The argument for secession is spelled out on a monument to the Confederate war dead that stands on the grounds of the Texas Capitol.
In real Texan's minds, it's NOT fiction.
It AIN’T fiction!
Oh, and don’t MESS with Texas!
I have gone over most of this entire thread... And I find many silly arguments...
It absolutely does not matter any legal impediment nor right - Constitutional or otherwise...
We, as God given Free People have the Right to cast off any imposed government any time we please...
Yes - such an act could cause war or may not... depending upon the acceptance of such acts by the populace...
No government has the eternal right to exist... especially when the governed are extremely dissatisfied with the actions of the government.
If this were not the case - then all of us would still be under the command of the descendants of King George the III of England.
Yes - any such actions to cast off our so called government could and would likely result in confrontation, conflict or even war ...
But to say it could not be allowed is simply inappropriate, inaccurate, and inapplicable. Because what will happen when free women and men are subjugated, manipulated and taxed beyond tolerance is simply not controllable.
When the ‘critical mass’ is reached... and with what egregious acts are happening now in this country - the critical mass will be reached sooner or later. Then when that time comes — the government will be ‘cast off’.
And a ‘new beginning’ will commence.
Other arguments restricting such - be damned.
No federal taxes are allowed to be collected in Texas.Texas establishes its own income tax system and decides how much, if any, to send to the federal government.
Its pay to play , baby!
Nullifiation~!
I’d put it this way. Every state has a God-given right to *try* to nulify unjust federal law.
I noticed the date at the bottom. 1865!
