At least I take heart that the last time some folks in South Carolina tried to secede, it didn't go too well for them.
Want some target practice? :)

Hmm...Anderson is best known for its excellent hospitality for Union prisoners during the War Between the States. Maybe this separatist group could enjoy the same hospitality.
Great. A nutbag disguised as a Christian
I’ve heard about this movement in South Carolina. Yep secession didn’t work out too well the last time.
There’s also something called the Free State Project, I think it’s called, where Libertarians are moving to New Hampshire to try to influence that state to adopt libertarian principles in government, and elect Libertarians to office there.
There’s also a movement in Vermont to secede. Not sure what their beef is.
And the southwestern US is supposed to become the state of Aztlan when enough Mexicans are there. I guess they would want to secede also.
Hehe. It’s all good ‘til they break out the kool-aid.
Frankly If there was a place to go.....to get away from this great nation that is on the downward spiral...I’d go
I don’t blame these people at all.
Its too late to change America from within....the left has inflitrated the media, congress and all of our schools...
My intent at some point is to go off grid....vanish before things fall apart.
Tinfoil?
No a realist who watches carefully.
Clinton had Waco and the next Dem will no doubt kill these people.
Mmm...off grid living. Great idea! I’m in.
Andersonville is in Georgia. Anderson is South Carolina, near Greenville.
Its no different from the Libertarian Free State project. As long as he’s a productive member of society and doesn’t PO the IRS, I’m sure he’ll be a welcome addition to community. Best wishes to him.
Something like this tends to breed suspicion. Kinda like a little place called Islamberg.
Not saying I agree with this guy or his premise, but:
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness"
IMHO I am not sure that we ever would have had a nation if the original 13 colonies knew that they could not back out of the contract.
A separatist movement based in South Carolina... whats wrong with this picture..
Folks down there won’t mind, as long as he accepts that the true religion in the area isn’t Christianity, it’s Clemson football. But they’re a tolerant lot, and won’t generally mind infidels in their midst. Unless they’re Gamecock fans. Then it’s jihad time.

Yeah, you are right. I started to correct myself but you did it for me. In any event, the nutjobs should be isolated.
How is he rebelling against the nation?
So true....they tolerate my wife and I just fine...GO VOLS!
Even I hate Gamecock fans....they win one game against us in like 14 years, they act like they've won a National Championship or even the SEC title. They haven't won a title since...well was Strom Thurmond even born then?
America may become balkanized if more movements like this gain traction.
So you would have Christians in South Carolina, Libertarians in New Hampshire, Howard Deanic types in Vermont, Mexican-Americans in the southwest, the gay community in San Francisco and other large cities, peace loving radicals in enclaves such as Berkeley, all wanting to break free and have their own autonomy.
