” IF ONE WERE TO TAKE THE CURRENT STATE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT FOR EACH OF THE STATES OF THE CONFEDERACY, ADD IT ALL UP, THEN COMPARE THAT WITH THE GDP’S OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, I THINK ONE WOULD GET A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE TO SEE WHAT A SERIOUS AND FORMIDABLE COUNTRY THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA C.S.A.
OF YEAR 2009 WOULD BE.
I’M PRETTY SURE THAT ALL THESE STATISTICS COULD EASILY BE FOUND ON THE INTERNET.
THEN IMAGINE ALL OF THESE STATES NO LONGER HAVING TO SHIP MOUNTAINS OF MONEY OFF TO THAT BOTTOMLESS RAT HOLE IN WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF CROOKS!! IMAGINE IF THEY COULD KEEP ALL THAT MONEY WITHIN THEIR OWN STATE BORDERS TO PROMOTE LOCAL PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT AND BOOST THEIR OWN STANDARD OF LIVING, RATHER THAN HAVE THE MONEY WHOLESALE SQUANDERED AS IT IS TODAY! YES A REVIVED C.S.A.
WOULD BE A VERY SERIOUS COUNTRY AND ECONOMY ON THE WORLD STAGE.
I THINK IT IS RELATIVELY EASY TO GET A REFERENDUM QUESTION OR PROPOSITION POSTED ON THE STATE BALLOT AT ELECTION TIME.
JUST TAKES X NUMBER OF SIGNATURES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
SEEMS TO ME THAT A WELL CRAFTED AND WORDED BALLOT INITIATIVE MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE.
IF NOTHING ELSE, IT WOULD MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF A NEW IDEA, THAT THERE ACTUALLY I S AN ALTERNATIVE OUT THERE TO MONKEY ” business as usual “.
SHAKE THINGS UP, GET THEM THINKING…
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT ANYWHERE IN THE U.S.
CONSTITUTION IS THERE A PROVISION TO THE EFFECT THAT A STATE JOINING THE UNITED STATES HAS JUMPED INTO SOME PERPETUAL LOBSTER TRAP AND IS JUST STUCK THERE FOR ALL ETERNITY!!! THAT WOULD BE RIDICULOUS.
THE ANTITHESIS A SO-CALLED DEMOCRACY.
(Good enough for Iraq, but not good enough for Alabama, Mississippi, etc.??!!) PEOPLE DESERVED THIS FREEDOM IN 1861 AND STILL DESERVE IT TODAY.
CLEARLY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR — WAR CRIMES, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, ILLEGAL CONQUEST AND OCCUPATION OF SOVEREIGN STATES, MURDER, THEFT OF PROPERY, HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, ETC.
BASED ON CIRCA 2009 MENTALITY ON LOTS OF THESE ISSUES AS THEY APPLY TO OTHER PLACES IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS ON VERY SHAKY GROUND VIS-A-VIS PAST CRIMES AND AGGRESSION COMMITTED AGAINST THE SOVEREIGN STATES AND PEOPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA.
MAYBE TIME FOR SOMEONE TO START MAKING LIFE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR BIG BRO IN WASHINGTON.
PLENTY OF OTHER ‘ SQUEAKY WHEELS ‘ GETTING GREASED THESE DAYS OVER FAR MORE TRIVIAL THINGS…:(
STARS AND BARS FOREVER.
