And if Pennsylvania could get rid of Philadelphia by allowing Delaware or NJ to annex it, this state would be a whole ‘nother color. We might even be able to convert Pittsburgh with Philly out of the picture. The problems are the overcrowded behives and slum cities like Philly, LA, Chicago, Newark, Detroit, and NYC among others. How in the world could we isolate them? They are the paradox which really doesn’t allow for peaceful secession. These cities exist as centers of absolute corruption and decadence which affect the entire states in which they exist.
Where is Snake Plisskin when you need him?
Well, the lovers of liberty should not consider seceding from the only country in the world that was founded on the principle that liberty is the God-given unalienable right of the people. Those who hate God, hate liberty, etc, are the ones who should leave. If NY and Calif are the problem, if they cannot abide by the constitution, then THEY should secede (or be purged from the union).
Give me Liberty or give me death!!
Sorry to be disagreeable with you, Jim. But this is going to end one of two ways. Half the country is going to be enslaved, or the entire country is going to be enslaved.
How long would it be before they wanted what we had and declared war on us? Not long, I would wager.
You’re worried about fighting a shooting war against liberals? You’re kidding...right? Who are they going to have do the fighting for them?
One potential interim play would be to recruit large numbers of conservatives willing to relocate to purple states and turn them red. Conservatives that also prefer large families.
Let me disagree with you.
The socialists control the POTUS, Senate, and the courts. The culture has been lost to the socialists. If you disagree please tell me what cultural, or political, institution today is conservative. My point is the freedom loving country of old has been replaced with a collectivist godless society.
If we are going to plant our flag we need a secure land to do it from. The idea of secession seems pretty radical right now, but if we began organizing support behind a political party in a state that supports it we can begin the process. Look how the socialists destroyed the culture. They started in the 1960's with the sexual revolution. It took them 50 years, but they accomplished their goal.
Why not fight this war on 2 fronts? Fight to get conservatives in office at the federal level and fight to get a state that pushes for it's freedom.
Secede? NO
Expell the Leftists? YES, Indeed.
JB post: "....places like N.Y. and Calif. where that is exactly what the vast majority is."
Parsing JR's post from the perspective of illegals opposed to the Leftists I believe he was referring to the vast majority of the "Illegal Immigrants" are hardly "GOD Hating", nor are they "capitalism-hating", but they are most certainly ignorant of our constitution, and are lured here by the Leftist's confiscation of our personal wealth such as it is, and the redirection of that wealth in the form of freebies in support of, and to those Illegals that gives them the illusion, on top of everything else that they are special people, perhaps the chosen ones (Did we not learn from such redirection to another ethnicity, and suffer the consequences? The Left never learns from their failures). A dangerous illusion that will not only backfire on the Left, but as we have allowed the Left to continue in their direction for multiple generations will consume us as well.
Another perspective that says the Left's self serving goals have to end NOW.
I would advise you to look to the ghettos, barrios, and/or unions where there is no shortage of thugs, venom, OR weapons.
And fight it with what? They do not want such an evil entity as a functional and capable military. Will they apologize to us until their "certain victory?"
Perhaps their crack FEMA will bore us into defeat by closing due to "bad weather" or their courageous TSA will confuse is into defeat with a clever strategy of going on strike?
The only strength they have is goading us into "playing fair."
The wisdom of David Hackworth should be considered here.

We won’t have to be concerned with forcing secession. Balkanization of the populace using full blown class and culture warfare combined with a complete economic meltdown will bring it to our doorstep. As you stated in so any words, the mob demographics have shifted under our feet against constitutional conservatism. The political party that claims to represent us continues to cave to leftists. We can rant and rave against liberalism all we want without effect. The mob in growing majority want their “free” stuff from the government and will continue to be willing accomplices in election fraud to keep those freebies coming. It’s going to take a massive crisis to turn heads around, and then only if enough conservatives are around and prepared to take control and reset liberty as we once knew it.
This country is headed toward either a Second Civil War or mutual separation (see Czechoslovakia).
Bingo!
If people want to live in the bliss of Europe, they should relocate there.
Those of us who understand why our forefathers fled Europe, should be able to remain here in peace and free.
You're preaching to the choir - as it were - as you post this to Travis McGee. I don't know if Secession is coming. I hope not. And I hope that CWII will not happen either. But if it does; it will begin with EBT cards. I have this thread bookmarked. It is chillingly prophetic.

Yes. The word "was" -- past tense -- is correct. But this country no longer operates on these principles of liberty.
Those who hate God, hate liberty, etc, are the ones who should leave.
Yes. They "should" leave. But the word "should" is an empty, meaningless word. They should leave. They WON'T.
If NY and Calif are the problem, if they cannot abide by the constitution, then THEY should secede (or be purged from the union).
Yes. They are a huge part of the problem and "should" be purged from the union. But they WON'T be.
In my opinion, urging the enemy to abandon their "prinicples" -- especially after they WON the election -- is nothing but empty rhetoric, or as Shakespeare called it: sound and fury, signifying nothing.
We're not going to change them, reform them, or purge them from the country. But we can defy them, through the 10th Amendment, by challenging every federal fiat at the state level. I suggest we try that first.
And if that doesn't work?
Secession.
To gain power and votes the Progressives and there Media Helpers have created this state of groups at each other’s throats. Look what they did to the Tea Party who just wanted smaller government and lower taxes—Turned them into racists yahoos with no brains and closet KKK robes. People talk of decapitation Tea Party members without even listening to what they have to say. What would happen if the Tea Party said such things about the Left? Any group that is victimized and slandered will—in time rise up. Look at the Amish —they now have the Amish Mafia? Mormons were abused—their prophet killed etc... they formed the Danites and Avenging Angels. Chinese in 19th Century turned to the Tongs for protection. After forced changes that came after the Civil War, the south turned to the KKK. The ‘invisible Empire’ I tell you a new force will be born out of the will of the people that will prove more violent than the Weathermen and their bombs. The Chickens will truly come home to roost. As for Secession—its too soon—but, if Obama and his “winning team” continue to force their will upon the people—it will explode and—like before— it will happen in the South. It will spell the end of American World Prominence. The USA will be off the world stage for a decade if not longer and may break into three or four nation states. A Russian guy predicted this a decade ago—I laughed then—but now I think the fellow might have been on to something.
I for one am a proud American, but the punk POTUS and his minions are out to redistribute the gain of all who have worked hard their lives. Now with grumblings of IRA / 401K confiscation, I for one support a free and clear Texas from the union. A conservative government for conservative people (Texas) seems to be a better alternative to where we are heading.
Disagree all you wish, but I’m not seceding. If the liberals cannot or will not abide by our constitution, then it is they who should be doing the leaving. I’m standing my ground for God and country.
Actually this started during the Progressive Era, especially the 16th and 17th Amendments. The Liberals/Progressives/Socialists/Communists took over a century to give us the country we now inhabit. We can't afford to take that long to undo the damage.
