Eventually, everybody will calm down and realize that nobody can "leave the country", with or without their state, unless they are well healed enough to pay the price demanded by whichever destination country they choose. The several states can not seceede from the union. And we're all just gonna have to live and let live.

The country had a good start on that road after the civil rights movement of the 1960's. What happened over the past eight years?

All of this upheaval currently taking place is firmly 0bama's legacy, fueled and fomented by the socialists/communists on the left.

Agreed. That first link is about The League of the South, which has been around for decades (at least the early 90s). A bunch of fringe extremists motivated by wanting to separate themselves from "The North's" "Liberal Agenda".

Communists? Pardon the self-link, but -isms: a refresher should let you know how to label people this and that, and when it's justified to do so.

They're free to secede, but they're not taking any American turf with them. They can secede out in the ocean somewhere.
Along with California! And, CA has a shorter distance to travel to the ocean!

Some white southerners is a big enough group that you can say that about literally anything "some white southerners think they are vampires" that's probably accurate.
