Ron Mexico, on Blight Wing Snooze, on the joint League of the South – Middlebury Institute meeting on peaceful secession in Chattanooga yesterday:
If you don’t like how things are run in this country, you can always leave and go somewhere else, but no states are going to be allowed to secede from the Union.
We’ve already fought a Civil War over that issue and we would fight another one if need be, although it’s highly doubtful these goofs could ever get enough sway in a state to actually pull off a secession.
Or, to put his own attitude more succinctly, while quoting Mr. Hawkins’s intellectual idol:
“All power through the barrel of a gun.” — Mao Zedong
