I would love nothing more than to stop you and your hippy friends from controlling the purse strings. This debt will be the end of our country as we know it.

We’ve had the Birthers, the Truthers and now the Seceders and there are a lot of them. Almost 400,000 people have signed online petitions to allow their States to peacefully secede from the Union. Their dissatisfaction with this year’s election results is such that they no longer wish to be Americans.

I have some suggestions for those folks. If you don’t like the two Party system with frequent elections decided by those who are governed might I suggest you give China a try. You won’t have those problems there. If it’s a theocracy you wish to live in perhaps you should consider Iran. If a national government regulated health care system is abhorrent to you Somolia should be a paradise for you. No health care regulation there. If you want to rid yourself of problems of illegal immigration and immigrants I might suggest Cuba for you. Problem is, you’ll then be the immigrant.

So, my point is, you have the right as a citizen of these United States to live wherever you please and to renounce your Citizenship should you wish and we citizens of these United States would encourage you to fully exercise those rights. What you do not have the right to do is, as a State, secede from the Union. That question was settled by force of arms many years ago. Best of luck to you.

You make the jump that anyone who isn't happy with the politics and bullshit going on in this country right now should just head off to China, Somolia, or Iran. I have a better idea. Rather than f*cking up our country and driving it into the ground like you seem hellbent on doing, why not just pack your shit and head to France. They already have the corrupt, 2 party system that you love (including your very own socialist party) and socialized healthcare. You would fit right in.

... but it's got a way to go yet on the sig count.

I personally don't want or think any state to/will secede.

Well, you know what they say, don't you?









"If at first you don't secede, try, try again."

Texas as its own nation-state would present pragmatic challenges, but the best thing about it, to me, would be that I would no longer be forced to pay for a foreign policy that I vehemently disagree with. Texas wouldn't be able to (or have need to) occupy 130 foreign countries. We could easily defend ourselves from foreign attack, although considering our current leadership, we would probably still choose to be under attack from Mexico and their hordes of illegals pouring over the border.

And they'll tax the living shit out of him just like he voted for here.
