Wannabe Secessionists, Go For It, Pretty Please | Common Dreams

Wannabe Secessionists, Go For It, Pretty Please | Common Dreams:

'via Blog this'


Now that the country has doomed itself by re-electing a commie Muslim Kenyan, unhappy residents of at least 20 states have filed petitions for secession in the right-wing, worst-case version of moving to Canada or Costa Rica. Petitions have come into the government's "We the People" website from expected places Texas, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi - and others less so: Oregon and New York? Interestingly, it turns out most red states aremoochers and welfare queens who take more than they give in federal funds. We wish them godspeed, and good luck with their budgets. For a look at who the secessionists are, here'sthe guy who wants Alabama to leave the union. The new country will presumably have topless car washes for all.
Update: Now there's a new petition asking the U.S. to deport everyone else who wants to secede. This is getting ridiculous.
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
