Americans want tyranny. Americans vote in big ways and small ways for tyranny. No excusing seat belt laws. No excusing prohibition. No excusing intrusive city ordinances or heavy handed neighborhood associations. Ethanol subsidies, sugar tarrifs, Union laws, the list goes on and on.
Americans want weak States and a powerful Federal Government. Americans want a King.
I agree... let us who do not want that kind of government segregate ourselves before it is too late! Even if we only get Texas! ... and maybe Alaska! ...etc.
America wants a king? Well, they sure got what they wanted.
As for secession, obama would not allow it. Talk about troops on the border. There would be troops on state borders readying for an attack. And “we the people” do not have the firepower to fight back. I used to think the army wouldn’t fire on it’s own people. Soldiers know they got “3 hots and a cot”. There are enough of them who want to keep that in this economy.
“They” have destroyed this country by destroying the economy and making half the people dependent upon the state. It’s now 50-50 and their 50 has the firepower.
Oh, and the army has fired on civilians. The Civil War.
I'm sad to admit that this is mostly correct. We just like it dressed up in pretty names like "protection acts" and "environmental safety."
It becomes more and more just a matter of managing the tyranny to a somewhat tolerable level. Today has made that infinitely more difficult.
