VA Constitutional Militia Muster - August 2, 2009

How much longer does the Republic truly have? 230 years ago the founders scripted a basic compact of limited, enumerated federal government and unalienable (some cites “inalienable”) fundamental rights. Having forged a new republic of separate States (capital “S”) united (little “u”) to insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote (not “provide”, notice the difference) the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty.

Rights that they had witnessed abused, abridged, infringed and abrogated by the Imperial British crown.

There were opposing factions. Some wanted a bigger, more encompassing federal structure. Some wanted a very small central government. Compromises were made, but there were numerous items that all of the signators could agree on. The Bill of Rights was borne out of a need to guarantee that this newly-authored rule of law could never again be used to subjugate, enslave or abuse its privilege.

It was begun in 1865 after a brutal, antagonistic and illegal war on a free people whose only wish was that they be left alone to govern themselves in the manner they were once guaranteed under the Constitution.

Revocation of Delegated Authority To Legislate In Certain Areas

To the Congress of the United States of America

From the Declaration of Independence
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

From the Constitution for the united States of America
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

When the Servant usurps the authority and power of the Master, it is incumbent upon the Master to restore order within his realm or become the servant.

The Confederate 13

The provisional government of the Confederate States of America has established a set of principles and provisions that we believe are fundamentally necessary to rebuilding and restoring a free, CONSTITUTIONAL government of Southern Confederates. Anyone who wishes to lay the spectre of white guilt or northern morality against the Southern cause is no friend of the South, nor of truth. This is not revolutionary thinking and we do not seek to overthrow the federal empire, as is plainly stated in item 6.

The Constitutional government of the United State empire has rendered itself, through its own actions, null and void. Executive order and commission of crimes against foreign sovereign nations as well as her own citizens has left the nation a shadow of it former self. Whatever hope lay in the people to reclaim the prosperity and potential of the government created in 1787 has been abrogated to socialism, private banking cartels, secular humanism, tyranny and moral and fiscal bankruptcy.

It is no mere coincidence that there are 13 stars on the Confederate Flag and 13 principles we seek to uphold as the foundation for the restoration movement.

Would You Stay In An Abusive, Forcibly Arranged Marriage?

Because that's exactly what we have in the United State of America. Please follow along and let see if this analogy does not fit the current political climate in our country.

I wrote the following in response to a good friend, whose name I shall refrain from printing to protect the innocence of, but that I felt was worthy of posting for [hopefully] the benefit of others.

Seems to me it's been more and more downs as we continue to spread the "American way" throughout the globe, even despite the objections of other nations and our own citizenry.

Never mind the continued abuses of Presidential power by executive order and squandering of billions of taxpayer dollars a day on the "war on terror", an analogous, ambiguous abstract concept.

Putting Down the "Confederate" Flag

Much like the blind fanatical nationalism on display across the country today as we remember and relive the horrors of 9/11 another event has been forever etched into the public consciousness, but with far greater implication and revisionism.

Let's forget for a minute that slavery was practiced in the North and the South. Let's forget that Lincoln offered the Southern states a CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT protecting the practice of slavery if they would remain in the Union rather than secede. Let's ignore the fact that the Constitutional government of the United States was formed by the separate states, each of whom reserved the right to withdraw at any time.

Let's forget that secession, as a form of political resistance, was taught to cadets at West Point. Let's ignore that several Northern states wanted also to secede from the Union at some point, but were lured back into the fold with false promises and compromises.

Let's ignore the FACT that the Union government of the '50s and '60s were the ones that instigated segregation, forced busing and created a landslide of "victim" classes by stripping basic civil rights and liberties from all citizens.
