There is a pretty good case to be made that states DID have the right to leave the union. After all, a bit over 80 years earlier, 13 colonies left the British Empire...
“I do not believe that a homosexual is either a sinner or a barbarian”.
Maybe you don’t, but a huge percentage of Christians do. Something about the Bible...

I am personally sympathetic to this view. Unfortunately, the Civil War ended that view and anyone who wants to revisit this will be considered a Confederate who wants to start another Civil War.
Ever seen the reaction by the MSM to the flying of the Confederate flag in the south?
See here for instance :
BUS DRIVER FIRED FOR FLYING THE CONFEDERATE FLAG

Hence, Bachmann is going to have a problem because she openly declares that one of the major influences in her life is a professor who believes that secession is a right of a state.
Rightly or wrongly this WILL be a source of controversy and she has to be prepared to answer any questions that might arise.
I can’t begin to understand how anyone could ever claim that Homosexuality is not sinful according to Christianity.
Were you talking about some other religion maybe?
