They don’t want Guam. Democrats are afraid it will tip over.

What any of us has in common is the flag. The National Football League has sought to destroy that and succeeded.

I am a fourth generation Californian, and if you want the honest truth.
RIGHT NOW I WOULD PREFER THE BLOODSHED.
It would settle the question ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Amen!! We have allowed God, and especially His Son, Jesus Christ to be kicked out of this country.....I think God has taken His Hand of Grace off this once fine country.

And 56 MILLION DEAD BABIES KILLED by their OWN MOTHERS....God does NOT like His PRESENTS to be returned UNOPENED! He will NOT be mocked.

Liberalism is auto-immune disease.

In the past, ruling class viewed peons as tax base and cannon fodders. With liberal left, there is a new twist: peons are also lab rats. Endlessly experimented upon with the same flawed approach until they are all ruined.

We can probably somehow muck our way into the future together but why?

Liberals have destroyed much of what bound us together and made us a nation and they are determined to destroy what remains.

For the best part of 100 years they have attacked patriotism, respect for the Constitution, family values, marriage, Christian religious values, a free market and other common values and ideals that made America what it was and brought us together.

Liberals don’t want to live in the world our forefathers created and we don’t want to live in the world they are trying to create.

Good plan. And build a wall around those sanctuary states who break away from the United States.

In the tax reform, the removal of State tax deductions on IRS returns is going to put severe pressure on those true blue, high tax states.

Jeff Kuhner thinks a major tax revolt is coming in Mass.

Cleaning the swamp and restoring America will take a few decades. It doesn’t happen overnight. With strong leadership and a return to law and order, we can restore our Republic and give it back to We the People.

Here is one aspect of a break up to consider.

It would not be an end to the divisiveness.

Liberals just cannot live and let live.

It isn’t enough for them to have something they like - they are driven to deny others the things that they like or things that liberals don’t like.

If we somehow could divide into two functioning nations, either amicably or not, that attitude on the part of liberals will not change.

The fact that a free state existed on the same continent would be unacceptable to them.

It would stick in their craw in the way they cannot today abide a neighbor with a Trump sign or someone wearing a MAGA hat.

As soon as we split up liberals would resume their campaign against anything, anyone, not liberal and would never be at peace with a neighboring state holding values they disagree with.

I have faith Good will prevail although the struggle will be difficult. Working with some of the great young people at the three parishes I volunteer with, I see them as crucial part of our hope for the future. At 64 years old, I do not intend to give up. “Never give up, never surrender!”.

Do political parties exist to enrich the country or does the country exist to enrich the political parties...........

I do not need a Civil war or one that is not so civil. All I need is another 8% of Texans to wake up and read the information that is out there about Texas secession and how Texas can stand proudly as a Republic once again with the chains of the corruption and usurpation of Washington DC thrown aside.

Now with our own gold depository we have made yet another stride toward independence from the elitist and liberal ruling class before they drag us under.

Having to send $430 billion to the cesspool every year and only seeing about 50% of that come back into our coffers with the rest of that spread into the liberal shiite holes that the low lives have created should bring pause to all Texans.

I suggest to ALL Texans. Go to the Texas Nationalist Movement website and read the pdfs of info that are compiled. Then make a clear decision for #TEXIT. Talk to your Texas Representatives and let's get it voted on and get us the hell off. Our Forefathers of Texas did not imagine us signing onto this sinking ship.

The 62M anti-God perverts have made it very clear they are more than willing to pass laws to throw the 63M deplorable, bitter clingers in jail.

Then there looks like there is only one choice. But do we really have to wear a red arm band?

Since the 70’s, I have seen a fundamental change.

That fundamental change you have seen is the destruction of the family core unit brought on by the FERAL Government and then the move in by the government to fill that void in the duplication of the Communistic Statehood as planned out.

If We the People do not realize that this Communist take over by our FERAL Government has been going on for over 40 years then they have NOT been paying attention.

Now, with George Soros' help and well placed people in politics, they are on the short rows to completion. We are down to less than 50% of We the People that give a shiite anymore or even know who the VP is. Hell, if you ran a poll I would bet the margin between wanting to be a republic (most would not EVEN know what this is) or Communist would be close because of ignorance between the two

It amazes me that it has taken this long for the truth to impress itself on so many minds. It’s like a huge ugly troll in plain sight that no one comments on or even seems to see. I’ve been seeing the troll since 1995.

The pendulum never swings back to the previous point on the right. The center consistently moves to the left. My father told me that 40 years ago using this same analogy and I have seen how right he was.

Hey edie, welcome aboard. What took you so long?

Nevermind that. Why don't you convert a few of your friends?
