Not unless you are a recent immigrant.
If by succession they mean those states commonly referred to as “Jesus Land”, I’m all for it. In fact I’ll volunteer to participate in the political activism to help this come about.
Now that I think about it, I wonder what would happen if a liberal group actually took this approach? Hmmmm…
Wow, your judgement is seriously flawed.
Ah, I see. You’re simply insane. Does Harry Reid really seem to you like a strong leader?
Did I mention Harry Reid?? I must have missed that.
Yes, and you have done a wonderful job of proving my judgment is flawed and I’m insane. I guess the round goes to you!

No, I’ve inhabited reality for all of my life and have no desire to immigrate to your universe. I leave it to you.

News flash: Der Trihs and xtisme have trouble seeing eye-to-eye. Film at eleven.
Shocking…

Yeah, who’d have guessed?
I still think you’re wrong, though, X.
I can accept that…and it wouldn’t be the first time if it’s the case.

Will we find out which one is rubber and which one is glue?
Yes, what was I thinking, when you discussed the parallel (in your mind) situation of Republicans gaining control of Congress to Democrats gaining control of Congress. Naturally the Majority Leader in the Senate is not involved there at all.
So GASP the Civil War was really over State’s Rights after all :eek:
So if we look at the Purple States" Map of America (which is a more accurate reflection of how the voting went in 2008) which states aren’t worth fighting for? Nashville helps to vote in the best President we’ve had since Lincoln and you want to send us out with Tennessee because East Tennessee is so damned red? Give us a break.
Remember, a state can be “red” by a margin of a few votes.
I hate to break it to you, but Nashville didn’t help at all.
Yes, but that wasn’t the case in TN.
My assessment: the only true motivation is defeating, by any measure, Democrats in the next election and then unseating Obama. It does not matter how; it only matters that it be so. Any lie, any filth, any societal collateral damage, any civil unrest, even the shattering of the Union itself is justified: the Right must reassume power at any cost.
That a majority of this country’s citizens recently believed that Saddam Hussein was directly linked to 9/11 has not been forgotten by those who would shape history to their own ends. Allow the lab-crafted bullshit to percolate through the national consciousness—already proven severely learning-disabled and prone to regular bouts of drooling dementia—and I’ve no doubt that in short time, Obama himself will be cited as the primary origin of the economic crisis, and that “fact” that will hang like a summertime fart in the minds of millions of voters as they ready to cast their ballot.
But Obama bowed to a Saudi prince! His communist attitudes will ensure doom and gloom for us all! And everyone that voted for him sucks and wants to see this country fail!
Or at least, that’s the feeling I get from crazed conservatives if the conversation at Easter dinner is anything to go by.
Every side has its wingnuts and loons. Nothing new there.
I think the difference here is the rhetoric being taken up by both the MSM and even members of Congress, governors and the like.
I totally could be . . . if I were prepared.
Not Batman. More like Mike Hammer - driven by base revenge against pure evil, and the knowledge that one must become that evil to meet it, whether that means horsewhipping disloyal females, setting fire to a houseful of fresh-made corpses, or making sure some poor slob has no face left for next-of-kin to identify.
Mike has been compared to the hammer of God, and there’s something deeply resonant in that metaphor. Some primal, Old Testament, feudal-Celtic vow to purifying violence and the healing power of sadism.
All I have to say is that a party that advocates secession has lost all pretenses to being the party of Lincoln.
