Dumbass.

There has been a micro-nation in Australia since the 70's.. when they got the shits with the state government set farm quotas.

I sort of love the fact that the government hasn't really done anything about it.. it's very Australian. "Well.. we could send in the cops, or we could just go to the pub? What do you think, Bruce?"

that's interesting

So like Versus said, what are your grounds for wanting to secede?

"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.""

"Because we feel like it" is not a cause that makes it necessary a people to separate from their government.

Tell us about your oppression. Everyone else gets to use the word, it's your turn. I want to hear how bad it is for you.

Funny thing being from Texas, we already heard a lot of the bullshit a few years ago courtesy of our governor. He joked about secession but changed his tune really fast once their was a swine flu outbreak.

Those states tried this before. It didn't end well for them.

Part of me actually wants this to happen.

Too bad it's just whiny posturing from butt hurt whiteys who can't stand the idea of a liberal black man in the oval office.

Haha, Kentucky in 2005:

Total Dollars:
Federal Taxes paid to Washington DC: 22003 million
Federal Spending Received: 34653 million

Per Capita:

Federal Spending Received: $8,321

Yeah, if they leave who is going to be picking up the bill for them then?

Two things to note here -

First, before anyone says 'those numbers are eight years old', Google a bit if you like, but here are some more up to date numbers from 2009 and 2010 that are identical plus an article explaining the numbers still hold true -

More importantly along those lines for anyone who would say 'those are old numbers', does anyone really think in the last eight years Mississippi has just taken off financially? Is there some type of technological revolution going on in Alabama that we all just missed? That question is rhetorical, we all know these areas are, and always have been deprived and live off Federal funding. Anyone who argues about the age of the numbers is ignoring the fact most red states do not produce anything and have very small cities that do not produce much of anything.

Second, the people pushing for secession were on the various media channels last night agreeing with those numbers and said that they would have all the people who couldn't afford to live there move to a blue state. I was laughing when I heard this. I mean, if all the people in red states who get government assistance of one kind of another left, there wouldn't be enough people left to sustain the few businesses they do have there. What a laugh sure!

It's all just noise. Ignore them.

This basically sums up those idiots

HA! I just can't wait to see what the response from the White House will be. This is gonna be delicious.

what they don't tell you is like here in kentucky the state is republican, vote for the presidency , but the governor and the government in kentucky is democrats, so that's why they are at the top of the list, is because of the democrat governors , that needs to be kicked out

That article was mildly disgusting.

White people support white politicians? Completely based on merit.

PoC vote for PoC? Exclusively based on race.

Seems legit.

It is disgusting. If it weren't for the fact that this whole country is riddled with republicans and dems in all the same places, I'd be much more willing to agree that states should secede.


I would be MORE than happy to let reactionary white supremacists secede from the union and have their own country as long as it was JUST them and it was JUST THEM on a particular spot of land.

Unbelievable that they would level the charge that minorities voted on racial lines. That wasn't true at all. The liberals and the democrats are very diverse.

Admittedly, though I do have a dislike for Republicans, there were many of them who admitted to being embarrassed for this election. Not because Obama won, but because their party was a complete bonehead.

Jon Stewart as always puts it best...
