America must turn to that family-centered, community-based society that is anchored in God and a morality based on His law. Now is the time to gather the nation around unifying principles, not shatter it into millions of individualistic shards.

Some traditional-minded Americans use a horrible metaphor to describe an outcome they desire for the nation. The metaphor is divorce, and the outcome is a separation of a State from the American Union.

Proposing a national divorce is like demanding a figurative abortion for some unwanted social problem. Divorce and abortion are never solutions, literally or metaphorically. They will always end badly. The children (real and figurative) will always suffer.

However, this attitude reflects a spirit of desperation at the present state of affairs. One immediate catalyst for this call is the federal government’s ideological dereliction of duty for failing to protect the border states from an invasion of illegal immigrants.

Other states also complain about desperate situations that call for dramatic action, whether it be socialist legislation, abortion, ecological regulations and classroom indoctrination. People desperately want out of these situations and now clamor for divorce.

The Call to Separation

Liberals inside the federal government and society seem to be doing everything possible to encourage outrage and separation. They definitely stand to benefit.

A national divorce would help the left in the deadlock of the country’s stalled cultural war by taking conservatives out of the national debate. It would let conservatives shatter the national institutions that liberals have been unable to fully control. Vast sections of the nation would be handed over to liberals without a fight in the process of a division.

Thus, as liberals provoke, some desperate conservatives are taking the bait.

Solutions that Always Ends Badly

Activists like the recently divorced Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene say Texas and other states similarly treated should secure a national divorce from America. They say it need not be a nasty affair but an amiable, no-fault divorce settlement, agreeing to part ways and divide assets.

Let the other states do what they will and even destroy themselves. The red states (and later counties or cities) will stay red and determine their separate destinies.

The calls for separation and secession are growing as Americans find it ever more difficult to live together in peace. Indeed, five million people have migrated from one state to another in one of the largest population displacements in American history.
