secession - States rights- this is what the Conservative Element was deciding with the Election in 2012. i was surprised to see Michigan on the list.
Oddly enough the UP of Michigan has been wanting to separate from Lower Michigan for many years to make Superiorland the 51st State. Secessionist views are considered Nuts by many others.
But look at the whole picture - the states can secede if they chose because the states do not want the higher unemployment that will come with the full implementation of ObamaCare in 2014. If you think unemployment is bad now, in 2014 it will well above 35%. Insurance providers will be closing their doors and more people will be put onto the government and more people will mean rationing and so forth.
here in the UP, we have more physicians retiring and leaving, the few physicians that we have are already cutting back on patient loads because of electronic charts. and many elderly are being informed to go to Wisconsin for their medical care. I know this firsthand because I take care of my mother whom is elderly and has alzheimers. I moved her to the UP of Michigan, so I could have a life of my own, but I have to take her back to Wisconsin for medical appointments.
I didn’t realize he was still on the air.
Sounds like an easy way for the government to find out who the “trouble makers” are....besides, we don’t need to ask.
Glenn is like this too, PREPARE! PREPARE! PREPARE!
Prepare for what? The Collapse? Well yes, but what do you think comes with the Collapse Glenn!?
This secession talk hasn't gained all that much traction YET, but wait until "The Collapse" does come, when those EBT cards truly don't work.
But won't the government always make sure they work? Actually yes, as long as they are able, but once they cannot through Hyperinflation or any number of contingencies. It will all fall apart
The next Civil War will look less like Bull Run, Gettysburg or Vicksburg, but more like Sarajevo circa 1995.
Think about that Glenn.
“Interwoven as is the love of liberty with every ligament of your hearts, no recommendation of mine is necessary to fortify or confirm the attachment.
The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth; as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and individual happiness; that you should cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it; accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned; and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.
For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed together; the independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts of common dangers, sufferings, and successes.
But these considerations, however powerfully they address themselves to your sensibility, are greatly outweighed by those which apply more immediately to your interest. Here every portion of our country finds the most commanding motives for carefully guarding and preserving the union of the whole.”
— George Washington, Farewell Address
