Red Counties that voted against Obama, won't put up with his extreme leftist urban agenda. Seccession is a viable option.

Eric & Tom,
I believe the Endowment of unalienable rights are much more comprehensive than any particular political categorization, and therefore, disassociate myself with such parties. And that includes Libertarians. The only thing I want to be know in the eyes of others is that I am first, a child of God, second, A Husband, Father, and Grandfather. Third, an Independent American.
As I do believe there are only two sides in the political and economic fight for Freedom, those sides are clearly defined in my mind; made up of specific principles designed to eradicate any ambiguity between the two.
One side is the present political spectrum, made up of a two-party system. The Democrats and Republicans are corrupt and two sides of the same evil coin.
Heads: Democrats/Liberalism/Communism
Tails: Republicans/Conservatism/Fascism
Neither of these has a monopoly on the principles of Liberty and both are wrought with centrist compromise for said Liberty. Neither are effective machines for restoring our country as a constitutional Republic.
The other side are those who understand their Endowment, are squarely living the principles of Liberty to the best of their ability, and have no fear propounding those principles upon the the body politic. First and foremost of those principles rest squarely upon the belief and faith in a Power greater than themselves; their creation being the result of this greater Power. Of course, you are free to call Him whatever you want, but certainly, no perspective of Freedom and the empowering effect upon society will ever properly materialize from ideal to real without this first principle.
That means, anyone choosing not to believe in a Power greater than themselves-a Power which is inclined to bestow upon all His creation an Endowment which reflects the proper use of power for the perpetuation of Liberty-will never offer a proper perspective in manifesting the ideal of Liberty to a sound and firm reality. And that would include many atheistic Libertarians.
It is my hope that all those who aspire to be truly free, that they seek to transcend above this spectrum and become the embodiment of a shining light that reflects the truer and absolute meaning of the Endowment so bestowed upon all men by their Creator. Until one understands the Endowment, and from Whom it is bestowed, will any proactive approach to living free will not be tainted.
So, in a phrase, we need to tear down and rebuild the whole political practice in this nation. Then, reaffirm the US Constitution with Laws of Clarification to shore up the Original Intent in the use of Power, where it originates, and how it is politically wielded. And that will start only when we have confessed that we have created problems bigger than our ability to fix and once again acknowledge the Power that can. Independence can only be achieved by acknowledging our dependence upon it's Source.

Actually, it's the Democrats who are both the Communists and the Fascists. Republicans, for the most part, are just squishy moderates. Though, the GOP includes a healthy and growing libertarian wing: Sarah Palin, Tom McClintock, Jeff Flake, Mark Sanford, et.al.
I know McClintock got a Ron Paul endorcement, and I liked his guvinatorial platform when he ran against Schwarzenegger.
But maybe you can do me a favor and show me how Palin is libertarian leaning, even a little.
a few others: Ron Paul of course, Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
