This was posted a year ago, but King Barry Soetoro's actions to accelerate the collapse of the United States may portend that the US will collapse. Most Biblical scholars don't see (and neither do I) the US mentioned in End Times prophecy. Why would the world's current Economic and Military Superpower not be mentioned in End Times events that many Biblical scholars say are rapidly approaching?
I believe that Obama's actions are accelerating the dissolving of our Union. I don't want this to happen. We are AMERICA. I support our Senate. I support our House. I support our government.
Support our Senators and Representatives that resist UN-Constitutional actions.
Avoid Civil War.
I and my brothers have seen the horrors of war.
Most Americans have not.
Believe me, you don't want to see it.

Sweetest you. If Texas secedes, can you even begin to imagine that mad dash?
I love that area! I’m so happy for you!!
No, I’m doing poorly, but that’s another story.
I’m severely depressed.
Yes! I hope Texas secedes!
I love Texas!
Seriesly Chief?
Hiya Chief!
Indeed! If Texas secedes, it’s Texas here I come!
GOOD to see you.
XOXOXO
The way things are going, I may move to Texas too. LOL
THAT would be great, NEIGHBOR!
I can take comfort in the fact that the Democrats lost 9 seats in the statehouse here in South Dakota. That’s 9 fewer Democrats than they started with. The Democrat party is an endangered species here. They got shellacked here too. :)
Onyx, my dear, I realized that Texas would be the final 'safe ground' years ago. That's why I moved my wife and kids here nine years ago.
If you need a safe haven to plant your stake here, you only need ask. There are a lot of Texans who would be more than happy to help you make the transition.
It is also loaded with homosexuals.
More about amateur analysts than the Bible itself.
T v W
“The Union of the States never was a purely artificial and [74 U.S. 700, 725] arbitrary relation. It began among the Colonies, and grew out of common origin, mutual sympathies, kindred principles, similar interests, and geographical relations. It was confirmed and strengthened by the necessities of war, and received definite form, and character, and sanction from the Articles of Confederation. By these the Union was solemnly declared to ‘be perpetual.‘
And when these Articles were found to be inadequate to the exigencies of the country, the Constitution was ordained ‘to form a more perfect Union.’
It is difficult to convey the idea of indissoluble unity more clearly than by these words. What can be indissoluble if a perpetual Union, made more perfect, is not? “
No, it is not. Particularly since secession by a State or a group of States doesn't 'dissolve' the Union, as the Union still exists....it merely changes the membership.
And as Tucker clearly stated, it's an ability the States possessed both before as well as after the writing of the Constitution.
You may hold that opinion and feeling but you`re legally and factually wrong, end of story.
Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States, would bind the minority; in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes; or by considering the will of a majority of the States, as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules has been adopted. Each State in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation then the new Constitution will, if established, be a federal and not a national Constitution.
Federalist, no. 39 James Madison, 16 Jan. 1788

Texas vs White is nothing more than a governmental edict of forced association among the States, and there's nothing Constitutional about it.
If you were factually accurate plenty of States would have left by now.
Hasn`t happened for good reason, reality.
Article I Section 10.
No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation... No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
The founders seceded from the United States in order to form the United States???
Read it again.
