The right has its own utopian vision, a vision that, frankly, is no more realistic than that of the Left. And that vision is made manifest with the ever increasingly cry on the Right that we must "look to the Constitution" in order to re-establish the Republic of our founders.
Really? Well educated conservatives and their elk-just about the only folk who are truly "well educated" these days-believe that this "Founding Document" together with the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance are sort of a "magic talisman" that will whisk back to a time of sanity and patriotism. But sadly, it would seem that the Right is no better at observing history than is the Left.
The Constitution, on the other hand, is a much more difficult issue. It must be remembered that it was born in deceit-and such a beginning seldom bodes well for the ultimate outcome. The convention called at that time was presented as an attempt to cure the weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation, which admittedly were many. But there were those who never intended to "fix" the Articles, but to abandon them and establish a different set of governing rules that included a "federal" (or central) government and, therefore, the nightmare of the former colonists, the possibility of a standing army.
It is also interesting to note that the writer of the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson, was in France when the convention was called. It seems very strange given Jefferson's importance in all that went before, that he should be unavailable to lend his wisdom to the proceedings-or might that not have been the plan all along: that is to say Thomas Jefferson would not be available to influence what was to come.
Take, for instance, the right to secession. That right was not directly mentioned in the Constitution even though three states-Virginia, New York, and Rhode Island-had put secession clauses into their ratification documents. As these documents were accepted by all signatories and as in any contract or compact, no signatory has more or fewer rights than any other signatory, secession was given upon the ratification of the Constitution! Indeed, the matter was so "settled" that twice the New England States convened to consider it.

Our Party responds: We to believe in the God given right of secession and concur with the article's conclusion. The United States was a nation born of secession so they cannot forbid it to others without appearing as blatant hypocrites! Secession is as American as apple pie. The fact of the matter is anything you cannot leave voluntarily is either a toxic relationship, a criminal enterprise, a psychotic cult, or a tyrannical government. Therein is the revolutionary aspect of our Party because we advocate the formation of a White People's Republic as a free and independent nation completely separated from what is now the United States. Likewise, we also believe with the adoption of the Constitution the role of the states was not clearly defined as they were in the Articles of Confederation which inevitably led to the Civil War. We have often wondered how America would be if the convention did the job it was elected to do and reformed the Articles of Confederation instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater and swearing everybody to secrecy and forbidding media from entering and replacing the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution. The idea that none of the delegates had any good proposals to reform the Articles of Confederation was a myth. The Federalists were actually Centralists whereas the Anti-federalists were the true Federalists!
