WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF I SAID YOUR CONGRESSMAN IS A TRAITOR ?
There’s been some recent controversy as to whether it’s okay to talk about Texas’ right to secede from the U.S. or not.
Only radical nutjobs would consider such a wild idea as that, right ??
There’s some real whackos out there.
Guys that say things like this:
“Schemes to subvert the liberties of a great community REQUIRE TIME to mature them for execution. An army, so large as seriously to menace those liberties, could only be formed by progressive augmentations; which would suppose, not merely a temporary combination between the legislature and executive, but a continued conspiracy for a series of time. Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all? Is it probable that it would be persevered in, and transmitted along through all the successive variations in a representative body, which biennial elections would naturally produce in both houses? Is it presumable, that every man, the instant he took his seat in the national Senate or House of Representatives, would commence a traitor to his constituents and to his country? Can it be supposed that there would not be found one man, discerning enough to detect so atrocious a conspiracy, or bold or honest enough to apprise his constituents of their danger? If such presumptions can fairly be made, there ought at once to be an end of all delegated authority. The people should resolve to recall all the powers they have heretofore parted with out of their own hands, and to divide themselves into as many States as there are counties, in order that they may be able to manage their own concerns in person.“
Alexander Hamilton, to the people of New York
I’ll bet this guy’s at the TOP of somebody’s list !
