Thanks to WRSA... For Liberty: Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star Resist... westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/11/19/secession-on-dunces-cowards-and-courage/But I have even more reason today to admire those poor “idiots” who signed secession petitions. You see, I wondered if the whole thing might simply serve as a rallying point for those who needed it, and I was proven right last night at the dinner table. My wife brought up the subject, and after a brief discussion, she asked the youngest son, the Boy Scout, the patriot who, even at 14 bleeds red, white and blue, a grave question. In a slightly worried tone, she asked him if he would go to Texas, hypothetically, to join them in a secessionist fight if it came to actuality. He looked up thoughtfully, and with conviction said: “Yes, I would.” And then he explained why. No one was more surprised than me. Or more proud. So, I ask you, you sages who are engaged in shooting down this silly talk, don’t we already have enough armchair quarterbacks? If our gravest error in the last five decades, as conservatives, Americans and patriots, was to listen overmuch to counsels of inaction as our country was overrun by actual communists, should we not now be extremely reticent to counsel even more inaction? How has that peaceful deference and restraint served us? I’ll tell you how: exactly as Tecumseh warned us it would not. “That people will continue longest in the enjoyment of peace who timely prepare to vindicate themselves and manifest a determination to protect themselves whenever they are wronged.” 4gfc.wordpress.com/2012/11/15/on-dunces-cowards-and-courage/

Always ticks me off when I go to one of those links and get the message that some might find it offensive...
