I’m not certain who “Polly” is that you mention. Not certain if you threw that out in sarcasm, or name calling, or as an abbr for “probably”, nonetheless...

We need to fight for our nation, not give it away.
Bullies ONLY understand violence in their own face.

So, what, it is suggested we give half the Nation away?
Then what?
You think they stop there?

No.
Living in Florida, I’ve seen the leftists destroy their home States, then moved here to implement the same garbage that made then leave home, only to destroy their next home. They’re like drug addicts, continually choosing poorly and destroying everything in their path.

Today you suggest we give away half the nation to communists.
Tomorrow they week be trying to take half again.
They’re parasites and they need to be crushed.
Their thirst for control is insatiable.
It will never end, unless we end it.
Now
These United States...50 of them.
Give up nothing
Give your blood

Our founding fathers pledged EVERYTHING for this nation.
Their lives
Their fortunes
Their sacred honor
Many lost everything for this nation

As for me and my house, we pledge the SAME
WE DO NOT GIVE GROUND TO ENEMIES

PERIOD

And those who suggest to give up are like those who kneel before their oppressors.

I will NEVER kneel
I’ll take my bullet standing up, or die fighting.

To others...
May your chains rest lightly upon you as we forget that you were our countrymen

History is written by the victors.

A truism, but this time the West led by the US and other more or less market economy nations completely defeated the East Bloc and the Soviet Union imploded. So how are these shits, losers, and criminals now behaving like victors getting ready to purge their opponents.

I don’t think they ever would have been slaves in Wisconsin.


Of course not. The Continental Congress outlawed slavery in the Northwest Territory in 1787. That would be the Founding Fathers, kids. They couldn’t stop it where it already was, but they stopped it from spreading north and west of the Ohio River.

You are being a dolt. Separating into two or three separate nations is a creative process and not a destructive process.

Again what buffoons you Pollyanna unionists are. Stuff your platitudes. We are not one nation. Hell we are not two or three.

We must secede to succeed.

For some strange reason to some Freepers, secessionists are worse than AntiFa and BLM .

So let me get this straight...

Because I don’t agree to surrender half of the US to communism...I’m...according to you...”a dolt”?

Remind me again...
Which side are you on?

No, the other half will be free. Or have chance at freedom. Get it.

By your surrender monkey French military wisdom...

Should we have just taken three colonies against the British?
After all, most colonists didn’t want war with England

Should we have given up Hawaii and the western states to the Japanese?

Should we have simply let the northeast states become western Germany?

Should we simply have donated the world trade towers to Islamists?

Is this what you’ll do when they come to burn loot and murder YOUR home? Give them the keys and your family?

And when they come for the remaining half?
Will you give up half again?

Because they WILL come for that too.

You smash a bully in the face
You don’t give up your lunch money.

Most everyone learned this by second grade

What boob. You are holding to a sentimental view of a united free USA, one that no longer exists. Look around, history is being dissolved. WE ARE A HOUSE DIVIDED YOU IGNORAMUS. Wouldn't anyone who want freedom also want to live in a real Constitutional Republic albeit smaller than the original USA then what we have now? Dividing the USA physically is a CREATIVE processes and just a destructive one.
Matthew 18:8-9 tells us:

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.

In like fashion I give you the Litany of Secession:

If a state or states causes socialism, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for a Free 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

Post a sign on the statue saying “Remove this statue now! No one should be honored for freeing blacks!” Place the black student union logo on the sign as well.

You’ve devolved into name calling.

No more replies well be forthcoming.

Call antifa and BLM and surrender your own home and family.

Don’t surrender mine, or those of the people I love

We will fight.
Even for you

What a joke. If a group of states wants to leave the USA and start over as Constitutional Republic I will go there and fight with them if necessary. Don't try to stop it.
