Splitting the USA can PREVENT WAR and

The Future for a Red-State Country is better than a Future Without Splitting

---------- If America keeps going the way it's been going,

the right to act according to one's Christian conscience and freedom of speech and religion

won't be allowed in the USA any more than it is today in Canada or the UK.

The Left is forcing the pace of change of social norms to the point that we are in danger

of something like Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution.

---------- The national debt is almost large enough to

cause investors to be reluctant to lend to the federal government, which would cause

our interest payments to become outrageously expensive.

---------- Government is about justice.

Partisanship is not just about policy.

They are about the basic values and structures of our social order.

The increase in partisanship in America reflects increasing differences in worldview: differences

in beliefs about reality and purpose and whose view of justice is correct.

Increasingly Americans ascribe to one of two fundamentally different systems of justice,

morality, worldview, and religion.

In the past, Americans had Christianity in common, or at least a culture based on Christian

principles.

Now a separate culture based on cultural Marxism taught in universities and promoted in corporate

media is moving farther and farther away from the traditional culture.

Our political goals are opposite.

---------- Everyone who graphs twitter interactions or

shows which blogs link to each other finds that there are only two political groupings

there, and they don't talk to each other much.

There are hardly any centrists.

So dividing the country by ideology would not disappoint the centrists, since people

who call themselves centrists are actually a member of one group or the other.

---------- Over the last 25 years, American politics

has become regional again like it became before the American Civil War.

Republicans or Democrats win more and more counties by 50 percentage points or more.

---------- One group is tied to tradition and the unchanging

Bible.

The other group is following the fads of psychology wherever they lead.

This graph shows how polarized our country has become.

In the 50s, Americans agreed with each other on most issues so Democrats were almost as

willing as Republicans to like Eisenhower.

Since their culture broke free from traditional culture in the 60s, it has moved farther and

farther from traditional culture each decade and will continue to do so.

Every decade since then, people in each party have rejected the decisions of the other party

more and more completely.

As the Bible says, "An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous,

---------- but one whose way is straight is an abomination

to the wicked."

Proverbs 29:7 The biggest source of stress in Americans'

lives today is the future of our nation.

We really are in a crisis, and the status quo will not hold.

Liberal judges have allowed the federal government to take so many powers for itself that it

has become one of the most important things in peoples' lives.

It shouldn't be that way.

Now both sides see the other as evil now.

Neither side wants to compromise with evil, they want to destroy or at least sabotage

evil.

So we can no longer compromise or be a loyal opposition.

Since they really believe the other party's candidate is literally Hitler, then the ends

justify the means.

---------- Americans don't even feel FREE in America

anymore, which is core to our national identity and purpose.

I don't know how much more armed Americans will take.

---------- Trust in government and media in America is

lower than in any of the 27 other countries surveyed.

We don't have paper ballots anymore and election machine hacking has been proven to be easier

than expected.

Would you have believed Hillary if she had claimed to win despite reports of massive

hacking and fraud?

Lack of trust could easily have caused war if both candidates claimed to win, and it

could happen at the next election.

---------- That's why we believe that a negotiated split

of the USA is less likely to lead to civil war over the next two decades than the status

quo.

A former colonel whose job was to determine which countries in the world would break up

realized that our country is first on the list.

He listed other events could cause civil war: impeachment of Trump, especially if he refuses

to recognize the impeachment, or racial attacks, incompetence of a president during a war,

possibly leading to a military coup, terrorist attack, bioweapons, a Gun confiscation law

etc.

---------- The USA is INCREASINGLY DIVIDED into TWO CAMPS

and a NEGOTIATED SPLIT is the ONLY THING that will PREVENT VIOLENT CIVIL STRIFE

---------- We showed in video one that conservatives

aren't numerous enough in the USA to hold 50 states.

So we should settle for the 30 red states that can still maintain, for generations:

a free republic with free speech freedom to religion

Low taxes And an economic future that doesn't involve

national bankruptcy ----------

If we split the country, the red states would eliminate socialism and reduce welfare, so

liberals and people dependent on welfare would move out and entrepreneurs would move in.

Even in the next generation, migration would continue and make every state in the red-state

country more conservative than they've been for awhile.

This effect would prevent states from switching from one country to the other.

---------- Some say we can keep 50 states if we just

get rid of the RINOs in the Republican Party.

But that would make the Republican party too SMALL to keep 50 states because 37% of our

party is liberal or moderate.

Also, conservatives might have a harder time winning independent voters than RINOs do.

---------- But if we settle for 30 states, we don't need

the RINOs.

Imagine Republican primaries without blue states.

If the USA had split that way before these elections, Hillary-state Republicans would

never have been able to get John McCain or Mitt Romney nominated for the Trump-state

country.

Huckabee and Santorum won most of the Trump-state primaries.

---------- And Neither Bill Clinton nor Obama won the

majority of the Trump states.

Imagine how different our country would be if we had never had a President Bill Clinton

or Obama.

---------- We might have a Protestant on the Supreme

Court right now!

Our corporations and schools move left to avoid lawsuits from the Left litigated in

Leftist federal courts.

That's how the left changes our culture.

The gay agenda Transgenderism / Loss of religious liberty and freedom of speech / Loss of federalism

on abortion issue / Refusal to allow Trump to slow immigration.

---------- Before we could wrap our heads around same-sex

marriage, BAM!

We had to justify why we Wanted single sex showers and camp dorms and why we don't want

to fund sex change operations for soldiers?

These were'nt even controversial two years ago.

---------- If you follow non-corporate news such as the

Christian Post or the Daily Signal, you know that religious liberty in the US is under

threat.

You know that it has already been lost in countries such as Canada and the UK, where

progressives have a majority of the voters.

You know that Christians are persecuted and killed in Muslim and Communist countries.

And you know that liberal judges are sabotaging our country.

The only thing that holds our states in a Union is their agreement to the terms of the

Constitution.

But now some liberal federal judges aren't even pretending to follow any form of the

Constitution, as was proven by William Alsupp when he ruled that the President we elected

can't stop operating an illegal program called DACA.

Recently a federal judge ruled that our president shall not stop forcing the Little Sisters

of Mercy to pay for abortions through Obamacare.

---------- So I hope you can see that The Future for

a Red-State Country is Better than a Future Without Splitting

A nation of red-states would never elect a president who would nominate liberal judges,

or elect a congress that would bankrupt our nation.

The Emperor of the United States - Duration: 13:17.

In the 1870s, several economic crises came about in parts of the United States and many

Americans lost their jobs.

From this, a movement against Chinese immigrant labor arose throughout the American West,

leading to the creation of the Workingmen's Party organization and an anti-Chinese attitude

in places like San Francisco.

On the afternoon in question, a group of Chinese immigrants find themselves surrounded on the

street by a mob of angry out-of-work Americans, and it appears that a riot is on the verge

of breaking out.

But before the first brick can be thrown or shot fired, a vagrant in a tattered, blue

Army officer's uniform steps between the two parties.

He wears a beaver hat decorated with a large peacock feather, and the only weapons in his

possession are a rusted sabre and a cane, which he uses to walk.

The vagrant is Joshua Abraham Norton - The Emperor of the United States - and before

we continue, you must first learn how it was that he came to power.

Norton was born in London, England on February 4, 1818, but his mother and father soon moved

to South Africa as part of a government-backed colonization scheme.

They worked there for many years as merchants, eventually amassing a small fortune.

After his mother died in 1846, and his father in 1848, Norton inherited their wealth and

sailed west to America, arriving in San Francisco in late 1849.

At the age of 29, and with $40,000 in hand, or, the equivalent of 1.1 million dollars

by today's standards, he opened a business selling mining supplies in an effort to capitalize

on the gold rush.

Though eccentric, Norton was a brilliant businessman, and he soon jumped into real estate, buying

up the land which is now known as Cow Hollow.

Within no time at all, he became one of the most well-respected and wealthy businessmen

in San Francisco.

In December of 1852, Norton struck upon a new business venture: at the time, China was

facing a severe famine, and had responded by placing a ban on the export of rice.

This caused the price of grain in San Francisco, and places all across the Americas to skyrocket

by over 800%.

A business contact tipped Norton off to an incoming ship that supposedly contained the

last haul of Peruvian rice that would be sent to America that year.

Norton decided to corner the rice market, and when the ship arrived to the mainland,

he quickly invested $25,000 into the venture and purchased the entire 200,000 pound shipment.

Norton's dreams of having a monopoly on grain soon vanished, however, when, less than

a week later, two more ships containing Peruvian rice arrived, causing the market price to

plummet to even lower than before the famine had hit China.

Incensed, Norton sued the man who had misled him about the shipment, and after a long and

costly court case, the California Supreme Court ruled against him.

The bank foreclosed on his real estate, and, having lost everything, Norton declared bankruptcy.

At this point in our story, Joshua Abraham Norton fades from the pages of history, vanishing

from public life.

It is commonly believed that, at the loss of his fortune, Norton disappeared after experiencing

a complete mental breakdown.

He would not be heard from again until September 17, 1859 when he walked into the offices of

the San Francisco Bulletin, and demanded the editor publish the following proclamation:

"At the peremptory request of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I,

Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, and now for the past nine years

and ten months of San Francisco, California, declare and proclaim myself Emperor of these

United States..."

The paper, for whatever reason, decided to humor Norton - and they published the statement

in its entirety.

What may have seemed like a one-off moment of madness took a heightened turn as Norton

soon began making public appearances, dressed in a mixture of Union and Confederate military

regalia, a signature feathered-beaver hat, and a ceremonial saber strapped to his side.

The self-declared Emperor began strolling through the streets of San Francisco, inspecting

the conditions of the sidewalks and cable cars, public buildings, and even ensuring

that police officers made regular patrols to keep the city safe.

He often gathered large crowds together on various corners and launched into lengthy

philosophical expositions on a variety of topics including the state of American politics,

and his plans for the future of his empire.

The public, for what it was worth, ate this persona up.

Within a few months, Emperor Norton had become a local celebrity, and he continued to have

his proclamations and Imperial Decrees published by The Bulletin and other local papers to

the delight of the general public.

On October 12, 1859, he made a decree to formally abolish the United States Congress.

In March of 1860, he issued an imperial decree in which he summoned the Army to depose all

newly-elected officials of the congress.

The Army refused the order.

Hoping to resolve the many disputes that had resulted in the Civil War, Norton issued a

mandate in 1862 that ordered the Roman Catholic Church and all Protestant churches to publicly

ordain him as "Emperor".

On August 12, 1869, fed up with political strife, he declared the complete abolition

of the Democratic and Republican parties.

(Sadly, this order, too, was ignored.)

In 1872, he issued an edict that made it a misdemeanor for anyone to refer to the city

of San Francisco as "Frisco" - and violators would be subject to a fine of $25.

While many of these decrees seem bizarre, Norton occasionally gave orders that would

prove quite prophetic.

He issued instructions for the United States to form a League of Nations, which, a few

decades later, actually happened.

He issued a decree that a suspension bridge be built that would connect San Francisco

to Oakland - an idea that actually became reality on November 12, 1936.

But Norton took his emperorship even further than the occasional newspaper clipping and

public appearance: he would actually write letters to world leaders - and some would

even write back.

In time, Emperor Norton had established real, international relationships.

He even met with Emperor Pedro II of Brazil.

King Kamehameha of Hawaii, toward the end of his life, refused to recognize the U.S.

State Department, saying instead that he would deal only with Emperor Norton.

Locally, Norton excelled at public relations.

He was a beloved public figure, and a constant attendant of the city's churches, theatres,

civic gatherings, and commencements.

Shops soon began selling Emperor Norton merchandise (including dolls, cartoons, postcards, and

cigars) which only caused his popularity to increase.

Soon, he was a living tourist attraction.

Though a vagrant, Norton's celebrity allowed him to enjoy several comforts.

He rented a room in a cheap boarding house for half a dollar a night, he had his own

reserved box seats at several theatres, and restaurants would let him eat for free, knowing

it would bring in customers.

The city gave him a free rail pass and allowed him to use public transportation at no cost

- retail stores would give him free clothing, so they could advertise that *they* outfitted

the Emperor, and most upscale establishments let him in at no charge.

He EVEN printed his own currency - which several business in San Francisco honored.

The outside observer might come to the conclusion that Norton had completely lost his mind - but

through it all, he remained quite the businessman.

He would speak with anyone who wished to meet him - and he made a nice collection of royalties

for every piece of Emperor Norton merchandise that local stores sold.

Despite his reputation as a rogue, unelected and unrecognized world leader, Emperor Norton

only had a single run-in with United States Law Enforcement: In 1867, a policeman named

Armand Barbier arrested him for vagrancy, and then, after a few conversations, further

charged him with lunacy.

Local newspapers immediately wrote scathing editorials informing the public of his imprisonment,

and, during his hearing, outraged citizens poured into the courtroom to protest.

Seeing the massive public backlash led the local police chief Patrick Crowley to release

the Emperor and issue a formal apology on behalf of the entire police force - in fact,

he issued an order for all San Francisco officers from that point forward to salute Emperor

Norton if they passed him in the street.

For his part, Norton granted an "Imperial Pardon" to the man who arrested him.

Whether this was the general public enabling a man suffering from insanity, or simply all

an act by a businessman who knew how to turn a profit, is still hotly debated to this day

- but in the two decades Norton reigned, the truth didn't matter.

Even a man with self-appointed power can have that power if all others are willing to give

it to him.

Which leads us back to the streets of San Francisco sometime in the mid 1870s…

Where Joshua Abraham Norton - The Emperor of the United States, stands between an angry

mob and a group of Chinese immigrants.

The out-of-work men of San Francisco pause their attack at the sight of the emperor.

The men fall silent, and, with their full attention, Joshua Abraham Norton bows his

head and begins to recite the Lord's Prayer.

"Our father which art in heaven hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts

as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom And the power

And the glory, forever.

Amen."

The Emperor continues to quote scripture over, and over, and over... and after a few minutes,

the mob disperses - the incident ends without injury.

Years later, on the rainy evening of January 8, 1880, Emperor Norton collapsed on the corner

of California Street and Dupont Street (now Grant Avenue) in front of Old St. Mary's Church

while on his way to a lecture at the California Academy of Sciences.

A nearby police officer (who just happened to be on patrol) immediately came to his aid

and requested a carriage to take him to the hospital.

Norton died before the carriage could arrive.

It was soon discovered that Norton, in his final years, lived and died in poverty.

He had five dollars in change in his pocket, and in his room at the boarding house was

a single gold coin worth $2.50, a collection of walking sticks, his saber, a few tattered

hats, a single franc, a collection of Emperor Norton imperial bonds, some telegrams, a few

letters, and 98 shares in a defunct gold mine.

Though he had scarcely enough money to his name for a coffin, several area clubs and

businessmen donated money to give him a proper burial.

The Emperor was laid to rest on a Sunday, two days after his death.

30,000 people lined the streets for his funeral.

A day later, a total eclipse occurred over the city.

And just like that, the light went out in San Francisco.

In Battle Pitting Cities Vs. States Over Minimum Wage, Birmingham Scores A Win - Duration: 6:27.

In Battle Pitting Cities Vs. States Over Minimum Wage, Birmingham Scores A Win

A federal appeals court handed workers in Birmingham, Ala., a significant win this week.

The city is in a battle against state lawmakers over whether it has the right to raise its minimum wage.

The Birmingham workers and the Alabama legislature have been fighting in court since the city voted to increase its minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, from $7.25, in February 2016.

That hike never took effect.

The state legislature swiftly passed a law barring municipalities like Birmingham from setting their own minimum wage.

The case — filed by a group of fast-food workers, the NAACP and other worker groups — argued that the state's majority white legislature discriminated against the majority black city.

On Wednesday, the 11th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, reversing a judge's earlier decision to dismiss the workers' suit.

In its decision, a three-judge panel ruled the state's preemption law violated 14th Amendment's equal protection rights.

It called the state's actions "rushed, reactionary, and racially polarized.".

This is just the latest development in a kind of cat-and-mouse game has been raging between cities and states for the last few years.

Cities or counties with higher costs of living have increasingly adopted minimum wage increases well above the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour.

Then state legislatures fight back by setting statewide caps.

This is known as state preemption.

According to the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy group, 25 states have passed preemption laws.

In 2016, the group of Birmingham workers became the first city in the country to file suit.

This latest ruling does not mean the wage hike will take effect; it only means the workers will likely be able to take their case to court.

An eventual ruling on their underlying case could have major implications for workers in other cities locked in similar battles with their state lawmakers.

"The voices of low-wage workers in Birmingham were heard," said Scott Douglas, executive director of Greater Birmingham Ministries, one of the parties to bring the suit.

He says the state legislature abused its power.

"Where that comes from is Alabama's history of denying black-controlled counties and cities the right to home rule," or local self-governance, he says.

The issue of local control is a big one, and not just on the issue of the minimum wage.

Laura Huizar, a staff attorney for the National Employment Law Project, says state preemption is very controversial because it affects a whole range of policies — including gun regulations, anti-discrimination and paid-leave laws, and bans on plastic bags.

"More and more local leaders and local communities are realizing that they have to stand up and defend their local rights, or all of these state preemption bills are going to erode their ability to practice and exercise local democracy," Huizar says.

The crux of the Birmingham court battle — and similar cases out of Minneapolis and Miami Beach — is fundamentally a legal question; it's a fight over whose law should prevail.

There is also a separate, economic debate about the impact of raising the minimum wage in cities — and who benefits.

Those in favor of raising the minimum wage argue it puts more money into workers' hands, which helps both families and businesses.

It's not that simple, says Michael Strain, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

He says a city risks driving employers out into surrounding suburbs by increasing their cost of doing business.

"You have the kind of classic trade-off, where there are reductions in employment among minimum-wage workers, but minimum-wage workers who get jobs and keep jobs end up bringing in more money," he says.

Meanwhile, the group of Birmingham fast-food workers who brought the case must wait for the next stage of the legal fight.
