YOU ARE STILL NOT LISTENING... NO ONE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SECESSION. You have made an incorrect assumption that someone has called for secession. What this is about is insubordination, not secession.You're still not listening. They were talking about rebelling against Obama's Executive orders that the people ignore federal laws written to protect the people. Ron called ignoring such orders, that are nothing more than Dictates from a self proclaimed Emperor, defacto session... aka. ignoring that which is clearly unconstitutional. The president should not be allowed to overrule congress.I see. So basically you are saying we have no choice but to accept federal tyranny, because liberty is the liberty to be tyrants.I absolutely believe in liberty. What I don't believe is that we will have more liberty if the southern states secede. I also know we would have far more financial troubles afterwards.
And if you want to see corruption and incompetence, look at some of the state gov'ts in the south.
No, that is not what I said at all. I am all for liberty and using the ballot box to make sure we preserve our liberties.
Secession will not grant more liberties.
Then take it to the SCOTUS and get it overturned. Pulling out of the United States is a ridiculous option to even pretend is legitimate.
Considering that the name of the OP concerns secession, and I specifically asked which states would be seceding, I think i have listened quite well. To claim that the states will all ignore the federal gov't and no longer recognize its power, is to claim that 50 different states would cooperate in any functional fashion. No, that wouldn't work at all.
