Ron Paul: "Secession Is a Deeply American Principle"
While other Republicans distance themselves from secession petitions that have sprouted up in states across the country, leave it to Ron Paul to jump directly into the fray. "Secession is a deeply American principle," the outgoing Republican congressman wrote on his website. Evoking America #39;s secession from England, he added: "There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it represents." The petitions have appeared in more than 30 states since President Obama #39;s re-election and are posting to a White House channel that promises an official response to any proposal that collects more than 25000 signatures. The one from Paul #39;s home state, Texas, has been the most popular, with 115000 signatures and counting. Unsurprisingly, the White House has yet to weigh in.From:slatesterViews:17 1ratingsTime:01:08More inNews Politics

Ron Paul: "Secession Is a Deeply American Principle" - Video

In a gift to those who enjoyed Lincoln last weekend, on Monday Ron Paul offered up a real-world sequel of sorts in a blog post to his House website. Following President Obama's reelection, more than 675,000 Americans from all 50 states signed petitions on the White House's "We the People" website calling for their state to part ways with the rest of the union. Many assume this new band of secessionists is comprised of people who are angry that the country is being run by a Kenyan socialist and college kids who saw the petition on Facebook and thought it was funny. However, Paul argues that this outcry from roughly .22 percent of the American public raises "a lot of worthwhile questions about the nature of our union," despite what your history teacher might have told you about the Civil War.

Paul argues that "secession is a deeply American principle," and points out that our country was formed when the colonies decided to separate from England. He adds, "The Federal government kept the Union together through violence and force in the Civil War, but did might really make right?"

While Paul believes that the states still have a right to secede, as The Hill notes that's still up for debate. There's no legal method established for doing so, and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia denied that the right exists in a letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal. "The answer is clear," writes Scalia. "If there was any constitutional issue resolved by the Civil War, it is that there is no right to secede. (Hence, in the Pledge of Allegiance, 'one Nation, indivisible.')"

Okay, so a state actually couldn't secede (without a fight, at least), but does that mean they shouldn't be able to withdraw from the U.S.? Paul writes:

There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it represents. That is what our Revolutionary War was all about and today our own federal government is vastly overstepping its constitutional bounds with no signs of reform. In fact, the recent election only further entrenched the status quo. If the possibility of secession is completely off the table there is nothing to stop the federal government from continuing to encroach on our liberties and no recourse for those who are sick and tired of it.

If the American people can't secede, how will they ever be able to stop the officials they keep voting for in regularly scheduled elections?

Ron Paul is cool with secession

Senator Paul (R-Kentucky), the son of retiring Texas congressman and three-time unsuccessful presidential candidate Ron Paul, was asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl if he'd run for office in 2016.

Am I interested in thinking about that? Yes," he said, adding he wants "to be part of the national debate." However. Paul, a Kentucky Senator is not committing to run for the position.

I am different than some in that I am not going to deny that I am interested, Paul said. Im not going to deny that I think we have to go a different direction because were just not winning.

Paul said the Republican Party should explore new means of expanding its appeal, especially to young people and Hispanics. He also said he supports exploring routes for illegal immigrants to gain citizenship as well as loosening marijuana restrictions and placing them at state levels.

I think for example we should tell young people, Im not in favor of you smoking pot, but if you get caught smoking pot, I dont want to put you in jail for 20 years, he said.

States should be allowed to make a lot of these decisions. I want things to be decided more at a local basis, with more compassion. I think it would make us as Republicans different.

Paul's father, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) is slated to retire after 23 years in Congress. He unsuccessfully ran for president twice as a Republican and once as a Libertarian.

Hes grown the party in a tremendous way, Paul said. Theres a sea change on the Republican side and I think my fathers responsible for some of that.
