I have no answers.

But the Klaxon alarm has been sounding for over a year now. It started before the election. Actually some of it began before President Trump took office.

The media and perhaps the nation will die on this hill.

The truth? Where does it hide?

The difference between my pool league analogy and our nation - is competition.

With pool leagues there is competition - if you don’t like what is happening in your pool league, you can always quit that league and join another one - or start another one.

That’s the way the Founders set up our Republic when they drafted the Constitution and made the states superior to the federation.

People on FR always flame me for saying this, but as soon as Lincoln forced the Confederate states not to secede - our Republic was lost.

The right of states to secede - for ANY reason - was the ultimate test of our liberty.

Slavery is evil - that’s for sure. I’m not defending slavery.

But if states are forced to comply for ANY REASON - then the United States is no better than the Soviet Union - it is held together by force, not consensus.

That’s what Lincoln did for us.

Flame away.
