Seccession is treason. For some reason during an election cycle certain people on the far right will go to all efforts to show they are the most patriotic people and how they love the constitution and those on the left have no patriotism and despise the constitution. But when these same rightwingers lose an election, they all of a sudden become little Benedict Arnolds and start talk of seccession.
That's kind of an odd example to use, since Benedict Arnold worked against the secessionists of the time and in favor of the status quo.

Benedict Arnold because his name is synonymous with traitorous conduct. Supporting the Revolutionary cause then back stabbing the very people he was fighting for.
Oh, good grief. The whole "petition" thing is just a publicity stunt by the White House, and a way for it to gather email addresses. It has no legal weight whatsoever. Even if some low-level White House drone were to reply, "good for you! Go for it!" it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference.
If you really want to pursue secession, you'll have to invest just a little bit more than simply filling in a web form. Question is, are you really willing to do that?
Then so be it. Yes I am more than willing to do that. Are you?

This kind of stupidity just gets ignored...easier than trying to talk any sense into some folks.

So what about counties within Texas that wish to remain part of the United States? Shouldn't they have the right to do so, or would you force them to remain in Texas against their will?
See where this kind of thing could get a little messy?

If he'd lost the war, George Washington's name would now be synonymous with traitorous conduct.
Hmmm, so many new posters (with accounts created Nov 2012) that sound exactly like the old posters who stopped posting the day that President Obama was re-elected....coinkidink?....things that make you go hmmmm
It will turn out the same way if this goes anywhere. My suggestion is to suck it up.
