  • Democracy Does Not Produce Accountability

    Feb 3, 2020, 1:36 PM Democratic representatives are not accountable in any measurable way other than to throw out the entire party via cyclical dissatisfied with status quo. P-Law constrains them to truthful reciprocal constitutional speech, requires stated terms, subjects them to legal prosecution. So that they are accountable for their party actions; for the commitments they made; liable for the constitutionality of legislation and regulation they sign; and for their display word and deed. That’s accountability.

  • We Aren’t Seeking Converts

    Feb 3, 2020, 2:09 PM by Luke Weinhagen We are looking for those that recognize our solution, and have any desire at all to address the issues while we have any say in what the solutions look like. We are not recruiting. Recruiting and converting gives the impression we need you. We don’t. You need us.

  • Thomas Jefferson recommended an uprising evert twenty years

    Feb 3, 2020, 8:17 PM by Skye Steward and Thomas Jefferson Imperialists hate secession. Thomas Jefferson recommended an uprising evert twenty years 🤔: —“What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? What country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.” —-Letter to William Stephens Smith. Paris Nov. 13. 1787

  • The 20th Experiment in Cosmopolitanism Failed

    Feb 3, 2020, 10:02 PM The constitution failed when men failed: they denied southerners sovereignty – the premise upon which the constitution is founded. And it failed for no other reason than to prevent the agrarian south from control of the continent isolating the puritan industrial north from control over western expansion. The only reason Lincoln didn’t continue the existing repatriation of slaves to africa was the cost. yet what was the cost of 500,000 lives, our constitution, and our sovereignty? Why? Because white men – Pres. Lincoln in this case – granted black leaders at the time their sovereignty by asking it of them. To lead it. Rather than for americans to force it. Why do we make the same mistake today with all other aliens? If you seek to take our sovereignty, then by reciprocity we shall seek to take yours. If you cannot or will not integrate then we have no choice but to separate.
