On his radio program yesterday, Rush Limbaugh indicated his belief that our country may be trending towards secession by some states.
From the story at Mediaite:
Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday that the U.S. may be “trending toward secession.”
As Limbaugh talked about liberal cities like New York and San Francisco, he took up a question of whether “we can win the culture.”
“I actually think — and I’ve referenced this, I’ve alluded to this a couple of times because I’ve seen others allude to this — I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” he said.
“I see more and more people asking what in the world do we have in common with the people who live in, say, New York?” Limbaugh asked.
In the segment, first flagged by Media Matters, he said, “A lot of bloggers have written extensively about how distant and separated and how much more separated our culture is becoming politically and that it can’t go on this way. There cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs. We can’t be in this dire a conflict without something giving somewhere along the way.”

Rush is generally right, and he may well be right here. This all ties in with my piece from the past weekend titled “How Does America Recover From This? It Doesn’t.”
Past generations of Americans had plenty in common, the most obvious among those things being that we were all Americans and all but a tiny few felt an undying loyalty to this country. That love of country – taught in our schools, in our churches and promoted by the entertainment and news media industries – bound us together. We were Americans and damn proud of it.
But that has all changed in America today, specifically on the radical political leftwing, which now dominates the Democrat Party and its policy pursuits. As I discussed in that piece, our entire system of government and the viability of our constitutional Republic depends on the premise that the vast majority of those who govern us would be people of good will who love this country and are loyal to it. Sadly, that entire premise has now become extremely suspect in the Democrat Party, the party that dominates states like New York, which Rush referred to in that monologue.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having an Eric Swalwell among it, Nancy Pelosi assigns him to serve on the House Intelligence Committee, a post from which he could easily share America’s most tightly held national security secrets to his ChiCom honeypot. Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having a Dianne Feinstein – who employed a ChiCom spy as her chauffer for 20 years – in its midst, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer assign her to serve as the Party’s senior member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having anti-Semitic, America hating members like AOC, Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar in its midst, it celebrates them, gives them plum committee assignments and affords them heavy influence in the Party’s agenda.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having ChiCom sellouts like Joe and Hunter Biden in its midst, it celebrates them, covers up for them and even rigs its presidential nomination for an elderly, declining lifelong circus clown as a reward.
The abject hatred of America and everything it stands far among those on the radical political left is not only glaringly evident in Congress, we can see it every day rioting in the streets and issuing heinous diatribes on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. We are at a point in this country where one cannot wear a cap expressing a desire for this country to be great again without being physically assaulted on the streets with the full sanction of many local mayors and the entirety of the corrupt national news media. We are at a point in our country where one risks assault by admitting he or she works in the oil industry or goes to church. We are at a point in our country where major city Democrat mayors like Bill De Blasio feel free to repeatedly attack, chastise and discriminate against Jews and Christians.
What do people in Texas or Oklahoma or North Dakota or Louisiana or Alabama have in common with people in New York or California or Seattle or Portland anymore? Not much, and in very large part, not even love of country.
So, when Rush Limbaugh says he thinks we are trending towards secession, he should be taken seriously.
That is all.
Those STATES should not be considered the enemy.
Matthew 18:8-9
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.
The litany of secession:
If a state or states causes socialism, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for a Free Republic to go on maimed or crippled than to have all its states and together be thrown into the eternal fire of collectivism. And if the Federal Government causes you to sin; secede from it, peacefully hopefully but secede just the same.. It is better to govern as a sovereign state, smaller and diminished in power than to be thrown into the fire of centralized Federal usurpation
Never mind about cva - he never misses an opportunity to trash the United States or call for its demise.
More defeatist crap. The SCOTUS hasn’t even ruled yet and you’re already off to Planet of the Apes. Pathetic.
I couldn’t have written anything better.
Great post.
“Past generations of Americans had plenty in common, the most obvious among those things being that we were all Americans and all but a tiny few felt an undying loyalty to this country.

This is just a lie! Past generations HAVE NOT had plenty in common!! They were split in 1776 and again in 1861 (and the period leading up to those years). This time is no different and for the most part, it involves the same group of people.
There are some very good books written by mainstream authors who explain it all.
Secession talk is clearly not new. It has been around for a while from many corners and states (even recently).
Of course, there was more than talk in 1861! We may be there again now.
War and bloodshed maybe. But who’s to say whether it is “needless”.
The current conflict is clearly between rural America, which loves freedom, vs. urban America, which wants collectivism.
Why should rural Americans submit to urban Americans - just because of the way state lines were drawn hundreds of years ago?
Your post makes no sense. FYI State secession is being discussed.
It is the states that are the political entities that entered into the pact known as the USA. Complicating things like you suggest would lead to needless war and bloodshed.
There are huge red swaths even in blue states. They should join any adjoining red state. There are blue cities, not blue states.
90% of the area - not 90% of the voting population.
I would love it if New Jersey would take Philadelphia off our hands.
It is the states that are the political entities that entered into the pact known as the USA. Complicating things like you suggest would lead to needless war and bloodshed.
Just the other day my local news/propaganda station gleefully reported that America was now a country where over fifty percent of the population were “people of color”!
So I asked myself what are the countries like that are close to 100% poc? Most all are third world status, and truthfully not anyplace I’d ever want to reside.
I love the idea of secession because I know it’s the only way a more culturally enhanced society will survive. Like most though, getting there will be difficult.
Repeating it doesn’t make it true.
I disagree. Culturally we used to have a great deal in common.
There was patriotism, a shared ethical outlook, religion was held in high esteem. That changed in the 1960s when the radical communists infiltrated the demoncrat party.
As we've moved into a post-Christian US we're seeing the fractures that causes.
We cannot be friends with the world as the world will not be friends with us.
The people have a God-given natural duty and perfect right to overthrow (with force or secession) any tyranny and replace it with natural rights.
For possible cranial penetration:
It is the states that are the political entities that entered into the pact known as the USA. Complicating things like you suggest would lead to needless war and bloodshed.
Secession doesn’t necessarily have to lead to civil war. It is obvious Red America and Blue America are sick of each other. Better for each to peacefully go its own way than the continued infighting among citizens of a supposedly united nation.
Cut off the areas that don't love the USA. Let the Leftys have their utopian strongholds, their own Constitution, their own set of laws. Require travel visas for their citizens to get out. They can call themselves the Delusional Disconnected States of Amerika.
Let them show us how great their ways are.
The rest of us can flourish.
Dominions machines outdoor have to be reprogrammed to favor the Dem candidates.
