I tend not to look favorably upon people who want to rebel against our great nation

How is he rebelling against the nation?

[Dilbert San Diego]

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.

How is he rebelling against the nation?

From the article: "a small group that ultimately wants to secede from the United States and form a Christian republic..."

If he want's to secede by getting on a boat and going somewhere else, fine, but if he tries to disrupt the territorial integrity of the United States, that's treason. And we know what the penalty for that is.
