Deletion not secession
Saturday, Oct 31, 2009
Back in 2000 Walter Williams wrote a column titled A Nation Polarized, in which he suggested that we are so divided as a nation that we might want to consider parting ways peaceably, before we find ourselves involved in a civil war once again.
I agree with Dr. Williams; but, I disagree on the terms. Why should we be the ones to leave the union? We are the union. We are the ones who still believe in individual rights and the rule of law. We are the ones who believe in the civil society and our right to keep the fruits of our labor. We are the ones who defend the right to own private property and legally defend it under the second amendment. We are the ones who have fought for equality of opportunity and have strived to ensure that those who could not provide for themselves, by no fault of their own, would be provided for. And yes, we are the ones who have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
It makes absolutely no sense that those of us who defend and uphold the worlds most free society, be the ones forced to leave. No. I suggest deletion instead of secession. That is: We offer those who are hell bent on socialism, a one time offer to part ways with America.
As Dr. Williams pointed out, dividing the country would be the most difficult part. But, unlike Dr. Williams, I don’t believe we conservatives should take the short end of the stick. Give the socialists the North East; and as far as I’m concerned, throw in Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota too.
Conservatives haven’t been the ones threatening violence. Way back in the 2008 primary, there were threats of rioting and burning if Barrack Husein Obama didn’t get the nod. What do you think will happen if he doesn’t get re-elected in 2012?
Liberals are not about to agree with or compromise to anything we conservatives suggest. They are obsessed with the fantasy of a socialist Utopian paradise, and will not stop until they succeed. So, why not start making realistic plans that will keep us from repeating the bloody tragedy that was the American Civil War?
