I think that if any state decided to step up and put secession on the table, there would be a whole lot of Americans willing to go and defend that state. I know that this is somewhat off-topic, but not really. It just takes one spark. The rest would take care of itself.

If Obama truly wants to reduce America's power in the world, secession ought to be his cup of tea. Nothing would reduce American power like disintegrating America into 50 separate states.

But I think he wants to reduce America's power while simultaneously increasing his own, something that secession wouldn't help.
