It constantly amazes me how frequently secession is in the news these days compared to five or six years ago. The topic is gaining momentum. There are also the enemies of secession and liberty. Those nay-sayers who claim that secession is ‘treason’. In the name of American ideals, these self-proclaimed lovers of liberty forget that the Colonies seceded from Britain, West Florida seceded from Spain, and Texas seceded from Mexico. It is clear that they have not studied history. They were probably raised in public schools, where the modern indoctrination stations claim that land was stolen from Mexico, and other bald-faced lies designed to confuse.

If secession is treason, they have problems. Secession has been a major part of the formation of the States united. We need to remind that the secession is probably one of the most American things they can do.

Heaven forbid it they considered the other “American” activities of smuggling to avoid taxes, refusing to obey unlawful taxes, tar and feathering tax collectors, gun running, growing your own food and educating your own children. These were acts that the colonists who defined the American ideal of the United States did. Think what the nation would be like if Americans engaged in the acts of their fore-fathers.

In those days, such acts were considered American and patriotic. Being loyal to the crown, passively following the government edicts of paying taxes on every transaction involving paper, allowing the government to dictate what food you eat and beverage you drink were considered treasonous.

Think about how far we have come and how the politicians in the Imperial City have turned things around. Now there are more regulations on raw milk and raw food than you can shake a stick at. They want to tax not just every form of paperwork, but every financial transaction. They want to dictate your weight, what you eat, how you live, how much energy you use. What is sad is that there are some who define the support of that swill as being ‘patriotic’ or being good Americans. Being a good American in the classic sense would be just the opposite.

The definition of treason has changed, so have the acts considered “un-American”. No longer is something un-American if it goes against the principles of our founding fathers, it is un-American if it is not ‘politically correct’.

The culture has changed. Do not let the labels of treason or un-American fool you. Study history for yourself, rather than believe the media and history channel. You need to know what really happened rather than the homogenized version being promoted in mainstream culture.

Liberty for Texas and the South!
