I want to break up and I have since Obama was selected. I seriously think we should become two separate countries.

Only two? More likely that it will break up into more than that, with different spheres of influence from other countries. This current government cannot stand as is, fiscal problems doom it, many of us agree on that. However, even the libs are divided amongst themselves, and won't be able to keep their portion together if conservatives break away. There will be multiple country/states formed.

secession?

What for? We have a perfectly good contitution and the remains of a great nation. All we need is a good enema to flush out some of the scum that is gumming up the works.

Seceed? Nope, Expell the Traitors.

“So far Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma and Ohio have all attracted more than 25,000 names apiece “

That’s 11 more states with 25,000 petitioners than there were 4 years ago. What are the feds going to bribe us with to convince us to stay?

I never call Obama president. I call him a lot of things but “president” ain’t one of them!

From the BBC (circa 1774): "Unlike almost all of their Western counterparts, however, Americans appear remarkably happy to stay together (with the King) despite their differences."

nope - we do.

If texas breaks off, the number of people moving to Texas will skyrocket.

The real estate market there will fully recover. Construction will boom. Unemployment will drop like a rock.

Freeloaders will self select themselves out.

We won’t do it, but we will lose the constitution if we stay one Nation. We will be a mean, dead, drab and deadly Soviet system of abuse and oppression. Americans will be slaves to the party and “business” elitists like the Chi-coms.

There will be no more America if we stay together.
