Most of the people that sign these red-state-leaving-Muricuh are not from the states asking to leave the Union. Look at the petition for Georgia. Sure, lots of Georgians signed, but you know what there’s also a lot of? New England signatures. Besides, in states with so many millions of people, it’s going to take more than 25k angsty nimrods to start a whole new country.

Until Corporation and Government ties are outlawed nothing will change. It is because of the individual political and corporate ties that our country is in the state it is in. Our politicians are more worried about helping their corporate ties than actually helping it’s citizens. America needs to abolish the current money system and bring back “GREENBACKS”. A form of money that does not create debt the moment it is printed. No corporation should ever be in control of the money like it is now. Until that is accomplished nothing can change.

I find it sad how few Americans actually know American history. The secession is upheld by the United States Constitution. It is not because of a lack of intelligence that so many Americans are signing up. Yes it is true that not everyone is fully informed of this situation but that can be directly blamed on the news media. They, nor the Federal government, are actually doing their jobs. There has been a media black out on this and many other situations here in America. There are Democrat news stations and Republican news stations but there is not a single non-biased news station. We the people deserve and demand proper education and information. Yes there are extremists who stand up and scream the loudest yet it is the job of the news agencies to move past those people and deliver true news and information.

I live in the south, Yes, I signed the petition to peaceably leave the United States. I work in the oilfield and work hard @ my job. Now I am being told that I have to buy into this Obozo health care or will be taxed. I have to give support to someone who wishes not to work. Taking food and shelter from my family. No. I don’t agree to that. If civil war comes, I breath it in, I welcome it. I am ready for it. Our country is going to garbage, and most of you can’t see it, won’t see it. I’ve see in some of the post that people are still blaming Bush, get over it. Obama has put us deeper in debt than all the president we had put together. Wake up. I don’t want to be a communist country, do you? Why we want to secede? To be heard to be counted. And all of you that want to line us up…. Please try. Quit all of your whinning and go out and get your FREE cell phones, food stamps, and welfare!

What people do not realize, especially in states like Texas that are so large, is that a large portion of the population resides in large cities that are much more liberal than the less populated country surroundings. It exactly explains the petition for Austin seceding from Texas because they and people like myself in Houston do not feel that the few gun weilding radicals outside of the cities are not representative of the general feeling of that state. And for almost all of these secession petitions have signatures that are pretty much overwhelming signatures from people OUTSIDE of that specific state. Lets actually see what the real thoughts of people from that one state are!

You people irritate me… This is a free country and as so they have a right to speak their minds. For all you southern haters you need to watch the history channel. Most the useful inventions came out of the south. Also its not just southern states that are on this ITS 36 states. Last time I checked there are 52 stated that means its the majority of the united stated. I am from the south but lived up north for a while and let me tell you there were less jobs up there than there are down here. So no one can tell me that they dont get government money as well. Its NOT a southern thing it a United Stated thing!!!!!!!

The thing about food stamps, and tax loops are simple. There’s no true way to balance them. There are people that will purposely avoid finding a job just to collect free money. It’s not fair for the working people to have money taken out of their paychecks to pay for people that just do nothing. It needs to stay for the people that are UNABLE to work due to diseases, injuries, etc. Not for being uneducated they can go back to school for that.

If you don’t understand why the people in these states decided to do this you obviously have no ideal of the corruption this administration is either taking part in or allowing o happen. Wake up
Google the Government’s accountability office’s report on the amount of money that our Federal reserve was caught secretly giving out during the Bush and Obama 1st term. It’s absurd!! Thats why we are screwed, because our own gov allows the banks to loot, and the Fed gives them our money which they make us pay back through taxation!!!! Hell this national debts isn’t even our debt@!!!! Iceland revolted against the bankers peacefully and were successful, it’s time our country follows in their footsteps. These states are full of people with the balls to take action.

It’s actually the other way around. Us “Dixie” people can take care of ourselves. We will gladly ship the welfare recipents up NORTH. Those are also the only ones who voted for your beloved leader. And they are mostly black and cause all the crime here. And by the way…we have the most beautiful women here in the South along with the most handsome men. Ugh…your people up NORTH are just plain ugly…and your dirty mouths to go along with it. Funny when you northers come to visit… you STAY.
