This guy is more than welcome to let his religion and conscience guide his participation in our democracy, but I tend not to look favorably upon people who want to rebel against our great nation. Don't like America? Fine, leave. See how you like things in Europe or Africa.

At least I take heart that the last time some folks in South Carolina tried to secede, it didn't go too well for them.

Hmm...Anderson is best known for its excellent hospitality for Union prisoners during the War Between the States. Maybe this separatist group could enjoy the same hospitality.

Great. A nutbag disguised as a Christian

I’ve heard about this movement in South Carolina. Yep secession didn’t work out too well the last time.

There’s also something called the Free State Project, I think it’s called, where Libertarians are moving to New Hampshire to try to influence that state to adopt libertarian principles in government, and elect Libertarians to office there.

There’s also a movement in Vermont to secede. Not sure what their beef is.

And the southwestern US is supposed to become the state of Aztlan when enough Mexicans are there. I guess they would want to secede also.

Frankly If there was a place to go.....to get away from this great nation that is on the downward spiral...I’d go

I don’t blame these people at all.

Its too late to change America from within....the left has inflitrated the media, congress and all of our schools...

My intent at some point is to go off grid....vanish before things fall apart.

Tinfoil?

No a realist who watches carefully.

Clinton had Waco and the next Dem will no doubt kill these people.

Something like this tends to breed suspicion. Kinda like a little place called Islamberg.

Not saying I agree with this guy or his premise, but:

"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness"

IMHO I am not sure that we ever would have had a nation if the original 13 colonies knew that they could not back out of the contract.

Folks down there won’t mind, as long as he accepts that the true religion in the area isn’t Christianity, it’s Clemson football. But they’re a tolerant lot, and won’t generally mind infidels in their midst. Unless they’re Gamecock fans. Then it’s jihad time.

I believe that Thomas Jefferson would disagree with you:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

And I disagree with you also. The Second Amendment was not put in the Constitution to protect duck hunting.

You mean kind of like British citizens in 13 British colonies “rebeled against their nation”? Perhaps your allegience is to the Union Jack.

In 1776, we would have called you a Tory.

Perhaps you should re-reads the first paragraph of a document called the “Declaration of Independence”. Apparently there is something about the God-given right to liberty that you don’t understand.

Sometimes, rebellion is all you have left. It should always be the last resort, but we may be coming to that...we're certainly close to the conditions David Hume (the enlightenment era philosopher that influenced our Founders) described as being justifiable for a citizenry to rebel.

Corey Burnell was a regional branch director for the separatist "League of the South" when he lived in Texas. He definitely has an agenda of his own.

And it looks like he carries on an old tradition of modifying his message depending on where he is: in Vermont, he likened Christian Exodus to the libertarian Free State Project in neighboring New Hampshire, but in South Carolina he plays up Confederate themes.
