“Everything You Know Is Wrong!”

Ron Paul: Secession “deeply American”

Paul argues that secession, far from being treasonous, must be seen as a final safeguard against an unduly transgressive central government: “In a free country, governments derive their power from the consent of the governed. When the people have very clearly withdrawn their consent for a law, the discussion should be over. If the Feds refuse to accept that and continue to run roughshod over the people, at what point do we acknowledge that that is not freedom anymore? At what point should the people dissolve the political bands which have connected them with an increasingly tyrannical and oppressive federal government?”

That’s it. I’m done with this so-called Homeowners Association!
