I understand the desire to see everyone succeed however dividing what others rightfully make with those who have not earned it is wrong. This is not what the founding fathers meant when they said, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, which among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. What the founding fathers meant was every man should have the ability to freely pursue their life, to be what they want to be. They meant that everyone should have the ability to earn that, which makes them happy.
Therefore, when a state or group of states, or individuals makes it clear that they are not happy with how the Federal Government is running things than it is the duty of the Federal Government to change how it operates not the other way around. It is the right of the individual states to decide whether they are better off without the Federal Government. The case I make today is that every one of us has the right to choose how we will live our lives, that is a part of our unalienable rights. No government should decide how we as individuals are to spend that which we earn, and that which makes us who we are. It was made clear upon the foundation of this nation that each of us has the right to worship as we please, and to live as we please as long as that choice does not negatively affect the lives and welfare of those around us.
Therefore, I say, viva liberation, hurrah for freedom and keep fighting for what is right. I agree that a civil war would not be a good thing, however, if that were what it takes to prevent the perversion of the Federal powers from taking over all of our rights than so be it. I would temper this by saying we must vote in such a way as to relieve the undue and unjust burdens being placed upon our children and us by a perverted and unjust government.
Understand this, if it came to that which is irreversible, I hope that those who decide upon this course of action are able to do so with the idea that we must have freedom which so many American men and women have died to protect and that we do not approach the thought of civil war or revolution against an unjust government is for reasons of personal gain.
In conclusion, please understand that I am a supporter of the general rights and equality of all Americans, and that I shudder to think what would happen if our government forces a bloody decision upon us. Please think about every decision, and vote " vote to preserve the Union, yet do not hesitate to change that which guides this union of great States if it is necessary.
