I have a problem with pledging allegiance to a state. The US is a federation, not a confederation.
"The definition of a Confederate Republic seems simply to be, an "assemblage of societies" or an association of two or more States into one State. The extent, modifications and objects of the Foederal authority are mere matters of discretion. So long as the separate organisation of the members be not abolished, so long as it exists by a constitutional necessity for local purposes, though it should be in perfect subordination to the general authority of the Union, it would still be, in fact and in theory, an association of States, or a confederacy." - Federalist, no. 9
You need to read some Texas History! We were an independent republic first and we retained the right to become a republic again dividing into 5 states. Our state flag does not have to fly below the US flag.
I know you Yankees like to ridicule us Texans, but we have managed to retain some of the original character that created this great state.
Texas will be the last state to bow before the tenets of the secular progressives or the god of liberalism.
“I have a problem with pledging allegiance to a state. The US is a federation, not a confederation.”
Well, I would too if I lived in New Hampshire, however, Texans (real Texans) have as much if not more loyalty to their state than to the US.
I'm having trouble finding this in the constitution of the United States. Could you direct me to the particular section which stipulates that we are a Federation and not a Confederation ?
