We did not vote to expand the US borders.
We voted to strengthen them.

A healthy, informed public is hard to manipulate. That's why there's a TV in every home, a liquor store on every corner, & a dumbed-down doctor with a loaded syringe in every hospital, coast to coast.
Tis true. Music today isn't anyone playing instruments. It's mixing sounds and robotic niggers using talkboxes and the women using autotune. Country music isn't country anymore. It all started going downhill after grunge died. I switched to listening to EDM or classical or downtempo because todays vocals suck.
Name one band or artist from 2000 on, I probably don't like them.

The Voluntary Union
If the United States is a voluntary union of states, how can the Confederate States of America be traitors if they voluntarily chose to leave the voluntary union? There is no perpetual union clause after a state joins voluntarily. In fact, the states that invaded the seceding states are by definition anti-democratic aggressors that chose murder to impose their will.
Many will attempt to cite Texas v White as the legal basis upon which secession is forbidden. They would be wrong. Texas v White never explores the legality of secession. Justice Chase ignores the question of the legality of secession by simply stating the matter had been adjudicated on the battlefield. Therefore, we still do not have a legal argument against secession.
If Californians voted to secede today because Trump's policies were inconsistent with their values and they found Trump intolerable, would that give the rest of the United States the right to invade California, kill its men, rape its women, enslave their children, burn their homes down, and take any remaining food to compel starvation? If the answer is no, why was it OK in 1861? The South chose to peacefully depart the union by means of a vote and that choice was honored by the preceding Buchanan Administration before the new Lincoln Administration chose to rearm and provision Fort Sumter.
Secession is a right of a free people who believe that they should not remain in a union with states that do not share their values. We, the American colonies, chose to secede from the British Empire. We call that generation of Americans "patriots." Most recently, the UK chose to secede from the European Union. Most conservatives applauded that decision. The South's decision to leave the union was by definition a human right that the union chose to break by means of war.
