Somebody cut an pasted a Frank Chodorov rant from 1952 into this thread:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2314276/postsAmong other things, Chodorov wrote: "If I were governor of a state, or even a legislator, I would put my weight behind a secessionist movement; not secession from the Union, but secession from Washington. I would do so exactly because I favor the Union, as originally conceived and my advocacy of secession would be based on the same reasoning that prompted initiation of the Union, namely that divided authority is a good guarantee of freedom."
Among the Freeper responses: Many parts of the country are for the most part comfortable with totalitarian government and will never secede. We need one or two large states like Texas and Alaska to secede, others will follow. Personally I think it is wrong to think in terms of states, and more productive to think in terms of counties or congressional districts. For example, there are huge areas of California - on of the “bluest” of states, that would secede if it was practical. If secession were to occur it would require wholesale revision of political boundaries.

Which states do we secede to?
imho The federal reserve is at the base of all corruption.
I'm sure they are involved with states too.
We need to know who cooks the books in US government AND
indivdual states government.
I'm sure if we knew all the lies we would be shocked.

I’m ready for secession. If CO won’t do it then I’ll move to a state that will.

Beck’s a pacifist. He can’t quite wrap his head around the fact that there is no peaceful resolution to the problems we face. The Left has made sure of that.
There are only two choices:
1. Resist with everything you have.
2. Submit.

I can understand how you’d come to that conclusion, but I don’t think Beck’s a pacifist.
I think he’s just trying to “keep a lid on things” until it’s painfully obvious to everyone that the “awkward time” is over.

Two things;
I don't care what lawyers think is legal. The federal government is extra-constitutional and has been for the vast majority of the last 100 years. My rights come from God not lawyers.
The reason the federal has become the monster it is, is because the majority of Americans are no longer moral and just. People that take money from government are thieves. They are stealing from their fellow citizens using the government to coerce and effect the transfer. Politicians make laws that take the fruits of my labor and buy votes from thieves. In effect I have become their debt slave. The majority of my fellow citizens think this is OK. And the thievery is implemented by both both local and federal government. This is not moral or ethical. I don't give a d@mn if it is legal. Does anyone really believe this will be stopped “legally”? My fellow citizens will have to be disabused of the idea that they have the right to the fruits of my labor and I don't.

You've hit it squarely on the head. My response to those who believe that God will save us is that God will not save that upon which so many of us have turned their backs.
We're on our own until we can prove that we deserve to be called free Americans once more. We're going to have to earn that right just as our founders did - and it won't be pretty or cheap.
