If you woke up in Vegas married to a Leftist shrew, would you really want to preserve that marriage and keep the families together?
Think about it. This is what we are married to:
The marriage Metaphor does NOT work. Our forefathers never entered into this union with the idea that it was till death do we part. The propose of the union was to help protect & preserve our rights from primarily foreign aggressors. It was quite implosive as was just demonstrated in the American revolution that should it become destructive to these ends we would get rid of it.
The Federal union is NOT like a marriage.
