Americans were stunned last week, coming to the startling reality that citizens from all 50 states, hundreds of thousands of signatories, thus far, have petitioned their state to secede from the union, with at least seven states, as of Sunday, having the 25,000 signatures necessary to, supposedly, officially force a White House response.
It's not something many Americans want to think about, or be forced to come to terms with, however. To think the United States of America would ever be in a position of having to deal with multiple states having enough citizens to attempt seceding from the union is about as unthinkable a reality as imagining Hitler coming back to life and continuing on with his plans for a New World Order.

You have the right to keep quiet and not testify against yourself but to do so requires a $1 billion tax payment first. Supreme Court said so.
You’re correct, but the freedom we enjoy grows less and less with the almighty empowered government in charge. We the people are no longer in charge of the government. We are merely a shadow of ourselves. Sheep to the slaughter if you will. Unless, WE take charge.
There was an excellent article the civil war issue that I saw linked to the Fox News website today. It’s by a black conservative writer named Erik Rush. He makes a very compelling case in support of the proposition that Obama stole the election and that the scope of electoral fraud may one day lead to civil war.
