First state(s) to leave the Union will immediately become the wealthiest nation(s) in North America and the world.
The real threat of states leaving is the only thing that would peacefully scare the fat leftist and centrist in Washington into correcting their poor behavior.
It really should terrify them that producing states will pull out and leave them stuck in their leftist utopias trying to make it on their own.
I say let those states crumble. Most are liberal/marxists freedom hating havens anyway.
Just don’t bring that bullshit to Texas. We’re keepin our guns and we’re keepin our freedom!
F U B O!
Might be worth considering:

“Giordano Bruno identified a trend that has been developing informally for many years: A conscious retrenchment into safe haven states. I strongly recommend this amalgamation, and that it be formalized. I suggest calling it The American Redoubt. I further recommend Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington for the réduit. Some might call it a conglomeration, but I like to call it an amalgamation, since that evokes silver. And it will be a Biblically-sound and Constitutionally-sound silver local currency that will give it unity.
On April 15, 2011, the first movie in the planned Atlas Shrugged trilogy was released. I predicted that this film would both re-energize the Tea Party movement in the U.S. and also spark serious discussion of establishing a real-life Galt’s Gulch. (Or Gulches, plural.) I anticipate that this nascent movement, and the gulch itself will be a lot bigger than most other pundits anticipate. It could very well be a multi-state amalgamation like The American Redoubt, that I’ve advocated.
Why Not Some Adjoining States?
I’m sure that I’ll get e-mail from folks, suggesting expanding the Redoubt concept to include Utah, the Dakotas, and Colorado. Let me preemptively state the following: Utah is a conservative state, but its desert climate makes it unsuitable to feed its current population, much less one swelled by in-migration. North and South Dakota have some promise, but I have my doubts about how defendable they would be if ever came down to fight. Plains and steppes are tanker country. It is no coincidence that the armies of the world usually choose plains for their maneuver areas, for large scale war games. Some might argue that I shouldn’t have included eastern Oregon and eastern Washington. The population densities are suitably low, and the populace is overwhelmingly conservative, but the folks there are still at mercy of the more populous regions west of the Cascades, that dictate their state politics. But who is to say that their eastern counties won’t someday separate to form new states, like West Virginia? This same factor is even more pronounced in rural Colorado. Just a few large cities call the political shots, and they have been assimilated by ex-Californians. For this reason I reluctantly took Colorado off the list.”
Between day after day of Obama’s evil statist crusade, fully supported by his corrupt media handmaidens, and the bald-facedly ineffective “opposition” of the GOP, which alternates between cowering and capitulating on every issue, all I can say is...
short of a maybe a total “going Galt” movement or a viable third-party rising up, secession is looking like one of the only options left. Looking at what a socialist, morally degenerate sewer America has become, I feel I’m already starting to regard myself less of an “American” and more of a “Texan.”
The more I think about it, toss his buddy coulter three or four as well, she could use the protein.
Unless they put up high security walls, it won’t matter. Libs will infiltrate, and eventually the ruin will happen.
Just ask states like Idaho, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico.
The states won’t build walls now to keep illegals out. What makes anyone think they will, should they secede? What about Aunt Harriet and Uncle Fred and cousins and siblings and grandparents who reside in the ‘blue’ states? Do they get to visit?

It is just bluster. It won’t happen — primarily because the FED needs the tax money and won’t let states that are prosperous to secede.
The problem is with the politicians. Those seceding states will have new politicians and will eventually either rejoin the union or join with the other states under a new union — and things will eventually become similar to what it is now.

Hannity is in New York.
NY isn't leaving the states over higher taxes, they love taxes. The easily elected O twice.
Ask Cuomo.
Jeeze Hannity is dumb!
States leaving the Union won’t be so obvious. It will start with States that won’t enforce some Federal laws and slowly progress further. Only if and when the Supreme Court continues to ignore the Constitution will any major escalation happen. It again depends upon the Supreme Court finally getting its act together and upholding the plainly written Constitution (which is much in doubt these days)...
Your Linky is stinky:

If the thirty tea party states would get themselves together and one by one nullifying anything that comes down the pike from the high 537 in DC, and kick the EPA out of the state by suing the krap out of them like Texas did we might stop some of this nonsense. If we don’t start rattling their cage and telling them NO, nothing is going to ‘change.’ How many states of that 30 have told them they are not going to implement Owebamacare. That we are going to keep our health care dollars in Texas and manage it ourselves? Then we should just refuse to collect their ‘penalty’ tax for them from our payrolls. Isn’t that how you deal with an addict?
I was rather surprised at the Petition for Secession filed by Texans...100,000 is not a whopping number seeing that we have 25 million population, but ...blam, 100,000 signatures in like 72 hours, no holds barred plus the many who feel the same way that could be convinced by their families. Even my older siblings who are 10-13 years older are now signed up on Facebook lol, gnarling about politics. And we each have from 500-700 friends that feel the same way, both in and out of state.
KEYWORDS: secede; secession; sucede
I suppose two out of three ain't bad for Freeper spelling these days.

Well if Texas leaves I sure hope they allow immigration from the rest of the states. I may just move back
It may take a trial separation before we can resolve the usual differences, such as our money, raising our kids and all those other things we fight about, before we come back together and renew our vows.
Otherwise, the rule is: If you love someone, let them go...
Hannity is an Ass hat
