Lone Star

I was talking to some members of my family over Easter about the status of America. I knew that some of the governors from various conservative states had told Mr Obama that they were not interested in the porkulus money that was being crammed down their throats. I talked about the possibility of some states discussing seceding from the union before Obama's term was over. Well I did not have to wait for that prophesy becoming reality. The governor of Texas, at one of the tea party demonstrations, talked about the sovereignty of Texas and that the 10th Amendment provided protection from tyrannical designs of the federal government. It gave me chills.

My prediction was that the states that relished individual freedoms such as Texas, Utah, Idaho, and Alaska would all be exploring severing ties with the other states to avoid being part of the socialist movement. It may be tough for Utah and Idaho to get out because they are land locked but Texas has precedence as it was once its own country and Alaska is far enough away to make a clean break.

If just one state will take the step forward and demonstrate that they no longer wish to participate in this trampling of our freedoms, it may cause the south to rise again. After all, the Civil War was about states rights, not slavery like what is being crammed into our children's heads. The threat of freedom may just change the mind of those currently in power who wish to destroy our Constitutional liberties. If not, we can always move there once the separation has happened. It beats New Zealand.
