Free Virginia

April 29, 2011
A classic by Joseph Sobran

As a Virginian (though born and raised in Michigan), I would like to remind my countrymen that Virginia is not a part of the United States. We withdrew from the old confederacy in 1861, joined the Confederate States of America (currently inoperative, alas), and were forcibly — and illegally — reannexed to the United States in 1865.

By now most Virginians are resigned to living under the U.S. Government. Not me. Virginia — the home of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee — should be free.

When the sovereign state of Virginia ratified the U.S. Constitution in June 1788, it did so with this proviso: “that the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, may be resumed by them, whenever the same shall be perverted to their injury and oppression.” That is, the people of the states could withdraw their consent and “resume,” or reclaim, the powers delegated to the U.S. Government.

And now… the rest of the story. …..

    You are so right, however the CSA govt IS still existing (in exile) and the CSA nation of states S TILL IS ITS OWN COUNTRY however under ILLEGAL Federal OCCUPATION. the south never surrendered to this day ! Forget what everyone has been Federally indoctrinated with; no one has had TRUE history in the [ILLEGAL] Federal Govt schools for the past 150 years ! And the south IS IN the process of rising again for real !

    The Founders established a TWO nation America from the very beginning, North and South, each its own nation of states and cultures. England even recognized the TWO nations when King James I put his “stamp of approval” on the dividing line of the two nations at the Mason Dixon line in 1606. This fact is not known since TRUE early history (much of which Lincoln burned to conceal it and cover for his war crimes and actions) has very carefully been hidden. Everything the Federal govt schools have been teaching/indoctrinating us all with are total fabrications !
    ALL deliberately planned !

    Socialist Karl Marx stated – ” A people separated from their [true] heritage are easily persuaded”. [Read = 'easily manipulated']

    “The philosophies of the classroom in this generation will be the philosophy of politics, government and life in the next” – - – Abraham Lincoln.

    “Those who control education will over a period of several generations control a nation.” ….Lincoln.

    The public also does not know that Karl Marx and Lincoln were friends.
    Lincoln was a dedicated Marxist Communist, the first Marxist Communist president to be placed in office.

    Bless you, my son! I too, wish I were from (and in) the Old Dominion, the Mother of States and the Mother of Presidents who became Military District #1 during the occupation. It makes me cry even now.
