OT's Hero All In for Secession

Smaller govts, what a novel idea! Right out of the Tea Party playbook.


Secessionists across the world were inspired by Scotland’s energetic attempt at independence from the United Kingdom earlier this month. Ron Paul, as it turns out, joined them.

In an essay on his eponymous institution’s website Sunday, the former U.S. congressman from Texas wrote that any supporters of freedom should cheer secessionism because it allows for smaller government—a constant mantra for the libertarian and perennial presidential candidate, who didn’t previously realize there were more than a handful of secessionist groups in the United States.

“I was real pleased with that, and a bit surprised,” Paul told National Journal. “But then, on second thought, you think, ‘Why not? Why not more?’ ”

Fringe groups calling for states and regions to secede from the U.S., such as the Second Vermont Republic and the Alaskan Independence Party, gained more publicity in the weeks leading up to the Scottish referendum. As the outsized federal government continues to encroach on individual rights, Paul said, he thinks there will be a groundswell of these movements.

Of course there will be a groundswell...when you see Scotland losing all their resources to a larger population that is giving to non-producers more and more, you kinda feel like someone has just stolen from you.

Being a "have" Province and watching us pay for "do nothings" in other Provinces, I can understand the feeling.

Who knew Paul was an anarchist, neo-nazi skin-head, posse come-and-get-us?

OT may be one too. All his BS talk may be a way of covering his tracks and keeping the heat off himself. :lol: :lol: Maybe someone ought to drop a dime on him? :lol:

I am not in favor of succession .. as we are a nation and shouldn't be broken up..

I feel more could be done at the state and local level to solve the disenfranchised voters...

just let states vote and decided if they are so bitterly split by the liberals politics of exclusion,..

we would be up to 57 states in no time flat...
