H.I.F.

Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network ran this piece today, claiming that secession movements are picking up steam. Drudge linked to it. Now The Daily Bell is talking about it.

Could secession movements actually succeed? Bill Kauffman did a nice job discussing the different movements and their legitimacy in Bye Bye, Miss American Empire: Neighborhood Patriots, Backcountry Rebels, and their Underdog Crusades to Redraw America's Political Map. If this (quixotic?) idea has you intrigued, I highly recommend it.

If you're a fan of the principle of subsidiarity, I would think the movement would interest you and you'd be a proponent. I know I am. But then again, I think the Articles of Confederation should've been tweaked, not thrown away. The old United States would've run far closer to subsidiarity lines than the current U.S. of A.
