• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Funny, everything we stood for back then, you stand for now! 😉 (not talking about slavery, so get that notion outcha mind-brain)
Not really.


This is one of my biggest shake my head moments about American history in general.

Those dudes were rebels and committed rebellion out of fear of the future.

Comparing them to the patriots of The Revolution is one of the most misguided comparisons in American history IYAM.

Nah fam. It wasn’t fear, it was the fact they knew they were right about state rights
 
Night my peoples. And @America 1st don’t get me wrong. I believe everything happens for a reason. And I’m ultimately glad the union was won and restored, for it not be so, we would have one weird fucked up world, probably more so than we do now. HOWEVER comma, I believe in a lot of the principles they believed in back then. Mainly small government. Which I know you can appreciate today as well. Ok, good talk. @Farley OUT!

No amount of assumptions about what they thought was going to happen justifies rebellion.

Furthermore states don't have the right to secession.

One common sense way of explaining this to ask this simple question:

Do you believe a majority of voting citizens in this country can take away your rights?

If you answered no and love freedom and individual liberty then the same applies (and even more) to states.

States cannot leave the Union and they can't take their occupants (let alone citizens) out by force.

The only way people can leave the Union is by individually revoking their citizenship (and for good reason).
