What about the good people of those states we leave behind? Are their homes, their businesses, their land not worth fighting for, too? Secession would not end the creep of communism or socialism—it would merely redraw the lines. I am an eternal optimist in that I believe in the eventual desire of mankind for freedom from tyranny and oppression. Those systems would not last—my Bible tells me so! Yes, the way would be bloody to endure, and cost lives and dash hopes and be dreary as h*ll, but I have faith that good would prevail. I dare not give up—what would I ever say to George Washington when I get to heaven? (smile!)
Don't leave them behind. That's the whole point of this.
I don't see secession as giving up. I see staying put and hoping to work within a system that has been wholly corrupted futile. Our chances for survival are exponentially better in an independent Republic of Texas than they will be in Barack Hussein Obama's America.
