I thought this article from the Vermont Commons the newspaper of the Vermont independence movement was an interesting one contrasting the different perspectives of the secession movements in the South and the one in Vermont but also their common goal.
Here are some articles for your consideration:
- Another good one from Vermont Commons on abolishing ursury in Vermont.
- J.J Jackson’s latest “Would You Bet Your Life?
- Chuck Baldwin’s latest: “Is the Day of the Great Leaders Past?”
- Dave Harsayni over at Reason wonders why liberals insist upon choice for abortion but in overall health care policy in “Freedom to Confuse”
- Want some scary reading? Take a gander at Seymour Hersh’s latest on the security of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons
- Blackwater’s bribes an what they by, even in the Obama Administration by Jeremy Scahill in The Guardian

I wonder if supporting a partly suicidal and uncivilised Vermont movement isn’t a mistake (as opposed to seeking out another group)?
I won’t say more, and I’m sure they’ve thought the same thing in the reverse – just something to consider.
My usual addition: we see from the British Isles that some secessionist groups are… I’ll just say suicidal. I don’t like too many Yankees being down South, but I kinda want them to survive and be happy too.

That on usury is good. Francis had said (or so my memory vaguely recalls) that Greens are partly right wing, albeit coming from the left. That truth is revealed in the Vermont article.
Those might not be “Greens”, but they’re clearly partly right wing – better than the vile, Marx-loving Celt-hating & English-hating “Celtic nationalists”; I’ll grant them that. I say that as someone who’s currently learning Scottish Gaelic and whose descent partly reflects such an orientation.
