Ron Paul Supports Secession

Crazy Ron Paul, the whack-a-doodle who has managed to attract a couple of million like minded followers, has now decided, in his less than infinite wisdom, that those disenchanted with the election should secede from the union because, well, that’s their right. Personally speaking I think those who want to give up their American citizenship and form a more perfect union elsewhere, Somalia perhaps, should be allowed, nay, encouraged to do so.

First, voters in 20 states reacted to President Obama’s re-election by signing petitions to secede from the union. Then all 50 states got on board. Now, it’s Ron Paul’s turn to trumpet the notion of breaking away, Salon reports. “Is all the recent talk of secession mere sour grapes over the election or perhaps something deeper?” asks Ron Paul in his weekly newsletter and audio address. “Secession is a deeply American principle. … Some thought it was treasonous to secede from England, but those ‘traitors’ became our country’s greatest patriots.” “If the possibility of secession is completely off the table there is nothing to stop the federal government from continuing to encroach on our liberties, and no recourse for those who are sick and tired of it,” he goes on. “And if people or states are not free to leave the United States as a last resort, can they really think of themselves as free?” With Paul planning to quit Congress this year, his address may be something of a libertarian adieu to American politics.

So as we understand each other I support those who want to leave America, and build their own country. They will have to give up the protection, the social security, medicare, police, roads, bridges, infrastructure, and start all over again, but that’s OK. Why they could elect Ron Paul as their president, although I doubt he would be up for the job. He’s been feeding from the public trough for far too long.
