The trouble with his talking about secession (instead of, maybe the 10th Ammendment?) is that “secession” carries with it baggage.
What baggage you ask? That would be the baggage of the last secession which will be - mark my words - translated (using Alinsky’s Rule #12 - Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it) by those who want to “demonize’ those opposing the increased growth and intrusion of the Federal gov’t to:
“Neo-Secessionist apparently want turn back the clock 150 years in their desire to revive the Confereracy. People wonder if the governor of Texas also wants to reinstitute slavery, plantations, the fugitive slave law, and the 3/5ths compromise.”
Note for all those who will undoubtedly begin defending the Confederacy, their actions against the North, the evils of Lincoln, how schools have mistaught history, etc, etc, etc -— I am NOT saying I agree with what probably will be said, rather that it WILL be said.
"They" can say anything they want. I just want to be free from Fedzilla
“People wonder if the governor of Texas also wants to reinstitute slavery, plantations, the fugitive slave law, and the 3/5ths compromise.”
Get a grip man, slavery is not an issue today unless you are talking about those on the government welfare plantation.
