A new strategy for liberty

Secession in three easy steps. “Just as the rules of basketball favor those who are tall, strong, and have a good jump shot, the rules of democracy favor those who want to grow the government. For decades, we have been playing by Goliath’s rules, the very rules that allowed Goliath to rise to power in the first place. The only way we can play away from our weakness is to get out of the electoral politics game altogether.” A brilliant column by Stewart Browne.
Step 3: Even as the State and its cheerleaders grow increasingly hostile toward us, we remain entirely peaceful. At its core, secession is the most peaceful way to solve any political conflict. And if we follow steps 1 & 2, we’re likely to see Washington ‘s language grow ugly, and their tactics grow desperate. It is crucial that when this happens, we remain non-violent. The guns in your garage might be itching to defend your freedom, but you need to leave them there until the next turkey shoot. If there is one thing Washington loves, it’s a violent fight. If we engage in one, we’re right back to playing their game.When Washington really starts to lose its cool towards secessionists, if we remain peaceful, Washington ‘s credibility will wane even further, and our position will grow stronger.
Eventually, this new approach becomes a positive feedback loop.

Non-participation works! Voting is your way of expressing your consent for the way the thugs known as government do business. Voting for anyone in government is simply consenting to more of the same….more for thugs and less for you.
