Vey well stated series of post vagabond.
You and I seem to have a lot in common concerning the pervue of the federal government.
I think that the federal goverment has far exceeded the authority and power that our founding fathers had in mind.
We have a federal government that institutionally seems to have forgotten that it is "we the people" that are the real soveriegn power in this country. Far too many of those currently inside that institution, living in their gated communities, seem to think we are there to serve THEM, instead of them serving us.
I assure you that this isn't what our founders had in mind.
As one example: I give you Nacy Pelosi. Even though polss show that 70+% of the American people are in favor of increased off shore drilling. She is abusing her power and blocking it.
Just who the hell does she think she is to thart the will of the people in such a fashion? She obviously has forgotten that she was sent to the Hill to work "for" us.
Again, not the issue at hand.
There should be no WOD. There should be no WOP. The IX and X amendments should be the FIRST AND FOREMOST of all others!!!!!!
But if you ask whether there is a "right" to secede, the answer is NO.
I can only be thankful to nature's creator that it seems people such as George Washinton, Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock, Alexander Hamilton, Francis Marion, Nathaniel Greene, and Samuel Adams seem to have disagreed with you and bid you a good night. Cheers! 
That is such a non-response as to be silly. You basically say "well if I want to do something, I have the cover of the Founding Fathers to do whatever I want -- and I can list their names, too!"
Again you pick and choose what the Creator is Ok with and what He is not.
If the Southron states didn't want to be part of the USA, they should not have joined.
I can do so within a certainty. If The right would exist in the absence of government, and the right can does not interfere with anyone else's right, then I would argue these are rights extended to us by the creator and that we create governments as a way to protect them. Life, Liberty, Property, and the pursuit of Happiness all fall into this category. Robbing a liquor store would deprive someone else of his property, therefore it is not a natural right.
The union, such as it was created, was meant to preserve liberty. If the union ceases, or has ceased, to preserve liberty and instead exists only to preserve itself then, since it no longer serves the purpose it was created and joined, states are able to choose to leave.
