To create that thing you dismiss as an 'abstraction' cost over 50,000 American casualties out of a total population of less than 3 million.
So in your twisted neo-confederate hatred of this nation, I suppose you consider Washington to be a butcher as well.
So, if the folks of Texas, let’s say, decide they don’t want the Marxist hell that Hillary, let’s say, wants to impose (with gobs of homosexual, abortion and anti-Christian agenda): then she would be justified in murdering a million or so.
Washington was a totally matter. Colonies decided to secede from Britain and wanted to go peacefully. It was King George who wanted to preserve the union.
And no I do not love this country enough to murder masses of its citizens to keep it together. It’s people that I love and not governments or countries. Rather twisted thinking of yours. God have mercy on you (and I never take that name in vain).
