Folks starting to think about secession and the rest. One thought is something
analogous: refounding.
Could be a great opportunity, could be fraught. The following may be
interesting to provoke thought.
A Common-Sense Solution

The real America needs a refounding.
Human life is never quite as stable as we’d like, but we live in uniquely
unsettling times. Some of us are angry. Many of us are worried. All of us are
anxious about an uncertain future. In these circumstances, the bombastic,
triumphal optimism of the pro-Biden crowd - just take a look at CNN for about
10 seconds and you’ll see what I mean - is obviously the product of deep
insecurity. Like a 5’8” teenager driving a souped-up F150, it’s clear that the
façade of Biden’s popular mandate to govern is masking a dangerously hollow
reality.
..Today, this common creed has vanished. We are two Americas: Biden’s
America and Trump’s America.
..“Give me liberty or give me death,”
..It is high time for an American re-founding; not a “secession” or
“separation,” but a “perpetuation” of self-evidently true American political
principles embodied in a new political Union. This is what the United American
Counties could be.
Limited and local government is the foundation of a genuine republic.
The natural right to religious liberty—of both worship and exercise—exists
beyond politics, taking precedence over all rights merely positive, civil, or
legal.
- The natural right to life for all human beings at all ages and stages
of development is entitled to recognition, respect, and protection.
- The natural family begun in marriage between one man and one woman is
the cornerstone of society.
- The right to private property is fundamental, and should only be
regulated as absolutely necessary to maintain free markets, equal opportunity,
and the fair reward of industry and merit.
- All citizens should be educated to understand the meaning and
importance of American political principles, and equipped to become informed,
active participants in our local, regional, and national systems of government.
- Citizenship in the United American Counties is available to all who
understand, profess, and commit to uphold the principles in this Declaration,
regardless of national origin, racial or ethnic identity, or religious belief.
The common sense of 1776 dictated the American Revolution. The common
sense of 2020 dictates the creation of a new political vehicle for perpetuating
the true principles of the Revolution.
Biden’s Urban America has already seceded from the United States of
America that many of us know and love. Trump’s Counties can be a life raft for
the American experiment in its most dire hour of need.
