Ron Paul on Secession

I'm posting this just because he's recieved so much negativity for practicing free speech. Ron Paul claims that secession discussions should be kept alive for obvious reasons:

a.) The Federal Government may not be so eager to step on State's governments if it were afraid that the State would seceed from the Union.

b.) We did seceed from England, though not in a very peaceful way. The principal is still there.

So, what's everyone doing now, namely CNN (Communist Networking News)? Shouts of, "Treason!" are flowing out of their mouths. What's treasonous about talking about secession? Ron Paul doesn't actually think the Texas governor was serious when he mentioned it in passing, but I agree that it's a good discussion.

My definition of treason: any organization, government, or individual that violates the rule of law as defined by the Constitution and is in blatant contrast to the ideals of America, which is independent of any government or president.

As such, Bush committed treason, Obama committed treason, Clinton committed treason, etc. and we have a right to stand against that treason. Seceeded from a corrupted government is not treason. Here's the video:

CNN + Tea Parties = Awesome Behind-the-Scenes Footage!

Believe it or not, I'm not a huge fan of these tea parties going on, but more on that in a later article. However, I believe that a number of the people who attend them are passionate, and probably more open to conservative and Libertarian philosophy than a lot of people. They aren't there yet, and there's too much space for neocons to step in and overtake these little parties. Not to mention, some of them lack any kind of spirit at all (I feel another article coming along).

Anyway, here's a CNN reporter who attempted to "report", or biasly bash the tea parties and paint them as being a movement created by right-wing extremists who are angry that Repubicans lost this year's election. This clip includes the segment that CNN actually aired, followed by some awesome bloggers who got there right afterwards and managed to catch the reporter being told off by a very angry woman!
