Greenville, SC - 'Christian Exodus' sees Upstate as promised land

Christian Exodus, according to their website,
is moving thousands of Christians to South Carolina to reestablish constitutionally limited government founded upon Christian principles. This includes the return to South Carolina of all "powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States." 1 It is evident that the U.S. Constitution has been abandoned under our current federal system, and the efforts of Christian activism to restore our Godly republic have proven futile over the past three decades. The time has come for Christian Constitutionalists to protect our American principles in a State like South Carolina by interposing the State's sovereign authority retained under the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.


The folks described in the article put it in an intriguing fashion:

South Carolina may not be flowing with milk and honey, but it looks like the promised land to the leaders of this group, which hopes to relocate thousands of conservative Christian families like the Janoskis from across America to the Palmetto State. Their aim: to tip the political scales, which they see as already weighted heavily to the right, further in that direction. Secession "is a valid option," said Janoski, a "state coordinator" for the organization -- but he hopes it doesn't come to that.

I think somebody should tell these folks that South Carolina already tried secession, and it is not in fact "a valid option." At least, not since 1865.
