All states have that right… but its not a right.

Ie; There is nothing that keeps a state from secedding and in fact only 2 have specific options relating to this.

But most (other than civil war) wouldnt do it nowadays.

The fact is that Texas still retains the right to self-split itself into multiple states, but if contested it would have the actual right to secede then.

Other states can, despite what Lincoln & others tried to say.

Its still a part of the ‘voluntary union of states’ deal.

Its unfortunate that of late, many on the left, consider any disagreement or opposition to their ideas to be wrong,evil, or even want it made illegal.

In some areas they are already succeeding.
Examples:

1. Democrats (specifically Ed Kennedy & others) are fond of calling those who disagree with them “Hilter”.

2. If you are accused of childabuse, you are automaticlally guilty, and it can be difficult (in some states impossible) to prove innocence, “though DNA is now helping prove it”.
Ie; in most places you cannot confront the case worker who accuses you,even when she/he is lieing outright.

Reality is that too many crimes of recent decades have been proven per DNA to not be committed by the one convicted.

3. Hillary once said while 1st lady, that if one doesnt vote for her husbands healthcare that one should not have a right to vote… (since she was ‘defacto’ in charge of the idea, it was not proper for her to state this).

4. Continuation of the idea that increasing taxes and paying it is patrotic …when the reverse is true.
Its patrotic to pay taxes, but to oppose unreasonable increases.. Since we are now paying in many cases twice what we think we are paying in taxes, its getting crazy.

Dont forget to include all taxes:
Fed,State,local,sales,fees,permits,licenses,property tax, etc, cap gains, taxes on taxes and even multilevel taxes.

The only progress this country needs is a backward historical progress. (I know a complete oxymoron) That progress was brought on by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, Ben Franklin and all of our other amazing, brilliant founding fathers. Look in the mirror before you so hastily judge other citizens and then aim that attention where it is deserved. The real problem does not lie in us, the people. It is the radicals in power on both sides of the political field. The Constitution is the only thing we should base our political views on. Let’s never get back to a WWI Wilson America where individualism and opinion are oppressed and considered un-American. Whole point of this is to not be the “hateful-left” that a lot of you are being.

By passing laws that violate the Constitution such as gun laws, Patriot Act and numerous executive orders, then it could reasonably be considered breach of contract and grounds for secession.

It is unamerican not to hold the federal government accountable for its corruption. Where is the indignation? Are we so mesmerized by our blackberries that we won’t get out and hold these crooks accountable? Raise your hands if you don’t think we are getting shafted by the privately owned Federal Reserve with the full approval of the federal government. We don’t elect the Federal Reserve Chairman. They are not accountable to the American people any more than Federal Express is.

Read up on your founding fathers, they warned us about these issues we face today. If you won’t hold government accountable it will do whatever it pleases, and it is.

To bicker between party lines is distracting to the real issues and the political elite know it and use it to their advantage. Obama is human just like all the Presidents that came before him. Only time will tell if he upholds our rights or tries to test the limits of our Constitution like so many before him have, Rep. and Dem. alike.

The Constitution is the only thing we have to protect ourselves. Never be afraid to defend it, even if that means threatening secession. This is not a popularity contest, we are not in high school anymore. A political party will not protect your rights, only We The People in defense of the Constitution can do that.

So, no, Glenn. States cannot secede from the Union. Here’s a novel idea: how about being a grown-up and participate in the political system like the rest of us do. Fight for the issues you believe in, like the rest of us do. Suffer the same disappointments that the rest of us suffer when the issues we support are neglected, abused or ignored by others in power.

What a whiner!!! I still don’t understand how this man was ever offered a place on talk radio, let alone cable television. I know that he will be very happy at Faux News. No real news outlet would ever have Beck as a face on their network.

I don’t think anyone from the left (maybe an anonymous contribution or five from Connecticut) will be giving to the Obama Wars right wing radio host veterans fund.

The appropriate response to this is, every time he’s introduced on any show for any reason, it can be as “and now, here’s outspoken secessionist, Glenn Beck.”

Somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen either.
