At least you realize we are still a war monger nation and capitalist pigs. That change hasn't happened and won't happen under Obamas watch. But all of a sudden it's OK to be militant, covert pigs?? Is that what you're getting at?

What happened to all that was wrong with this country?

As tongue and cheek as this post may (or not) be... You do realize this is EXACTLY the threat to a seceding state? They don't have to even say it.

Calm down! Don't get your panties in a bunch, it was a joke

Keep fooling yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself for being a traitor to the southern culture and way of life...its more fitting of a yankee.

Yep. Still fighting the civil war. I grew up in Alabama and it's true!

Please, I didn't fight in the Civil War and the only "southern culture" you are talking about as your way of life is the racist kind, I want no part of that. I am proud of my Southern roots, but that doesn't mean I am proud of people like you who tarnish the southern culture. People like you I would love to secede from the country cause we would be better off building a fence around you and never having to worry about your kind any more.

Do not presume to speak for all Southerners. This is my country too, and I would never be part of a secession movement. 50 independent countries would make it too easy for our nation to be taken over by some outside force. Also, look what has happened to the former Soviet Union. It hasn't been very successful since it broke up.

Also, bringing up slavery like it was some peaceful, familial way of life is ignorant. I would not want someone buying me, breeding me, keeping me in a small cabin in their backyard, and telling me every move to make. It would not matter if they happened to be kind enough to not beat me and LET me raise their children. Slavery was reprehensible, and it does not matter who started it. The lifestyle it supported was corrupt.

The states don't want out; you do. Don't tell me about the people who have signed an internet petition either. What about all of us who haven't signed any such thing and would not support it? We outnumber you in every state involved.

Interestingly I went to Stormfront last week to check out the response and saw similar sentiment. I guess we'll see what course this takes and if it is expressed politically in congressional districts, which, to the extent that there is any concerted expression of it at all, is the healthiest way for it to be promoted I suppose.

I don't see any way for such radicalism to outright gain the presidency or even a significant number of senators, so there may be some frustration in the years to come. Maybe we'll see a Republican split and formation of something like the British or French National Front. If they pursue that strategy, though, they had better first campaign for British or French style electoral system, as they'll guarantee to split national and state votes and keep even sympathetic Republicans out of office.

Although, "America for the Americans" for obvious reasons doesn't quite have the same meaning as "England for the English" or "France for the French", so they'd have to develop some sort of more polarizing tag like, "America for the Whites", which, though I'm not a Front sympathizer, have to say is not nearly as catchy or potentially inspiring as repeating the country name to whip up nationalism.

I doubt that. 90% of Southerners cling to the idea of a risen south and secession. I wish them luck and hope it happens.

I don't see any state leaving the union anytime in the near future, but I can see where the consideration for it is rooted. Our federal government has grown wildly out of proportion and does need to be contained.... It could be done without a single state leaving, but probably won't in my lifetime, Nor will any state leave the union in my lifetime..
