That's because it's a very small state that's been overrun by the counterculture and trust fund babies over the past thirty years.

I did a wikipedia search on the State Motto of Vermont...According to this site the motto is "Freedom and UNITY." Guess they took that one to heart.

Sounds good to me.
Then we can go to war with them.

No, la corte gobernó que Tejas puede dividirse en 5 estados, y al hacer así pues, cada nuevo estado necesitaría adoptar la constitución de los Estados Unidos, y eligen rechazar la constitución y separarse, entonces los cinco indica que ése era Tejas puede formarlo debe poseer la nación. ¡Tejas! ¡Tenga éxito!

Vermont used to be THE most Republican state in America. It's the only state that Franklin Roosevelt never carried, in any of his four elections. What's happened to it is pretty mystifying.

Personally, I think Republicanus_Tyrannus has the best suggestion.... deport the seditious bastards and shoot them if they attempt to get back in. Maybe this jerk who thinks he's Ethan Allen didn't notice, but the entire secession issue was settled back in 1865.

But they are already an independent republic. Shouldn't we simply recognize that fact, and start the process of restoring our Constitution?

That's how I see it. Well said!

Here's an idea-

Vermont secedes from the US, and Quebec secedes from Canada. They form a new nation. Then, the western (conservative) Canadian provinces secede and become the 51st and 52nd states (Alberta and British Columbia)...Saskatchewan follows. The remainder stays as Canada.

I'll take it seriously when the secessionists fire on Fort Ticonderoga.

Perhaps we need a preemptive strike, just to be on the safe side? No sense waiting to get hit first....lets take it to 'em ;)

Think only thing we need to do is blockade some Starbucks and Birkenstock outlets...

No, we need to really hurt 'em. Say a directed laser beam at Ben & Jerry's.

Hmmm…Let me see. We down South made this case over 140 years ago. We believed that it was the right, when the (federal) government did not serve our citizens needs, that it was “our right to alter or abolish it.”
Mr. Lincoln and a bunch of folks up North — including VERMONT — killed hundreds of thousands of our forefathers and burnt down or stole everything they owned to keep us from achieving what the good citizens of Vermont are now increasingly demanding.
Surprisingly, I FULLY SUPPORT Vermont’s right to secede. Yea, I am THRILLED by it. We didn’t want to be in a Union with them for at least 14 decades. If they get out — and other blue states, for that matter — so much the better.
Either way, the day of “the Union” is coming to an end — not because I desire it, but because the partners in this political, shotgun marriage just can’t agree or get along. I’d rather have an amicable divorce than a murder-suicide.
