Score one for the seceshers. The leftists are laughing at you.

Very Well put.

What is more American than the right of self determination. Should West Maryland or Colorado simply kneel over and take what the Politicians in the Capital give them, when they have no voice there?

When the real Americans really get enough, they’ll let you know....but don’t depend on getting regular supplies of food, fuel and electricity.

Bizarre as it seems

This movement is not bizarre, it is 100% predictable if you pay attention to population density and how it affects culture and behavior. These secessionists are liberal vs. conservative, but that is not the root cause. It is rural vs. city.

Scotus 1964 decision Reynolds v. Sims.

A majority of black-robes sentenced entire states to the tyranny of their city mobs.

It is reasonable to want to keep the Constitution and freedoms that distinguish America from socialist countries. The fanatical leftists who love the socialist stuff should move to a socialist wonderland of their choice, instead of forcing the rest of us to give up what America is, and is supposed to be. There are plenty of countries that don’t have the 2nd Amendment or the 1st. Go, be happy.

Obama supported the Hawaiian secessionists. But that holds to his anti-imperialist worldview.

Federalists supported a strong federal government? BS. Compared to the anti-federalists, to be sure, but certainly not compared to today’s liberals. There’s your myth.

They keep pushing for Communism in Amerika because they claim that “real Communism hasn’t been tried yet”.

Why don’t they go to a country that already HAS Communism and push for “reform Communism”?

Why subvert a system that is nothing LIKE Communism?

“in a democracy, there are lots of other people who have viewpoints, and they don’t all throw a tantrum just because a vote doesn’t go their way.”

Oh yeah? How about the Defense of Marriage Act?

Bingo, and well said. I wait for the GOP to frame the debate in that way. Well, I’m not really waiting for them, but it sure would be effective and a change from always being on the defensive.

Obama supported the Hawaiian secessionists.

If Hawaii seceded from the union, then which of the remaining 56 [sic] states would Hussein claim he was born in?

Reynolds v. Sims and Baker v. Carr are the sources of the silly one-man-one-vote baloney.

Most states since colonial times had a house of their legislature based on county representation.

So yes, rural counties represented in state senates were able to stop the wild democracy of state assemblies dominated by large cities.

Our Scotus didn't like that. Neither would have happened if the states still appointed senators.
