Bring It

Well lookie here, some offended souls demand that the growing number of Americans who are petitioning to secede should be stripped of their citizenship and deported.  Please don't throw us in that briar patch; we adore being robbed at gunpoint on a daily basis to support an illicit welfare/warfare state.

In all seriousness, there is little danger that such drastic measures will be taken.  Quite the opposite, as the feds are throwing up more barriers to stop people from escaping, which I mentioned in a previous post.  Maybe soon they'll drop the pretense and borrow some bricks and mortar from Berlin to do the job right.  Trust me, they want us all staying right here in the slaughterhouse so they can feast.  Besides, the feds cannot strip someone of his citizenship without his consent, though I might be reverting to a quaint belief that some scrap of the rule of law still exists.

But let's think for a moment about the twisted nature of those who actually signed this retaliatory petition.  I doubt they have lifted a finger to call for the deportation of illegal aliens swarming across the borders and consuming our resources, yet they demand this against actual citizens merely for exercising free speech.  I have a better idea.  Why don't you all deport yourselves to a nation whose political philosophy is more in line with your own -- Myanmar, perhaps -- and leave America to real Americans who refuse to tolerate tyranny regardless of how popular it is.

It's becoming clear that there's not enough room in this land for both of us.  Many of us believe we should partition the land to go our separate ways.  If that's not in the cards, then the statists among you should heed the words of your hero, Abraham Lincoln, who warned that one side or the other would have to prevail:  "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States."

Those of us who love liberty are willing to fight for it.  Can all of you who despise liberty say the same?
