"Although, I want no part of secession, at some point there Will soon be another line drawn in the sand. When that happens, ..(pause) Well, whatever it takes to preserve the Constitution and a Free People."

Whatever it takes? But what if that means secession?

The last time the line was drawn in the sand those who chose to preserve the Constitution and remain a Free People made that choice. They lost.

The Constitution by itself cannot make us a free people. They key to limited government is divided government. And without the independence of the States the Federal government will surely rule us. This has been proven by history.

So while secession is not required to secure liberty, it would seem that the right to it certainly would be.

Whatever it takes.....

Yes, the last time secession was attempted , the people whom Jefferson Davis said “just want to be left alone”, were not left alone and although the South fired the first shots, they were most certainly goaded into it.
Even though that effort to secede ultimately failed, the conditions and reasons are different now. States, perhaps starting with Texas (I am a Texan) ought to demand their independence or secede. Enough is enough already. The people who have worked all thier lives and been taxed to near poverty for it, for causes that only serve to buy more votes for those in power have to put a stop to it.
