At the American Thinker today, Carole Hornsby Haynes schools those who don't, as the old song says, know much about history, in a piece entitled Our Nation Was Not Founded In 1776. She leads us on the perilous, courageous, and long road from the Declaration of Independence, which itself has a long history beginning in 1100 AD in England, to the actual ratification of the Constitution by the 13 original states of the union. It is always well to remember that the Federal government is a creature of the individual states. And while the Civil War supposedly settled the notion of secession, in reality that has never been settled legally. For if the Declaration is true, then Washington can not claim their is no right of secession. As Hornsby notes, London has just moved to Washington, but we find ourselves in the same pickle. Washington does not represent our best interests, and indeed violates its own Constitution.
I can not quote certain sections as illustrative of the whole. Gentle readers will have to read the whole thing.
