I deserve better country men than you. I am not going to cling sentimentally to a defunct Constitution that hasn't been followed for a century and a half. I deserve better. Hopefully the current Illinois President will push into a Constitutional crises over the tenth amendment, I PRAY for it.
Let there be a time of choosing again.
(Matthew 18:8-9)
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
My humble version:
If a state or states causes socialism, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for a Republic to go on maimed or crippled than to have all its states and together be thrown into the eternal fire of collectivism. And if the Federal Government causes you to sin; secede from it, peacefully hopefully but secede just the same.. It is better to govern as a sovereign state, smaller and diminished in power than to be thrown into the fire of centralized Federal usurpation
Your country deserves better citizens than you.
