To suggest a secession from America is an affront to the thousands of American military service members who died to protect and defend America.

And trying to use the blood of those who Honorably served to advance such a skewed viewpoint that the country as a whole is MORE important than the individual States who created it is an affront to the colonists, the Militiamen, the Founders and all those who bled, sweated, toiled and died to CREATE America!

Secession is an acknowledged and Constitutional RIGHT, you dipstick.....

And since the seceding states, by establishing a new constitution and form of federal government among themselves, without the consent of the rest, have shown that they consider the right to do so whenever the occasion may, in their opinion require it, as unquestionable, we may infer that that right has not been diminished by any new compact which they may since have entered into, since none could be more solemn or explicit than the first, nor more binding upon the contracting parties. Their obligation, therefore, to preserve the present constitution, is not greater than their former obligations were, to adhere to the articles of confederation; each state possessing the same right of withdrawing itself from the confederacy without the consent of the rest, as any number of them do, or ever did, possess.
Of the Several Forms of Government, St. George Tucker, View of the Constitution of the United States, Section XIII

Why are you tying yourself up in knots over a statement that is perfectly correct?

umm, personal attack aside,

when was the last time you looked at the AMERICAN flag?

Ahem!

You go right on ahead and secede from America then.

I’ll make sure you don’t get let back in.
