With the League and other groups issuing the Chattanooga Declaration, I thought it would be a good time to take it item by item and discuss how to operationalize it. The first item states “1. The deepest questions of human liberty and government facing our time go beyond right and left, and in fact have made the old right-left split meaningless and dead.”

This means that looking at the world as either a Democrat or Republican is no longer valid. Members of both parties have sold out the values and culture of the South.

It also means that there has become little difference between the parties. In an article that recently appeared in the American Psychologist, researchers are wondering if the red blue split is irrelevant. They found that America is actually more of a purple state. The most of the people want a mixture of red and blue values and avoid extreme positions. Their research shows adds credence to the statement that the distinction behind the labels is no longer valid. It is almost as if politicians are in general, progressives or conservatives.

The values that used to distinguish the right and left have blurred. Threats to liberty and freedom now cut across those distinctions. Although the left valued privacy regarding abortion, and the right values privacy regarding gun ownership. Both sides want the freedom to choose what kind of lifestyle they value. The present regime, despite who is in control continues with an agenda of increasing centralized control and increasing taxes.

As government becomes more centralized, it becomes less responsive to the needs of local communities and cities. The citizens become chattel, or products used by the central government to offer up for promissory notes. Neither party wants to de-centralize or down-size despite the rhetoric of valuing those behaviors.

In many ways the people in the Federal agencies stay in place administration after administration and they keep the policies going despite who is in power.

When it comes time for election, look at what the candidates stand for. Will their policies increase or decrease liberty and sovereignty? This is what should be looked at instead of whether they are a democrat, or republican.

Free the South!

Free Texas!
