Yep...seems about right...either racist,traitor,rebel,seditious etc etc...they never realize if our founding fathers had not been "traitors,rebels and seditious" we would still be living under the crown.

I'm a blue-stater who wishes the secession movement well.

The first American secessionists to speak of (after the Revolution) were "blue staters"--members of the Hartford Convention in 1814.

I love the Fourth of July -- it's when we celebrate the birthday of the UNITED States of America.

I find it hysterically funny when people criticize secession efforts, and the concept that currencies can fail, and empires can fall. If you have learned anything from history, it should be that countries fall, currencies become worthless, and borders change ALL the time. Just because we live in a relatively prosperous time doesn't mean that we are not going to see one or more of those things happen here.

Its like..."Secession!? Ha! History cant happen to US! We are immune because we are America! You must be an idiot!"

Ironic, since we are now living under worse than The Crown. Pretty much all in vain, eh?

Doesn't surprise me the intellectual minds like you think that is why this is happening...I am assuming you have no idea Secession movements have been around for a very long time...Vermont,Alaska,just to name 2 states I am familiar with all happened before Obama was president...has nothing to do with the idiot in chief...he just happens to be the president when it happened...

In vain no...we had a great nation for almost 100 years but its way past time for the country to separate...
