This is just like all the people who said they would move to Canada if Bush won a second term. Shockingly, none of them actually did so. |
Yes. I don't remember it ever being as high as 15 before though.

Some of these states need to worry more about succeeding than of seceding._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

Here's a petition on the White House's "We the People" site that I could get behind....
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/strip-citizenship-everyone-who-signed-petition-secede-and-exile-them/ZbMjcwPf
Quote: |
Mr. President, please sign an executive order such that each American citizen who signed a petition from any state to secede from the USA shall have their citizenship stripped and be peacefully deported. |
Oh, and the count is up to 27 states now. I can't believe that MN is not one of them. I figured the Bachmann voters would be all over this shit.

IMO, patriotism, like religion, is not inherently bad or good, it just depends on what its being used for and/or who its being used against. |

Not me that says it is. The political compatriots of these idiots are the ones who love to pull out the patriotism card when the opportunity suits them.

Lots of people threatened to, just like these people are threatening to do something that they will never actually do.

Guess it didn't make into my sphere of consciousness at the time. This time around though its either more prominent or more news outlets looking for something to expose. |

Again, I don't remember it reaching this number of states nor collecting this number of signatures. So, how did those compare to the 30 states and Texas and Alabama and I'm sure more by now already with the 25,000+ signatures that we have now?
