Now people are wanting their states to secede.

A quick google search will bring up tons of articles and other websites about it. And most of it seems to be coming from the same people that are conservative, Obama/Democrat hating (note: I tolerate other people's beliefs and despise most politicians in general), and members of the so-called Tea-Party. Basically the same ones that say liberals and/or Democrats hate the US. So, apparently they love the US so much they no longer wish to be a part of it. And so far, 700,000 people nation wide have signed these.

What the hell is going on in this country!?

Everyone's just sick of Wisconsin.

If they secede, the US won't have as large of a financial problem anymore, as the states that want to secede take in more tax revenue from the blue states then they give back.

The governors of these states know they are welfare states, sucking on the teet of the federal government, so there is no way they will ever secede.

Exactly. Two thirds of the tax revenue comes from Blue States.

At least the Red States have over 80% of the obesity in the country. They always have that to fall back on.

What does any of that have to do with freedom? It goes also as obvious that red states probably have less regulations, IE less need to take money from the people. It's called smaller government .

Also, blue states did not create all the federal jobs that are in their states. They shouldn't get credit for going spread eagle over every federal dollar that comes their way? They just have their hands out the furthest

Sounds like what you are saying is that blue states have the highest tax rates. Interesting way to twist the perspective into "blue states pay the most".

Good for you blue states. You pay the most into a system that wastes your hard earned money on Guantanamo Bay, or worse uses it to bribe warlords and dictators and torture people in CIA prisons.

I believe most of them can't stand the thought of another 4 years of a black man as president. It's not that they hate democrats, or liberals, they don't like an African American as their commander in chief. They are behaving like the whiny child, a bunch of spoiled brats and sore losers.

...and maybe American's don't like being herded over financial cliffs...

And there it is. Classic. When an administration has nothing, and I mean nothing to redeem itself, play the race card and hope the critics are pussies.

I say let them go. Take all the crackpots who want to secede, regardless of what state they live in, and ship them all to Gitmo. I hear it's sunny and warm there.

Here's a nice article about it: http://www.ydr.com/mike/ci_22004296/mik ... cede-texas

Does two thirds of the tax revenue come from Democrats?

[GreecePwns]

I say let 'em go. Why should anyone force them to be a part of the country?

Besides, the breakup of America has many drastic foreign policy implications which can only be good for world peace.

Then why are all the blue states massively in debt?

And most of the money to red states is mandated by the federal government, not because those citizens actually want the government's handouts.

How shallow are your beliefs that you would care about the color of a person's skin over the content of their character or the policy positions they take?

We currently live in the 21st century, not the 19th century. None of us today are responsible for the actions that took place then, yet the people who continue to blame every disagreement with Obama as being due to race are completely responsible for their own racist views.
