysander Spooner: “The principle, on which the war was waged by the North, was simply this: That men may rightfully be compelled to submit to, and support, a government that they do not want; and that resistance, on their part, makes them traitors and criminals.”

This is well illustrated by a confrontation that occurred on the floor of the U.S. Senate on 1 August 1861. The confrontation was between the former Vice President, Senator John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky, and Senator Edward Baker of Oregon, a friend of Abraham Lincoln.

Senator Breckinridge made a passionate, last-ditch appeal for peace. He accurately predicted the terrible bloodshed, and the devastation of the South, which would follow from a plunge into civil war. In vain he begged the men of the North to set aside their plans for the conquest and subjugation of the South.

Senator Edward Baker of Oregon answered for the North. Baker strode into the Senate in the blue uniform of a U.S. Army colonel, swinging his riding whip, drew his sword and placed it on his desk, and challenged Senator Breckinridge. Baker accused Breckinridge of treason, and stated that Breckinridge should be “hurled from the Tarpeian rock,” according to the custom of the ancient Romans. Baker’s words were widely acclaimed in the North (and are still acclaimed there to this day):

“To talk to us about stopping is idle; we will never stop. …

“These speeches of his… Are they not intended to dull our weapons? Are they not intended to destroy our zeal? …

“When we subjugate South Carolina, what shall we do? We shall compel its obedience to the Constitution of the United States; that is all. … We propose to subjugate rebellion into loyalty; we propose to subjugate insurrection into peace; we propose to subjugate Confederate anarchy into constitutional Union liberty.”

On 4 December the men of the North expelled Senator Breckinridge from the Senate. Having no choice remaining, Breckinridge left the Senate to join the Confederate army, there to defend his people and his State, which was under Northern military occupation. He became the only Vice President ever to take up arms against the United States government.
