It's In The Air...

Is American Thinker's George Joyce thinking Anti-Federalists thoughts too?


"A failed presidency for Barack Obama could turn into liberalism's worst nightmare. Barely six months into his term, the 44th president has succeeded in generating the most widespread and serious discussion of secession since the Civil War. Despite what Newsweek's Evan Thomas may claim, Obama is not the "God" who will bring us together but the autocratic sponsor of an overbearing, oppressive leviathan from which a growing number of Americans are seeking refuge.

That refuge, according to author Paul Starobin, will come in the form of several regional republics that reflect the diverse character of Americans no longer bound in any meaningful way by our unrecognizable Federal government."


He also references the Wall Street Journal Article (see the previous post), and among other observations, adds:

"Maybe this is why Starobin claims to be witnessing a lot of neo-secessionist activity. Wouldn't a new American devolution however be a liberal's worst nightmare? Beyond the psychosis most liberals would have to endure at the thought of losing any kind of control, the prospect of vibrant, happy, and successful conservative republics in places like Texas, South Carolina or Utah would be an inescapable spotlight forever exposing the failure of liberal ideology in a Republic of California."
Nicely done, Mr. Joyce...nicely done, indeed.

  1. This Administration deserves to topple like a house of cards. Pelosi wants to reveal interrogation proceedures to the enemy while His Majesty apologizes.
    They want to betray US Troops, at least they should have the fucking decency to take them from harms way and back upon US soil.

  2. Wrote long,clever commentary before re:how Federalist Papers were actually ANTI-Centralist Government,but erased...the bottom-line is that the Battle is against control-freak fuck-ups who haven't run anything other than their mouths.It comes down to that,in the end...

  3. I used it in a loose, common sense that a "Federalist" is somebody who supports the Federal Government as we attempt to survive it today.

    But you are right...I should use a different word.

    Officially, it means just the opposite.

  4. I personally refer to them as "STATISTS". Works better in real-Life debates with counterculture burnouts I know.Makes the point,cuts to the chase...better than outdated "Lib vs. Con" paradigm. I just wish the "Big Guys" would use the same term.It would reach more folks. A true reach-out,rather than just preaching to the choir.

  5. Agreed. I like it too. I use it frequently. Probably should have used it here and eliminated any chance of misunderstanding.
