They're Slow, But Sure

I've been preaching for years that the only way to undo unlawful government is to abandon it, since government never voluntarily surrenders any power that it has successfully usurped. When times were good, most everyone discounted this kind of talk as disruptive and held out hope of electing the "right" person to office, usually Ron Paul. Only now that the inevitable (and easily foreseeable) consequences of an unchained sovereignty have crashed down upon us do people finally change their tune and entertain the only workable solution. The following passage is almost verbatim what I have insisted upon from the beginning:
The only way to get this oppressive tyrant - known as the federal government - off our back is to break away from it and start anew. That 28 states are starting to fan the flames of rebellion by moving towards a sovereign agenda is fairly significant. States and people must declare their sovereignty and remove the tentacles of the federal government's oppressive laws from their necks. Only a breakup of this monstrous and out-of-control, despotic giant can save freedom. If you think not, then you need to go back to your car washes, "libertarian" social clubs, and high school reunion plans.
Sigh. I guess it remains human nature to confront the unpleasant truth only when it's no longer possible to lie to yourself.

Not really related to your last post, and something that won't surprise you, but nevertheless a good quick article:

Thanks for the link. I mostly agree with Napolitano's diagnosis of our unconstitutional state of affairs, though I fear he does not understand the need for a clean break -- he strikes me as someone who persists in the delusion that we can elect "good people" to solve these problems. What he and others like him fail to grasp is that the Constitution dies at the precise moment it ceases being mandatory and becomes the mere plaything of politicians, good or bad. Absent an amendment or a convention among the States, the Constitution's terms are non-negotiable. Since the nominal government refuses to obey the law, we must refuse to obey the nominal government.
