Fly the Rattler Flag

These days, there are many things that physically unite people, as Americans; people that would otherwise never know of the existence of another. We are united in interests and endeavors, at least on one level or another. Other times, people are united only in ideology, though never fully knowing of the others existence; rarely recognizing another of like-mind.

A Roman senator once suggested decreeing the placement of white armbands on all slaves to tell them apart from the rest of the plebs at public events. You see, the slaves were not "race"-specific, so they looked just like anyone else.

The suggestion was soon dismissed by another senator, stating that the slaves would revolt if they saw how many of them there actually were.

I know that there is a great number, a very great number, of men and women that know the same facts as I, that interpret the facts the same way as I, and that deal with the facts the same way as I.

Could I recognize them on the street? Could I notice them at a distance? Could I know them by driving past their house, or simply by the appearance of their car?

In most cases, no.

But, what symbol? What emblem? What common color, or what unifying standard?

Why not one of the first unifying flags of this Republic?

Put it on your websites; make t-shirts; fly it outside of your home; just do something with it!

It seems that the dissenting citizens of America cannot get organized; let this stand for our organization. Let this banner serve as our unifying symbol.

Recent Poll Results

A unanimous vote for the independent states of Kansas and Oklahoma to join the Republic of Texas in the event of a secession, on the condition that the states retain total sovereignty, has been cast.
While this union of states is entirely hypothetical and, at least for now, just-for-fun, what would a plausible appellation be for such a political body?

My current thought would be for something along the lines of "The United Republics of Texas", but one must keep in mind that such a union would be for the benefit of the three states, and not just for Texas. Each state would contribute to the whole: Kansas being the main crop provider, as it is "America's Breadbasket"; Texas being the main oil and trade provider, as it is rich in "Texas Tea"; and Oklahoma providing... cool license plates.

All name suggestions will go into the next poll.

I Don't Think She's In Kansas Anymore

Kathleen Sebelius, the Tyrant of Topeka; the Fürhrer of the Flatlands; the Sunflower Stalin; the woman who puts the "Wich" in Wichita has been appointed by BO to health secretary.

"Go, Pilgrim, and declare it from the gently rolling Flint Hills to the snowcapped Rocky Mountains, from the softly flowing Neosho to the raging Missouri; shout it from the summit of Mt. Sunflower, 'Sebelius is leaving Kansas!'"

Yes, Kansas' little Pookie has now been chosen by the Big O to be health secretary.

Did I mention she's for abortion?

Pro-murder, and anti-gun. Yeah... great health secretary. May God Save America.

Perhaps Kansas will get a semi-sane governor. Then again, perhaps we can rent out our ocean-front property on the east coast of Kansas.

Takers, anyone?

Montana: The Firearm Freedom State

(Oddly similar to the Kansan flag)

Montana has been on the sunny side of the Second Amendment since it signed on to the U.S. Constitution when it became a state in 1889.

Most recently, it played a major role in the D.C. gun-ban Supreme Court case, with its legislature basically stating that they would consider secession if the Supreme Court ruled against the Second Amendment, since Montana became a state on the condition that the Second Amendment guaranteed an individual's right to keep and bear arms.

Now comes the news that Montana has a bill that has passed the Montana House of Representatives that would exempt all Montana made firearms in the hands of Montana citizens from Federal gun laws.

More and more we are seeing a new era in our country's history, a new state's rights era; an era that may prove to be the largest genuine movement of discontent among the states in America since the 1860's.

And it's about time, too! Now Kansas is suspending income tax refunds due to insufficient funds! Now is the time for the states to take back control for the people, the control guaranteed to them by the Tenth Amendment and the very nature of our form of government.

The full legislation may be read at American Memorandum.

Vexillogical Profile Picture

I get very sentimental over certain things like freedom, the Bible and God's teachings, individual liberty, the Constitution, America... raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens... and profile pics. (And brown-paper packages tied-up with strings; these are but a few of my most sentimental things.)

It was a difficult decision, but I have currently dropped my previous profile picture and replaced it with a little bit of a creative vexillogical artistry. Sort of. I guess.

New Poll

"Should Kansas and Oklahoma join the Republic of Texas in the case of a Secession?"

If you have a different answer, or if you have a comment on the poll, please give it in the comments box.

The UnUnited States of America

This is a simple map showing how many states have declared themselves a sovereign state and how many are planning such a measure.

I think we can just forget about California, though; it doesn't count. (Kidding!)

Kansas appears to be preparing legislation, much to my delight, as well as the rest of the central states.

There has been some discussion around my house about Kansas and Oklahoma joining the Republic of Texas in an alliance of states, since Texas has a greater GDP than many countries its size.

But what would such an alliance be called? The United States of Texas? The Texan Alliance of States? The Texan Confederation? The Republic and Commonwealths of Texas? The possibilities are endless.

For ten years, the Republic of Texas was a sovereign nation, the only state in the Union to previously be so. Its borders encompassed parts of Oklahoma and Kansas in its brighter days, as well as New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming, before Texas was annexed to the Union.

If or when the U.S. falls, will we have another secession era?
Most likely, I would say; what is questionable, though, is what factions will side with whom?

Okay, Turkish tenor, maybe; no offense to Turks.

She should take lessons from this kid:

New Look

I hope you don't mind, but I had a moment of discontent with my previous template; I found this one quite satisfactory and intriguing.

Hope you like it!
