Will Arizona Secede?

Will Arizona Secede?

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
********************

I have no idea if Arizona will make an attempt at secession, or not. If they do, it will not be the first time. You see, back in 1861 Arizona chose to become a part of the old Confederacy during the War Between the States. You may read the Arizona Ordinance of Secession HERE.

So, secession, as unthinkable as you MAY think it is today, is NOT outside the realm of possibility.

Let’s see what others are saying about this issue:

HCR 2034:If Martial Law, Arizona Will Secede
1. “That when or if the President of the United States, the Congress of the United States or any other federal agent or agency declares the Constitution of the United States to be suspended or abolished, if the President or any other federal entity attempts to institute martial law or its equivalent without an official declaration in one or more of the states without the consent of that state or if any federal order attempts to make it unlawful for individual Americans to own firearms or to confiscate firearms, the State of Arizona, when joined by thirty-four of the other fifty states, declares as follows: That the states resume all state powers delegated by the Constitution of the United States and assume total sovereignty; … …”

"The Civil War and Arizona"
“Arizona's Civil War story is a colorful one. Colonel John R. Baylor of the Confederate States of America (CSA) defeated Union troops in Arizona and New Mexico in March 1861. Arizona became a Confederate Territory when it was annexed by the Confederate President Jefferson Davis who was also the ex Secretary of War under President Abraham Lincoln.”Read the rest of this very interesting article HERE.

"What will Washington do about the Arizona immigration law?"
You will find this article HERE.
***********************
Now -- these are but a small sampling of the articles on the Internet.What you are seeing unfold between the political left in America, and the sovereign state of Arizona, over Arizona’s legal right to regulate illegal immigration into their state is but a small part of the overall plan the political left has of being rid of both the US/Mexican border and the US/Canadian border. Arizona, you see, just tossed a fly into the left’s “ointment,” if you please. That ointment? Why “Global Governance,” of course -- a “one-world government.” With a one-world government there will be no borders. None will be needed.

Arizona just spat in the faces of the political left all over the world. And they are seriously PO’ed!

Look, even a fool knows the US government could close, seal, and secure the borders -- if it wanted to. The simple truth is -- the American government does not want to secure her borders.
The progressives in the US government have been working for decades to pave the way for global governance, which would include the US. A global government would override the US Constitution, making it null and void. The same group has been working feverishly to destroy the US Constitution of 1787 by claiming it is a “living document” and crying out for a new US Constitution for the 21st century.

Understand: the proposed global government would be a socialist/marxist/communist government. The socialist Obama Regime (which actually believes it is running the country), the socialist Congress -- including both the US House and the US Senate, were necessary to move the progressive agenda for global governance to fruition. The so-called “Shadow Government” now has control of the Executive and the Legislative branches of the US Government and it is closing in on control of the third branch of our government – the Judicial branch. Anything that gets in the way of the socialist progressives must be crushed. I give you: the political left’s War on Arizona!

If you have read the articles we pointed you towards (above) then you know that Arizona has prepared the way for the state’s secession from the USA. She has set the stage to claim, that which is hers -- her sovereignty.

We have warned countless times, in our scribblings, that what is happening in Arizona today was going to happen. History does, indeed, repeat itself.

We Southern folk know the history of this country leading up to the secession of the states that formed the Confederate States of America. We know the REAL history, not the bunk taught our children in the "government schools," or "indoctrination centers."

Look, dear reader, Arizona was mis-treated by the federal government, in exactly the same way as the Southern states were mistreated from, at least, 1820 until Confederate troops fired on Ft. Sumter in April of 1861. The "so-called" Civil War was NOT an overnight thing -- and it was not about slavery. The issue of slavery was a peripheral issue and NOT THE ISSUE that brought us the “War for Southern Independence.” It was, in fact, “State’s Rights!” It is the very issue we are dealing with today as the sovereign state of Arizona bucks the overgrown US federal government.

Just as they are today, the federal government was dictating to the states and simply ignoring the constitutional rights of those states. It went on for decades with the southern states continually warning the federal government that if the disrespectful treatment continued, at some point, the southern states would leave the union! Southern Senators and Representatives told the Congress and the President -- plainly -- they would be forced to secede.

Are Americans of the 21st century ready to revisit the dark days when US federal troops face off with Arizona National Guard troops -- or militias? Are we ready for another "brother against brother" confrontation? It is important to ask, for that is exactly where we are headed.

Rest assured the federal government stands ready to crush the sovereignty of ANY US state that tries to assert those rights. To the Obama Regime the US Constitution is an outdated piece of paper not applicable to 21st century America. They will walk all over it to ensure that Arizona does nothing that might lead to the securing of the open border between Mexico and America.

Any amateur historian can tell you where this all is leading. We are living in the early stages of the dissolution of the United States. The Rubicon has been crossed.

Obama Justice Department Decision Will Allow Non-Citizens to Register to Vote in Georgia

Decision Bars Georgia From Continuing Voter Verification Process

Atlanta - “The decision by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to deny preclearance of Georgia’s already implemented citizenship verification process shows a shocking disregard for the integrity of our elections. With this decision, DOJ has now barred Georgia from continuing the citizenship verification program that DOJ lawyers helped to craft. DOJ’s decision also nullifies the orders of two federal courts directing Georgia to implement the procedure for the 2008 general election. The decision comes seven months after Georgia requested an expedited review of the preclearance submission.

“DOJ has thrown open the door for activist organizations such as ACORN to register non-citizens to vote in Georgia’s elections, and the state has no ability to verify an applicant’s citizenship status or whether the individual even exists. DOJ completely disregarded Georgia’s obvious and direct interest in preventing non-citizens from voting, instead siding with the ACLU and MALDEF. Clearly, politics took priority over common sense and good public policy.

“This process is critical to protecting the integrity of our elections. We have evidence that non-citizens have voted in past Georgia elections and that more than 2,100 individuals have attempted to register, yet still have questions regarding their citizenship. Further, the Inspector General’s office is investigating more than 30 cases of non-citizens casting ballots in Georgia elections, including the case of a Henry County non-citizen who registered to vote and cast ballots in 2004 and 2006.

“It is important to underscore that not a single person has come forward to say he or she could not vote because of the verification process. Further, while DOJ argues that the process is somehow discriminatory, the historic voter turnout among Hispanic and African-American voters in the 2008 general elections clearly says otherwise.

“This decision provides a specific example of the inherently illogical and unfair nature of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. It is a sad day for the rights of our state and for the integrity of our elections. I remain committed to continuing the fight for citizenship verification. In the coming days, I will consider every option available to the state, including the possibility of legal action.”

Obama Justice Department Decision Will Allow Non-Citizens to Register to Vote in Georgia

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me ask ALL of you, do you know what the REAL cause of the American Civil War was? The War of Northern Aggression and Repression. Let's have a show of hands, or the like. Was the cause of that war:

1. Economic and social differences between the North and the South.
2. States versus federal rights.
3. The fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents.
4. Growth of the Abolition Movement.
5. The election of Abraham Lincoln.
6. The preservation of the Union
7. All of the above.
8. None of the above.

This link: Top Five Causes of the Civil War is where I got the top 5, the last 3 are my options. I have NEVER bought into the slavery issue being the cause of the Civil War, there were numerous Northern slave holders prior to emancipation.

The Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic States, including Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, had legally sanctioned slavery in the 17th, 18th and even part of the 19th centuries, but in the generation or two before the American Civil War, almost all slaves had been emancipated through a series of statutes. SOURCE: Northern Slave States

We all know that slavery was wrong, we have ALL heard that slavery was THE cause of the Civil War, but it was not. It may have been a contributing factor, but it was NOT the one and only reason for the War Between the States.

STATES RIGHTS folks, that was the primary cause of the conflict. No matter what anyone tells you, States Rights was the primary reason that the Civil War was fought. Today we are seeing the exact same thing, history IS repeating itself. It's been coming for a long time. Now Barack Hussein Obama has rapidly escalated his efforts to infringe upon STATES RIGHTS. He and his minions, at Obama's direction, particularly the DOJ and one Eric Holder, attempt to turn this USA into a socialist, Marxist, communist nation dominated by Sharia law and liberal mentality.

Texas has sent their Sovereignty Resolution from the Texas House to the Texas Senate. HCR 50 We are well on our way to a declaration my friends. The Secessionist Movement is alive and well in Texas, and it's the actions that this story presents, those in Georgia, that makes me honestly believe, ALL states MUST declare their SOVEREIGNTY from the USA and the Obama Nation.

Once sovereignty has been established, let the chips fall where they may, if secession and returning Texas to it's original inception as a REPUBLIC, a free and independent REPUBLIC is the way we must go, then so be it!

This entire nation is on the brink of collapse, some of us will NOT sit idly by and watch our self sufficient states go down with the rest of the nation, not when those states have the power at their fingertips to rectify the travesty known as The Obamessiah...
