WTF? Georgia Senate Threatens to Secede!

Geor­gia Sen­ate threat­ens dis­man­tling of USA
They real­ly did, by a vote of 43–1. On April 1, but it wasn’t an April Fool’s joke.

The res­o­lu­tion goes on to endorse the the­o­ry that states have the right to abridge con­sti­tu­tion­al free­doms of reli­gion, press and speech. Accord­ing to the res­o­lu­tion, it is up to the states to decide “how far the licen­tious­ness of speech and of the press may be abridged.”
(snip)
Final­ly, the res­o­lu­tion states that if Con­gress, the pres­i­dent or fed­er­al courts take any action that exceeds their con­sti­tu­tion­al pow­ers, the Con­sti­tu­tion is ren­dered null and void and the Unit­ed States of Amer­i­ca is offi­cial­ly dis­band­ed. As an exam­ple, the res­o­lu­tion specif­i­cal­ly states that if the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment enacts “prohibitions of type or quan­ti­ty of arms or ammunition,” the coun­try is dis­band­ed.

You bet­ter believe that I’m writ­ing to our state sen­a­tor right away. Yes, this non­sense was slipped in on day 39 of the 40 day leg­isla­tive ses­sion, but that is absolute­ly no excuse. Our rep­re­sen­ta­tives have no busi­ness vot­ing for any­thing they haven’t thor­ough­ly read, under­stood, and debat­ed. That’s their job!

Yet anoth­er rea­son I don’t want to live in Geor­gia any more. I seri­ous­ly think this is a back­lash against our elec­tion of a black Demo­c­rat to the pres­i­den­cy. I’m look­ing at blue states now.

  Sor­ry, Cyn, but as you know, I’m the polar oppo­site of you on most issues. Its unlike­ly I’ll ever bet back to this blog again. I just don’t fol­low up on these things and for­get about ‘em. But there IS a 10th amend­ment, #1 and sec­ond­ly, its absolute fool­ish­ness to blame all the anger on the fact that we elect­ed a black Pres­i­dent. A real­ly cheap shot to put it blunt­ly. You sup­port a woman’s right to choose to kill her own baby as if it was any less of an abuse because we nev­er look into the eyes of the vic­tim to kill a child before or after birth and in sup­port­ing this choice, you sup­port a Pres­i­dent and a Con­gress who attack many oth­er choic­es through var­i­ous back door means of their own. The Stim­u­lus pack­age which was forced through as an emer­gency was done so with the under­stand­ing that our Con­gress not actu­al­ly read the bill and it includ­ed a health­care sys­tem that takes away doc­tors choic­es on treat­ment options and decides by cost just as a ter­ri­ble HMO like Kaiser does, what kind of help a per­son can get. And if we are to accept Biden’s claims about that part of the bill, he says that Amer­i­cans will just have to real­ize that their 80 year old Grand­moth­er is near the end of her life any­way and she should not get the same kind of treat­ments her grand­kids get and the gov­ern­ment decides who lives and dies and the choice is tak­en away from the patients and fam­i­lies. And now with the Health and Human ser­vices peo­ple, they are try­ing to take away a doctor’s right to make a con­sci­en­tious choice if he is a Chris­t­ian who does not want to kill babies. Anoth­er choice denied by the new Reich is that a Catholic or Chris­t­ian child grow­ing up in today’s regime, if these things go for­ward, will be denied the rights to enter into cer­tain job fields like med­i­cine by the restric­tions to their reli­gious rights. This is much like what hap­pened in Eng­land for quite some time where Catholics could not enter into cer­tain fields of study or work. Oba­ma pay­ing off the Union boss­es (most of them thugs and crim­i­nals like the Team­sters) by tak­ing away the right of a secret bal­lot as he is try­ing to do is anoth­er exam­ple of him try­ing to take total con­trol and elim­i­nate choice. So, you want your free­dom to kill babies at the expense of los­ing all oth­er lib­er­ties? I don’t and I whole­heart­ed­ly sup­port leav­ing the Union if this is what it comes to.
  Inci­den­tal­ly, a few years back I sup­port­ed Alan Keyes for Pres­i­dent over Bush and he’s a WHOLE LOT BLACKER than that weasel Oba­ma who is noth­ing more than a paid stooge to George Soros and this whole World bank­ing sys­tem. Truth­ful­ly, I find it rather con­de­scend­ing to have all my pas­sion and con­vic­tion dis­missed by infer­ring that I and most of the oth­ers who believe along with me are “racists”. I’m sor­ry to be so blunt when you are typ­i­cal­ly a whole lot more diplo­mat­ic than in this arti­cle, but it was that state­ment alone that ruined your argu­ment for me above all oth­ers and is way beneath you.

  Bryan, I have been more than patient and con­sid­er­ate of your beliefs over the years that we’ve known each oth­er. It’s been so long since you actu­al­ly lis­tened to any­thing I’ve said that you have no actu­al idea what I believe, specif­i­cal­ly, on ANY top­ic. You’ve got­ten so deeply immersed in a cultish adher­ence to what some reli­gious leader tells you to believe that you are unwill­ing or unable to have a ratio­nal con­ver­sa­tion. I’ve been con­sid­er­ate and tol­er­ant far past any rea­son­able expec­ta­tion.

  The prob­lem goes beyond that, though. Even in our email exchanges, no mat­ter what I say, all you can talk about is the same com­plaints about the same prob­lems you’ve had for 20 years or more–unemployment or under-employ­ment, unten­able liv­ing sit­u­a­tions, no com­pan­ion­ship or “rela­tion­ships” that con­sist sole­ly of yet anoth­er pret­ty girl tak­ing advan­tage of you. You haven’t even pre­tend­ed to read or respond to any­thing I’ve said about my life in that time, because every­thing has to be about you.

  Tak­ing this par­tic­u­lar post per­son­al­ly, as indi­cat­ed by com­ments like “I find it rather con­de­scend­ing to have all my pas­sion and con­vic­tion dis­missed…” and bring­ing up abor­tion, which isn’t even MENTIONED in my post or the arti­cle to which it refers, is typ­i­cal of your irra­tional behv­ior and com­mu­ni­ca­tion. You get your news from places like World­Net Dai­ly, which is noto­ri­ous­ly biased and full of utter non­sense. You don’t even have the brains or mem­o­ry to recall that the stim­u­lus pack­age of which you speak (and its inex­cus­able lack of over­sight) is a lega­cy of the Bush admin­is­tra­tion.

  Bryan, you’re a reli­gio­fas­cist. You don’t have the intel­li­gence or the crit­i­cal think­ing skills to get into this debate you’re try­ing to start, so I refuse to play. I don’t have the ener­gy to engage in even a ghost of a rela­tion­ship with you, because you are a vast, suck­ing drain of need­i­ness. These are things I would have said pri­vate­ly, but you chose the forum. Good­bye.
