The cartoons about secessionists are really painful. I’ve made some longer posts about them, but I think now I’ll just say.Less talk of secession, More talk of Succeeding.God Bless America.C.
The last attempt at forming a new Republic of Texas was ended by one Texas Ranger and a half dozen sheriff’s deputies in thirty minutes and no casualties on either side. It would have been ignored, but they started an armed annexation of adjoining farms and the Americans thought something should be done. It was..If they should actually succeed, Texas will be a military dictatorship from the git go, and try to invade Mexico. I wonder which side the US will use its drones to help.
Why secession ain’t gonna happen: the electoral college is a massive oversimplification, and the whole “Red state” and “Blue state” thing just ain’t so.
Gee, the first black president is re-elected and some people want to secede. Can you say, ‘Racist’.? And please, don’t pretend it’s ‘states rights’ or some other cock and bull nonsense. It’s racism. pure and simple.
I read that the total number of signatures on all of the petitions combined amounts to 0.75% of the US population. In their warped minds, that is probably a mandate.
Those are probably taxpayers talking. Can’t let them get away. There are lots of Free Rider People to support. BTW. The Rich can move their investment income so that less than 10% will be taxed. Watch the IRS collections drop dramatically next year.
Between the JBS and TEA party hard-liners, we’ve got the lowest I.Q.s in the nation banding together. Fill the bag with rocks, and toss ’em in the pond.
Yeah, you are right. About both mdavis and the condition the shrubster & cheney left America in. 8 years of republican damage is not easy to fix in 4 years, especially with the lack of cooperation from the r/w and tea party.
And exactly just what is the actual percentage of the population of those 30 states that would even sign such a petition? How about less than 0.001%
By the way, you do know that singing such a petition constitutes an act of pure treason against the US, which was punished in the Civil War by an almost complete destruction of those committing such a treason.
Or don’t you even bother to read law and US History?
No surprise, this bluster mustered by the losing party. What Americans should recognize is that ALL of us, red, blue, white, black, are losing our democracy. The vast amount of money deployed by the corporate class was/is obscene and unfortunately will likely ply an even more determinate force in what is left of our deeply flawed electoral process.

They’ll secede then apply for foreign aid…

Canada doesn’t want those guys either. They’ll have to send themselves to China with all the jobs they sent there.

Wake up and realize this is not the America it once was. Bush made bad decisions that hurt the country, but Obama is flat out trying to destroy us.

It’s only tea party members in a pet because they’ve become irrelevant to everyone except other tea party members.

It’s 50 states, but only 25,000 per state (if that). It’s TEA – very weak TEA.

I saw the movie back in the 60s. I think I read the book a few years ago too.

Is that everyone in 30 states?
I’m finding that hard to believe.

That could still be too modern for them.

You could change the locks, but what if we lock you out of our good economies? What states have good economies again?
