MTG…Patriot or Traitor?

And if we get a divorce, who gets the house?

If there is a national divorce, we shouldn't have to pay support.

If there is a national divorce, we shouldn't have to pay support.

Of the so-called red states and blue states, guess which ones are currently paying support.

The practice of saying kooky things in order to get noticed knows no party.

Shrink federal gvt.? Sure, other than that... Perhaps she needs to talk to a wider circle of people.

More like a troll. Although, I don't think she's smart enough to be a troll.


MTG is a blonde version of AOC.

They're on different sides, but same level of stupidity and senseless rhetoric.

And if we get a divorce, who gets the house?

What’s worse saying things that turn heads …. Or going with the flow like the McConnells and such?? Seems “compromise” hasn’t been much compromising more like our side caving to radical left demands.

First I was like "Yay, two Christmases!", then I was like "Ohh, two tax days".

I honestly wish secession/breaking up of the Union wasn't viewed as such a kooky, evil bogeyman.

Why does it seem to ridiculous to say, "Look, the nation is divided into two extremely polarized camps that have radically different viewpoints on how our society should be structured, what our social values should be, and what the role of the state is. Rather than try to force everyone into conformity, why don't we just realize that being a Union isn't in our best mutual interest anymore, and go our separate ways amicably?" I know there's plenty of practical objections to that idea, but why is it automatically shut down as hateful and evil?

Wasn't this already tried one time?

I guess that really is the problem isn't it. The only other time in the past it was tried, it was done all the wrong ways and for all the wrong reasons, so now everybody assumes that anyone who suggests it is a kook.

But if you think about it, that's as irrational as saying that anyone who wants to ask a bank for a loan is hateful and evil, because one time you saw someone try to rob a bank with a gun.

Patriot. The federal government has violated its contract with the American people for too long. We have a road map for this exact thing

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

It’s becoming clear to me we are approaching a time where the philosophical lines are so deeply divided we will not be able to share a country with each other.

Used to be we pretty much agreed the country was worth fighting for and differed on the best approach to achieve that “more perfect union”. That’s no longer the case. Some want to destroy every institution and trash the foundations and build a new version that’s in every way at odds with our founding. We have no common ground with those people.

That idea has never turned out well

Balkanization is an extremely broad term. Are you sure it's never worked out well? Heck, when we broke away from Britain, wasn't that technically Balkanization?

It is LONG past due!

What would Jefferson think.
Well, let's check.

Jefferson Was Right - LewRockwell

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” –Letter from Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, Nov 13, 1787 Thomas Jefferson, the author of America’s July 4, 1776 Declaration of Secession from the British...

So let's not just brush aside "some practical difficulties". Look at that map. How is that supposed to work?

 

[HoughMade]

...The only other time in the past it was tried, it was done all the wrong ways and for all the wrong reasons...

Despite the crystal clear historical record, we can't get a great many of the people who think it's a good idea today to acknowledge what the real reasons were and that they were wrong. I'm not sure how a second stab at breaking up could work if many on the side in favor can't get that straight.

I'm not in favor of giving up ground. I want our country back. I want to restore the constituon and have a limited government that realizes THE PEOPLE are the masters. Restore power back to the states and hold states accountable that violate theor agreements. Im tired of the daily tyranny from 3 branches of government.
it's too fat and bankrupt.
