CincyInDC Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 If secessionists do not get their way, they will hold their collective breath in protest until they either give up, realizing it's a stupid idea or pass out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 1. I believe the state itself has to petition, not the minority of it's citizens. 2. Not much has changed since the civil war with regard to where the money powers lie in this country, if anything the south has gotten poorer with the fall of coton as a cash crop. They wouldn't last very long. 3. The great irony is that all these treasonist Red State assholes bitching about welfare are actually the ones taking the most of it.

Squirrlnutz Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Like all online petitions, it will fall by the wayside having changed nothing. The irrational part of me wants to let those miserable red states do whatever the fuck they want so long as the blue states get to stop giving them any of our money. Let it turn into a theocratic tar pit of fundamentalist ignorance. Maybe we can even put up the border fence they so desperately wanted, except this time we'll fence them in with Mexico. They can swim in their sea of minimal taxation and feast off the teat of the job creators while drowning in a general lack of funding for infrastructure or healthcare or disaster relief and starving to death without minimum wage or child labor laws or union protection.

sois Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Texas would carry the south, like they carry the rest of the nation already. Texas is the Adrian Peterson of states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
