I would like to
pour out my heart to all the states that are petitioning to secede from the
Union. It is now all 50 states that are doing it on Whitehouse.gov. Allow me to
give you the words of Peter Morrison, a treasurer of the Hardin county
Republican party in Texas, who sparked secession in his e-newsletter. Please
note that I only have what was on the Texas Observer:
“Like
the remainder of Lee’s army after Gettysburg, it is our duty to keep fighting
to the bitter end, in hopes that Providence might shine upon our cause before
it is too late. We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the
baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity. But in due
time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting
corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity.
[...]
“They”
re-elected Obama last night. He is their President. And we must
admit to ourselves at some point, it is now their country. Just as
Scotland is currently contemplating her own independence from Great Britain, it
is time for the more conservative constituent parts of this country to consider
whether this sacred union is really quite so sacred anymore.
[..]
In this respect, Texas can lead the
way. Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already think in
nationalist terms about their state. We need to do everything possible to
encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont
and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in
peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this
gut-wrenching spectacle every four years.”

The Peter Morrison Report, November 7, 2012
Now,
I had only heard about the petitions for secession at church, and could not
believe that it was in fact taking place. When doing research into finding out
the truth about this, I found the petitions on Whitehouse.gov. As time went on,
people got more serious about it. I even saw a map on facebook regarding what
states would be what and where, which was along the lines of how the 2012
election turned out: blue in the west, blue in the northeast, and red
everywhere else. However, in finding out that all 50 states are petitioning
secession, I find myself thinking about Abraham Lincoln. I do not believe that
there’s much talk about his first Inaugural address, but it is most profound
what he said in light of what’s happening now. He said this on March 4, 1861:
"This
country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever
they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their
constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember
or overthrow it. I cannot be ignorant of the fact that many worthy and
patriotic citizens are desirous of having the National Constitution
amended."
Mr. Morrison gave two good reasons for
secession, and that’s Abortion and Socialism. If all 50 states today would truly
secede from the Union in order to remove Abortion and Socialism from American
life, should we not overturn Roe v. Wade and replace it with a Constitutional
Amendment to abolish abortion? Should we not replace the religion of humanistic
socialism in our educational institutions and churches with Providential,
Biblical Christianity? Should we not do these things without secession as to
keep the Union together under God through the Constitution? In the words of
Abraham Lincoln, “You have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the
government, while I shall have the most solemn one to ‘preserve, protect, and
defend’ it.” (First Inaugural Address).
I love this country with its virtues and
vices as well as its favors and follies. I still believe that God has a purpose
for her still, and I will do whatever I can to avoid a second, bloody Civil War
under the contract of our covenant with God: the Constitution. I hope and pray
that there are many others who desire the same thing.
