| Texas is rattling its saber again..... |
The conservative Republican commentator side-eyes Rep. Ron Paul's (R-Texas) reiteration that secession "is very much an American principle" and a legitimate debate issue, now that 100,000+ folks have signed a petition for Texas to secede from the U.S. after President Barack Obama's re-election: "What Ron Paul is talking about is dangerous. Those of us who are
dissatisfied with the election results — and there are millions of us — have
no recourse but to ballots. There must be no recourse from ballots to
bullets, said Jefferson. Said Lincoln."
Mr. Blackwell continues his commentary: "If Ron Paul wants to advocate revolution or civil war, he should say
so openly. If he wants to invoke the right of revolution, he should tell
his followers to count the cost. We suffered 630,000 dead in the Civil
War. Is he willing to lose that many again? Or, with our population
increase, ten times that many?"
