Tom, you and some of the others need to look up the definition of sedition and treason.
When I was in the military I swore to defend the United States of America from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And, I grew up giving the Pledge of Allegance. My pledge still stands.
And, those folks wanting to seceed need to study some history and look up what Sherman did to Georgia.
This is a sore loser thread.
Dave,
Pretty sure that when I was in the military I swore to protect the constitution, and to protect the country from all enemies both foreign and domestic.
Some will argue, and I fought to protect the right to free speech, that there are forces at work in the government that don't have the American people in their best interest.
By the way....you ever read or had this read to you?
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."
Direct from the Declaration of Independence!
Dave it's not like the folks that are signing these petitions are fighting for slavery....quite the opposite is true. They feel as the founding fathers did that they are being taxed without representation. I know I do.....
