When a marriage becomes untenable for either the husband or wife, or both, the marriage is dissolved. They get a divorce, and few — outside of religious circles — would argue against their right to divorce or its necessity if one or other of the parties determines there are “irreconcilable differences” and a legal dissolution of the marriage is in his best interest.
Yet when secession — which is the divorce of a state from the nation or divorce of one part of the state from another — is mentioned, people seem to lose their minds. But make no mistake; secession is in the air.
You heard it in Virginia as the General Assembly discussed the very real possibility it would pass legislation to disarm the commonwealth’s citizens.

Yes, of course. Why don't we just build a wall right down the middle. We can call it the Berlin Wall. Because, you know, that worked so fantastically.
ReplyDeleteThe people who call for dividing the country are them I worry about. They feign to identify as true Americans yet it is they who propose to put the borders. What about me and tens of millions like me who do not wish for their lands to be sacrificed to the socialist/commie/marxist. Yet these turds are precisely those who propose that very thing. In fact, I hold them in contempt equal to those who are anti-American.
Better is that no land - zero - be 'awarded' to the anti-American. If you want me onboard, and tens of millions like me, you would rather propose that we together push those bastards clean off the lands throughout this present nation. Why should any land be ceded to them?
Their birthright? Well, they forfeited their birthright when they decided to oppose these United States. There are other countries which I am sure those anti-Americans will find to be suitable.
I am in CA. In every instance whether it is to cede an entire state or to divide an existing state, I have seen my home proposed behind enemy lines. Certainly I am not the only one.
You know what really lies behind this desire to draw borders? It is the deep aversion to fighting. O, how much easier to say, 'Here, take these lands. You stay on that side and we'll stay on this side.' It's unicorns and rainbows to think all will stay copacetic between the factions. These ideological borders are proffered as a substitute for fighting to keep what is yours.
Don't believe me? Look at the 2A giveaway of the last 100 years.
That hasn't gone very well even though much had been given in the name of compromise. Another example is the lands which Israel has forfeited to it's enemies. To keep the peace, towards compromise. There too the peace has not lasted. How much is to be given away to an insatiable enemy? As for me giving away what is mine, I solely reserve that right. No Bob Livingstone, no state of Jefferson, no one but me will decide on that. BFYTW

Some good points. Thanks.
