(on Drudge) Ron Paul: 'Secession is a deeply American principle'...

[tremendoustie]

Isn't it unconstitutional for a government to deny a U.S. citizen of its right from their country they consider?

This sentence doesn't make sense.

Isn't the right of the minority going to be violated by the tyrannical majority the same thing we followers of liberty oppose too?

The minority has a right to obey and send their own money to federal politicians. I don't see why anyone would prevent them from doing this. They don't, however, have a right to force their neighbors to do so.

Is is not right for Native Americans in their reservations and lands to have the freedom to secede from the seceding state?

Sure, I would not prevent them from seceding from a seceding state.

If a state secedes, would you consider a state joining another country say like Canada or Mexico?

I certainly wouldn't want to; I'd want to remain independent. The Canadian and Mexican governments aren't much better than the US government.

You've missed the point. As individuals, we have Rights. A basic Right is Freedom of association. If we are NOT permitted to leave, then we aren't actually free. This nation was intended to be a free union. How many ratifiers of the Constitution do you think would have signed if they were informed, "by the way, by signing this document your state may NEVER leave the union, that your single signature imprisons your fellow countrymen FOREVER."?
The question that should be asked is WHY do people want to secede? What happened?

I would instead ask, why have there ever been any people in any state who didn't want to secede?

Would you rather have $1 cash, or $4 worth of something the federal government wants you to have?

This. I keep seeing the argument about red states getting more than they give, but how much of that 'getting' is for Federal programs that the State doesn't even really want to begin with? It seems to me that the reason red states get more than they give, is because Washington has to jerk dollars back and forth on a string to get those states to comply with stuff.
